What is a megatherium used for? megatherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Think of your favorite tame... that was cute. Introducing you to your new favorite tame, GOD... I mean megatherium. Sorry, with one kill of a bug they are very hard to tell apart. You remember waking up on the beach naked and running away from those drones? Yeah, now they will have nightmares of a big ass sloth frothing at the mouth for their demise. Giga making you worry next door? Nothing a Megatherium or 20 and some bug crack can’t fix. I promise you getting one of these changed my life. Collects Chiton pretty good I guess. If pretty good is you throwing out 16K cause you’re slot capped. Your future daughter will call this tame daddy, if you already have a daughter... you should have had a son.
Megatheriums are one of if not the absolute best way to defeat the Brood Mother, for instance it can easily obliterate any and all cave dwellers that guard the artifacts necessary to summon this demonic demigod. It also receives a damage boost when they kill any invertebrates and therefore, it is essential to use in the boss fight. When paired up with a Yuti and Deadon these killing machines are completely unstoppable; although, I’d recommend both high levels and great saddles.
Please like to help those of whom are planning on beating the Brood Mother.
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 trying to get megatherium. And believe me I feel those players that try to get mega implant on mega dungeon a billion times but still fa8l and the give up and then write a review beging for mega to be on the outer world in game.(I did those things). Hope this helps! Stay strong with bugs my friends!🐞🐛🐜🦟🪲🪳🕷️
Ah yes, the good ol bug eater. But can it eat bugs as much as we expect? Today I will test that out to fight the gamma, beta and alpha broodmothers! By the way the megatheriums aren’t mutated and are level 430-470
Gamma: Set them to aggresive for bug buff. Oh boy, soon they started SHREDDING the big spider. It died in about 1 minute and 30 seconds,
Beta: At about half hp she killed just one of them, but overall she died without any more casualties.
Alpha: Yknow the drill, aggresive. But she was pretty fast so the megatheriums got the bug buff early. But then she killed 3 at the SAME TIME. Things went pretty downhill from there. The megatheriums got her to 1/4th hp, but soon they were all mowed down.
So, what do i think? I think that megatheriums are really good for the broodmother! And keep in mind, these were UNMUTATED megatheriums.
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.

It's great at collecting berries, fiber and chitin from insects/bugs. He also doesn't collect charcoal from the burnt trees near the volcano in ragnarok anymore. Great for fighting broodmother and doing artifact runs on the island and caves that are filled with insects. Definitely worth taming
