method, in orderStep by step
- Find a swarm of small fish or micro-organisms in the ocean.
- Lure the swarm to a Megachelon and keep it there.
- Swim alongside the turtle while it filter-feeds on the swarm. The taming bar fills from the swarm, not from you.
Also true
- Torpor-immune. It also carries a full building platform on its back once tamed, which is what makes the trouble worth it.
Torpor
- This creature is torpor-immune to conventional tranquilisers. Darts, arrows and Narcotics will not drop it, so the torpor figures elsewhere on this page describe its stat, not a route to taming it.
Holding it still
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the 
Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Megachelon, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 3000).
