Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
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.
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!!
Wait for bug buff to wear off before shooting it save urself some darts
Can only be found in dungeons in mobile
just be careful with these guys, their torpor-run is very fast and they still need quite a lot of tranqs even after they start running
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
The number of tranq arrows that the app says you need to knock one out is wrong (at least for crossbows). It said I needed about 52 arrows for a level 120 and I ended up using way more than that. Also no it wasnt in bug rage mode so it couldnt have been the damage resistance
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.
Don’t try to knock it out near insects, including your own. If gets a huge buff when in combat around bugs so your tranqs will hardly work
Use berries or meat to tame and use lots of narcotics

Enjoy
The taming times are incorrect and needs fixing, would’ve lost my take if I didn’t come with back up kibble and narcotics
Dang dungeonering is challenging for me
Is there R megatheriums? MORE WORDS
If you're using it to defend off your tame, Do not use rightclick, i was 16 feet away and mega hit my tame and tame effectiveness fell to 33.3. Don't use right click
If you have the Net Projectile from Genesis it should be one and a few tnaq.

Kill any bugs in the area berore trying to knock out.
Cage them,shot them with tranq darts, feed them with honey,tame them, ride them and kill everything you see.
Use Giant Bee Honey to tame its either the second best way of taming or the kibble is just wrong cause the bee honey worked just as kibble
