Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
The Megalodon is a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the DMG group.
Stamina sits at 320 base, providing decent staying power. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Megalodon sits at 600 base, making it solidly tanky. It carries 250 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
The Megalodon is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Megalodon is well-suited for deep-sea exploration, cave diving, and ocean resource runs. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 12 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.37 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
