Alpha Megalodon — Detailed Guide

The Alpha Megalodon is the alpha form of the Megalodon shark. It glows red, hits much harder than a normal Megalodon and boosts nearby Megalodons, so it often leads a dangerous pack.

Where to find it

Ocean maps: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok and Valguero in both games, Genesis Part 1 in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

How to get one

You cannot. Alpha Megalodons are not tameable, rideable or breedable.

Uses

It drops the Alpha Megalodon Fin, plus Raw Prime Fish Meat and Black Pearls.

Tips

Kill the Megalodons around it first, or pull it away from them, so it cannot boost the pack.
