great for fighting the broodmother, all the araeno practically give it a permanent buff, plus they're easier to tame and breed than rexes!

Has good carry weight, gathers lots of berries, thatch, fiber, and chitin. Also it can be maneuvered a lot easier than other berry collectors.

Your guide to the… MEGATHERIUM!

How to tame:

Get a pt (pteranodon) and get a bow and tranqs.

Next fly LOW as thylac (thylacolyo) tend to hide high in the trees where these guys live.

Then you lure it out of the redwoods and lead it to a beach OUTSIDE of the redwood zone.

Tranq till it drops and then feed mejo berries.

Uses:

Harvesting

Killing bugs

Killing anything really

Getting from place to place safely

Breeding and taming a Rhyniogatha

And finally boss fights and caves.

Where to find it:

Redwoods EXCLUSIVELY

Difficulty taming and doing all the other stuff:

6–8 depending on what part of redwoods you find it in, and where your base is

Should you tame based on my experience?

YES, new to middle or even late gamers should tame this creature.

Hope this helps—PycoDaShark!

In my opinion one of the best land mounts in the game, slow turn radius and sprint speed are its only cons, great base health and damage, amazing base carry weight and good stamina make this my taming mount, at 4K health it can tank a Spino while I tranq it still riding which just sold it for me. It can gather berries well enough and it’s bug killer buff makes it a force to be reckoned with around any area with bugs or scorpions

Go out of your way to tame this thing, a high level mega is my go to land mount now

This things the Swiss army knife of dinos. It does everything.

Here's a hint. These sloths get a buff after eating insects, boss fight anyone?

Are these on Switch? I just got ARK on Switch yesterday, and I was wondering if I could tame one on the Island.

Good against the broodmother,because of their boost against bugs.(if they kill a bug they get a boost that basically makes them the strongest Dino in ark.)Breeding them is also really easy because they give you a baby instantly and don't drop an egg, which saves a bit of time.

In the Island Redwoods cave and Ragnarok Ascended Carnivore Cavern, there is heaven for Megatheriums

My boss fight buds

ISyzen-

These creatures are pretty easy to tame (a simple knock out feed) they are brilliant for caves as they have the bug buff ability (makes them 2x stronger when fighting bugs) also these creatures are amazing for the broodmother for the same reason.

Hope this helped.

I use these guys for boss fights they are amazing if you have enough of them

I would highly recommend getting one of these big boys. Me and one of my boys got a 140 earlier today and I must say he is quite the Dino. His name is Pablo and he is a beast. Got his health to 10k and his melee to 350 then took him down to the swamp cave on the island. Pablo single handedly wiped the entire big population in that cave and in the process got me from level 96-100. Most importantly you can sit these guys which is what really sold me. Anyways I’d highly recommend getting one of these sloths.

He is basically the incarnation of a gorilla god if he gets his hand on any bug. He will obliterate any who stand before him and rip the chitin from your very soul. Cause if you didn’t have chitin before now be prepared to have to much of it. The only downside of this literal demy god is that it’s hard to get his fat furry ass anywhere cause he is humungous.

Like the Therizino, but gathers more thatch than wood. Also, this thing has really good weight.

Can be put in a procoptodon (kangaroo) pouch while it’s in a baby state

You never know what you've got until it's gone. Actually I knew exactly what I had and that was my mega. The BEST at gathering chitlin or keratin. I'd take him to a spot with a lot of bugs and after 2 mins I'd have stacks and stacks of chit/keratin. I left him on a boat while I took my argys to get some obsidian real fast and ended up running into 3 spinos. Took a while to kill 2 and tame the 3rd while fending off tickle chickens then on the way back I found a gigantithicus or whatever the sasquatch is and followed him around shoving berries in his ass until he was tamed and by the time I got back to my raft base with the spino and harry my mega was dead..... I've spent 2 days looking for another and can't find one. I saw them ALL THE TIME until I'm looking for one lol.

It doesnt say but these things are a godsend on scorched. Can collect alot of silk, cactus sap,fiber, and berries. If you take it out into the dessert and have a decent level megatherium you can kill deathworms and mantis' untill you get bored.

Yes these ARE on switch/Nintendo (whatever you want to call it) I’ve tamed most of my megatheriums on switch they usually are in redwoods/blue ob

Takes out broodmother well because of bug rage buff
