Taming Sabertooth - ARK: Creatures for traveling - most useful - Most useful dinosaurs - ARK Survival Evolved Guide

Taming Sabertooth

When selecting a creature for and finally taming it you must make sure that the one you're interested in is alone - those creatures tend to walk in pairs or in groups. It's very fast - escaping from it is not an option. The best method is to attack it from afar while standing on an elevation.

Megalodon is one of the best creatures when it comes to moving around in the water. It's a very dangerous creature for inexperienced players. It's aggressive and likes to keep its distance to lure you out into the deep waters, but sometimes you can stumble upon it near the shore as well.

Characteristic:

  1. You can mount it
  2. Aggressive
  3. Carnivorous

Killing it gives you:

  1. Raw Fish Meat
  2. Raw Prime Fish Meat

Taming Megalodon - ARK: Creatures for traveling - most useful - Most useful dinosaurs - ARK Survival Evolved Guide

Taming Megalodon

Taming Megalodon is not an easy task, as the creature lives in water. The most common approach is to use a crossbow with tranquillizer arrows. However, this method has a serious flaw - without the diving suit, a high-end armor, you won't be able to stay under water for very long. Additionally, you must protect your newly acquired companion, as there are numerous threats lurking in the deeps.

Another method is to either build a platform on the water or swim inside of a raft and taming the creature from it.

The best solution to this problem is to acquire another fish, place it near the shore and lure the Megalodons there. This will allow you to stun the Megalodon while on the beach.

Taming Pteradon - ARK: Creatures for traveling - most useful - Most useful dinosaurs - ARK Survival Evolved Guide

Taming Pteradon

You must remember that once you attack a Pteradon it will automatically take off into the sky. The most important thing when taming it is to quickly attack its head numerous times to prevent it from running away. Electric Pod can stun a 120 level Pteradon with a single strike, but this is a late-game weapon.

Additionally, you must make sure that the bird won't get stunned when above the water - it will simply fall into it and die.
