Sea of Thieves – How Does the Megalodon Work?

sea-of-thieves

A few questions here

How / Why does the Megalodon spawn? I thought it only spawned once you were level 50 in an alliance but I've run into a ton with level 26 being my highest level.

How do you tell when / where it's spawning? It always just seems to come out of the blue and start circling me.

Can you stop it's charge attack? I've shot it with Cannonballs and Bullets but nothing seems to stop it.

Best Answer

In the sea of thieves wiki is no level connected to megalodon spawn mentioned and it seems to be random:

The Megalodons are vicious predators that appear around pirates at sea, different versions spawn less frequently and have unique attack patterns. They sometimes remain passive, but otherwise start to encircle its target before charging the ship for major damage and knockback. Defeating a Megalodon takes around 12-15 cannonball hits on a Sloop, around 15-18 cannonball hits on a Brigantine and around 30-32 cannonball hits on a Galleon.

and

Megalodons can spawn anywhere in the wide-open sea, however they will not go near Islands, Seaposts or Shipwrecks, so if you want to get rid of a meg that's chasing you, sail close to one of these landmarks.

About stopping it charge:

Every now and then, the Megalodon will charge your boat. A special musical cue will accompany the charge. The charge will leave a ship with 3-4 holes, do around 50% damage to a player and knock them back. 2-3 cannon shots in the charging Megalodon's mouth will disrupt its charge, leaving just one small hole in the hull and negating its knock-back effects.
