Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
If it has the red aura on it, don’t try to knock it out. Just wasted 50 tranqs when it had the aura, only took 12 without
Darn sloth can't run fast but good for collecting foods and INCREDIBLE for chitin and has a pretty good weight...
I put some billboards around my sloth then tranqed him and it worked out for me and him
Tap the good arrow so ppl can see before taming pls
In Mobile version, megatherium can be resurrect on the obelisk after killing it in the dungeon (plase in mobile, where you can have battle with bosses). It doesn't live in normal world. In mobile it eats an old kibble: baryonyx egg+raw fish+potato+mejoberry+fiber. It is very important information for mobile players! Up so mobile players can see this. By void original from google
Just caught two of these beastly animals today with my son. The best way to capture one is three metal signs in the form of a triangle with a bear trap in the middle of it. Lay the first two metal sign down in a 90 degree angle and put the bear (large one) trap in the middle. Get the megatherium to follow you into the bear trap, and put the third sign on the outside of the animal. Tranq it up and vola you have a Megatherium.

MEGATHERIUM: Sound Triggered?
Towards Insects, hell yeah.
These things Ark Devs call Giant Sloths are the No.2 Producer of Chitin and Keratin.
You never have to worry about Cementing Paste Again!
When attempting to knock out. Take into account the current 'state' they are in. Normal or Enraged.
Torpor acts normally during knock out if they are in their 'normal state' allowing for an easier knock out.
When they're in their 'Bug Rage' state, torpor drops insanely fast during attempts to knock them out. Resulting in darts being less effective, and the need for Tranquilizer Arrows Torpor over Time to help counter.
The reason for this, is due to the Bug Rage being a natural counter to the poisons of the various torpor inducing attacks of the Arks "Australian sized" insects.
For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab it’s respawn artifact thing then get a respawn pad respawn it and build stone walls around so it does not get out and escape then tranq it out the easy way is to feed berries hard way is honey. Blow this up so peeps can see it
In mobile, these only spawn in dungeons. Some dungeons. Also to tame you will need a revival platform and a good amount of ancient amber.
Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info
Giant bee honey seems to work well for taming. They can be picked up by wyverns.
To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

Can be picked up with quetz. Found them very quickly in the snow area. Also seems like it can gather just about anything. The buff they get for killing insects also seems to increase the damage it does on other creatures
I adopted it using bait. My best dinosaur was a Triceratops. I managed to adopt it, but if you don't have the budget to build stone walls and floors, bring a bait with a full life, tell it not to be aggressive, and attack the megatherium with the dinosaur. Stop with the dinosaur in place and let the megatherium attack your dinosaur while you shoot it with semi-anesthetizer. If you've made it this far, I'd love for you to share this for anyone who needs it. Thanks for reading.
Don't use a rhyniognatha.
Trust me on this one.
Megatherium is on Lost Island. Can confirm in redwoods
Use honey to tame. Its easy to get, And its a alternative kibble. Highly recommend using honey
don’t shoot it when its glowing red, the tranq wont be affective. its best to tame it when its trapped and make sure there are no bugs nearby; bugs give the megatherium a buff (the red glow) which makes the megatherium resistant increases and get lower torpor and damage. hope this helps, goodluck with your tame!
make a sheep farm and cyo it and kill it when you knock it out makes tameing so easy in my case eanyways
