What ARK players use the Megatherium for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

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

Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them except if the dino is an allo, spino, rex, alpha rex, yuty, carcharo, giga, rhynio, or another megatherium thats insect buffed which will attack on sight.

Best all rounder in the game. Good at attacking, gathering. Easy to control. Massive buff against insects.

On pvp servers it best to run swamp cave with the megatherium for max level cap on your character

Kill every snail you see while riding a Megatherium. They collect ungodly amounts of chitin from them.

These things are the best broodmother slayers get a group of mutated megatheriums and you’re on your way to wrecking that spider’s pointy ass

hyaenodons are scared of these demigods that we call megatherium

So even though I’ve never had a megatherium, is still know how useful they can be. They are omnivores which means they cAn harvest berries, wood, and even Dinos. They also get a buff for killing bugs which makes them stronger. But the problem is that your heart will suffer…

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…

You know how this is good for broodmother? So why tame 17 or 18, just tane 1, then clone 16 or 17 times! Not grinding food to tame, just saddles. It's super safe, EZ as pie! Hope this helps you like it did me. (If you don't got the tek cloning machine engrams, ask a…

They are veru good in gathering fiber better than mosschops and very good in harvesting berries more narco berries better than paraceratherium

The best place to take these guys are the desert because if you do it right it will be infinite on rag

I know most ppl say got to the volcano yes that is more chit per minute but it’s a 2h cool down that’s why I say the desert is the best

(This is only for rag)

You can find them on the coast of the red woods on the island.Also they a weirdly fast so try to get one in water

Take this to swamp cave on island and get the 3x note before hand. Run the cave wearing a scuba tank and goggles. Best way to lvl up

Take a quick flight or run to the lava/burnt area and hit trees for massive amounts of charcoal and bonus those areas are full of insects so get that chitin!

I got 150 chiten from a spider with this instead of 20 with a pick. If your in a map where you can't steal cementing paste from beavers use a doedicures to get the stone and this to get the chiten.

In early to mid game these are one of the best ground mounts even if it's low level they are relatively easy to tame and can even beat rexes when they have the bug buff
