How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
How can I tame a megatherium in Ark mobile?I haven’t seen any of this in ark mobile
In contrast to what's been said, it does eat meat while being tamed. Works perfectly fine.
good tip to remember. dont think you can out run these guys they are fast. when taming using a few large bear traps
If you are playing on fjordur travel to jotenhien, you will find many more high level megatheriums (just make sure to have curry, tek canteen, and good fur). Sorry if spelling is bad
You can pick it up with a Quetzal.
Metal Bill Boards are an easy way to tame it, but alternative stone traps may work (Argentavis Trap, 2x2 door way trap). I highly recommend Honey, easy to get and is practically kibble, but mutton works fine.
To tame this beast create the contraption built from:
-4 Stone Foundations,
-16 Stone Door Frames,
-6 Wooden Ramps.
The foundations will hold the stone door frames you want 16 stone door frames to put on the perimeter. 8 stone door frames on top of 8 stone door frames. Hit the Megatherium when the trap is set, run up the wooden ramp and weave through the stone door frames then it should follow you in and be trapped as it can’t break stone (if you see damage numbers both stay back since it is still angry at you and don’t worry about it escaping it is probably hitting the wooden ramps, which are wooden to be expendable. Now slaughter all carnivores around trank, feed and enjoy your new brood mother musher.🥳
This guy is very strong and tanky. You found him in redwood, desert and dark fern forest.
He's easy to tame.

TRAP IDEA:
Items needed:
6 stone foundations
10 stone door frames
2 wooden ramps
General trap:
Place the 6 foundations 3 on each side
Then put the doorframes on the outside of the the foundation you then need to put the two ramps on two of the door ways so the megatherium walks up it when you agro it. Get out of the trap and tranq!.
*BEWARE KEEP OUT OF ITS MELEE DISTANCE IT WILL DESTROY YOU*
Use 3 metal billboards and a large bear trap to tame. Super easy and effective. Place two at a 45 degree angle w bear trap in corner. Agro w argie, trap it, place 3rd billboard and BOOM - K.O!!
When teaming these bad boys try to use a 3 x 7 stone foundation with some stone doorways surrounding it (make sure there 2 high and put a behemoth gate in the front of it that’s a really good trap to make for these guys and also be careful because they are very fast and you cannot out run them
Dont compare stats to t rex, it says trex is higher but this thing harvests more and gets rage effect from killing anything that drops chitin. Which makes them do more damage and take less damage/torpor
It's like a giant koala but then it wants to rip your face off
Can be carried by a quetz and a wyvern. Can attack your mount while being carried if it's facing in the direction of it and can be tamed using honey. Drop it in with a quetz or wyvern and tranq away. Eats honey pretty slowly but very decent efficiency off of it.
A really easy trap to make is using three stone dino gateways and two gates. If you put them down in a line, placing the gates on each end, so the Megatherium can fit in the middle, it makes for a great and (relatively) cheap trap.
Wait for bug buff to wear off before shooting it save urself some darts
Honey works as well as mutton to tame and almost as good as kibble, trap in pen and starve tame with honey, a very powerful tame and easy, works well for dire bears also
1 foundation + 4 walls high is out of their hit box range. These angry dopes will just let you ping them in the face with tranqs until they get sleepy and try to run. Park your bird up there with you and give chase when you need to.
