megalodon good uses and bad uses

[DanielUK]

can somthing give me reasons why the megalodon is usefull and bad points about this underwater dino

[NexionSE of the Cm.G.]

well its easy to tame and a good start if you plan to do anything in the water bad thing its pretty weak compared to most other things down there but
lvling one up will enable you to tame a dunkelon or other easyer

Megalodon is amazing for hunting Eurypterid's (lobster looking things). Eurypterids have high torpor attack so hunting them unmounted is a terrible idea. Megalos have the highest collection rate I know of for gathering Black Pearls from Eurypterid. The black pearls are great for broth of enlightenment which gives you a potion for a great xp boost (it's also used to tame arthopleura/centipede).

In addition the black pearl are supposed to play a big role in the upcoming Tek Tier, so get a good megalo now and level him up. Even though fishing makes getting black pearls easier, I still prefer a good old fashioned hunt.

Bad point is the turning radius is large, also they are not that fast compared to the ichthyosaurus or manta. Having a Megalodon vs Megalodon fight is almost like slow motion when you keep turning for the bite. However I still like them and they provide a reasonably cost effective mount in terms of time to tame etc.

Itchys take no torpor from Eurypterids keep that in mind and passive tame.. but gl fighting off stuffs off yas

Mega is a good mid-game water dino, it´s easy to tame and a leveled mega can take on 1 or 2 plesios. But the moment you get your hands on a plesio or even a mosa you´ll never use your mega again.
