Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
Eats pretty much everything in ark. SMFH
Wtf am I saying, they aren't real.
Easily tamed - pick up with quetz dropped into a 2 wall high taming pen ( stone ) can brake wood. Level 23 took me 31 tranq arrows from cross bow then I fed it prime meat. Looks derpy af XD
I found a 140 and was able to take it back to my base. My partner KOd it with bio darts while I held it with the quetz. I then put a stack of prime as well as Honey pots on it to see which it preferred and it chose the honey. It took 4 honey to tame on a 10x taming server.
They tame quicker on raw mutton. A lvl 25 gathered 140-180 chitin on 1 single scorp with the bug buff otherwise it's jus like a therizino but not as strong
While this creature is quite vulnerable and slow in general, in the presence of bugs it receives a buff and becomes a complete powerhouse and is an almost unstoppable harvester of chitin. It has decent weight and should be tamed with Megalania kibble or mutton. Level melee and weight.
Use a thylacoleo/crossbow for knocking it out, it wil be down in 1-2 min
Can be trapped in the harpoon net.
Making a trap will help a lot taming this Dino.
The page says you can use a bow and regular arrows, there is a strong chance of it dying though which it doesn't say.
Used trank darts on a lvl 140. Only used 30
Dodorex is wrong take 2x time more for cooked lam chops.
You can raise it using berries. It's a lot easier than meat.
Megatherium eats honey or megalania kibble which is made with honey. Yet I can't make it. So it's broken af right now.
I was taming a lvl 22 and it took 6 narcotics( and I probably could’ve used less) when dododex told me it needed about 33, just saying, probably don’t need as much narcotics as listed
Dam boy he smacks boy thats a smacky boy dam
Where is the best spot to tame them? What map has lots of them?
It's not 16 mutton for a 145, I had 20 raw mutton and put it on the mega I had down when it was ready to get up and it consumed it all and was only at 50+%.... Had to finish it off with reg meat...not cool doddex not cool.
Ummm is it a passive or knock out tame
Isn’t it crazy to think that this is a sloth? Like, a big bad creature that is amazing in the Broodmother fight, AND ITS A SLOTH
They will actually eat anything, but the fastest is Raw Mutton.
