More about taming the Mek
Mek is craftable.
Taming a Mek is done through crafting, not traditional taming methods. You must assemble it using Element-based resources. The primary components are Element, Element Shard, and Element Dust, all of which are required during construction. It cannot be immobilized or sedated like wild creatures. Use the calculator below for your settings.
