Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
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
These creatures are great! The only thing is there slow. To tame them all you need is
4 stone foundations
16 stone doorways
And 4 ramps
Now you build a 2x2 then make it 2 stories tall with the doorways. Put the ramps on the side you want it to go on. Then shoot it with your tranqs so it chases you. Run into the trap and exit through the doorways. Shoot it with tranqs and you can either starve it or feed it right away. I personally like starving it. Feed it superior kibble, bee honey, or prime meat work the best but if u don’t have any of those just use normal meat. And now u have yourself a great big friendly sloth
It’s difficult to trap it with dinosaur gateways, just trap it with large bear trap and walls
Good dino for gathering rare floweers in the swamp biom.
Does not get that much prime, especially not compared to the theriz. Great for thatch berries mushrooms and rare flowers melee is pretty good on high levels pretty good weight. Use different attacks for different items
Stands more than 3 walls high, yet can be carried by a Quetzal.
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.
Ok now mobile players it is not wild in mobile like for some reason you need to go in dungeons to get them and plus you need ancient amber’s to get them and a lot ho I don’t now if it’s a lot of ancient amber’s because there hard to get I have god console and I have done all the ascendant stuff and master craft I don’t know what’s better if some one could answer if ascendt stuff is better or master craft is better anyway and all levels into hp and still a have 199 times litterly I’ve counted that all anyways I’m done
They go nuts against bugs and even get a buff that increases their attack against bugs and reduces the bug’s attacks towards them, but they don’t tame with chitin???
An overall great tame. This is a must have creature for all of your cementing paste needs. The easiest way to tame them I found is just find a small rock that they can’t climb up and tranq it
Tip for mobile players you can only find these in dungeons there preferred food on mobile is baryoyonx kibble.
Can be found on dungeons (mobile). Real fast. Real powerful. Also have LOTS of health. Their hit is really painful to your armor. Prepare some ancient ambar, soothing balm and honey and get yourself one, for collection.
Just tamed a 150 stuck in a rock got lucky he's a beast my favorite so far
When knocking out this dino make sure to have a trap for it,for it will run very fast in the opposite direction.
Really great for thatch, decent weight, speed and resilient
Bring about 60 tranq darts if you want to tame a max level megatherium get 4 metal bill boards place 3 in a box formation keep one and hit the megatherium then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE wait till he aggros on the bill board then go around and place the 4th bill board behind him then he's trapped so start shooting away he'll take about 10 prime meat only if you let him drop like 800 hunger this is in small tribes BTW.
They kinda look like they're praying when they sit down.
You get the saddle at 52 not 24 BTW for all yall who were wondering
Torpor goes down quick. But they love honey! And it can be picked up by a quetz!
do not fight this thing when enraged he pinned my rex into a tree and killed it
he wil usually run away when trying to tame it
