How ARK players tame and knock out the Megatherium: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

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.

Items needed:

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!!

The easiest way me and my brother do it is placing a large bear trap down Agro it then quickly place metal billboards around it then start pelting it with tranqs

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

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

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.

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

How to tame a megatherium

1.trap it

2.tranq it

3.feed meat or honey(mutton works too)

4.narcotics (over 75) 0 if tame speed

5.name your friend

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

Kill any bugs in the area berore trying to knock out.

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

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.
