Astral Megalodon Egg & Breeding Calculator

Instead of laying eggs, the Astral Megalodon carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 6 hours and 9 minutes at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Astral Megalodon matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days and 23 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

28:29:24

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

35:36:45

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Astral Megalodon's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Astral Megalodon gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise? The Astral Megalodon raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~427 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Astral Megalodon simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

The Astral Megalodon, an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Astral Megalodon has respectable melee power. The Astral Megalodon has 9,600 base Health - one of the toughest creatures in the game. Stamina sits at 320 base, providing average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 250, giving it a solid weight pool.

The Astral Megalodon roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Astral Megalodon is worth 750 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.37 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
