Mega Mek Taming Details
Mega Mek is a knockout tame. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred).
Alternative foods: Species-appropriate food.
Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Mega Mek on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out
Mega Mek is a knockout tame. Use a Crossbow, Longneck Rifle with Tranq Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts. Aim for the head for bonus torpor and keep distance to avoid aggro damage.
4. Feed the right food
Place Kibble (preferred) in its inventory (alternatives: Species-appropriate food). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.
5. Maintain torpor
Watch the torpor bar. Feed Narcoberries or Narcotics to prevent it from waking up before the tame completes.
6. Claim & saddle
Once tamed, equip a saddle (unlocks via the engram tab) to ride your Mega Mek.

Mega Mek — Background & Lore
The Mega Mek is the giant combined form of the 
Mek, the Tek mech suit of Extinction. Four Meks merge into one huge machine built for the fight against the 
Alpha King Titan.
Where to find it
It belongs to Extinction and works only in the Alpha King Titan arena.
How to get one
Fit an M.O.M.I. module, which drops from the 
King Titan, into a lead Mek and have three other Meks nearby to form the Mega Mek. Meks themselves are crafted at a 
Tek Replicator and deployed, so they need no taming or saddle. Meks cannot be bred, and official servers allow only one Mega Mek per tribe at a time.
Uses
Fighting the Alpha King Titan. It has no cannon or module slot and fights only with its huge blade, which hits the Titan very hard. It also boosts the damage that other creatures in the arena deal to the Titan.
Tips
Meks build up heat while hovering and firing. At full heat a Mek stops hovering and falls, so keep an eye on the meter.
