How to tame tuso
1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath
2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.
3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.
4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.
5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.
6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.
U can only feed it black pearls and it must be grabbed on something to feed it
They are easier to find while riding a raft, having a monkey on your shoulder, and having a beard. It is recommended to have a big raft that looks like a pirate ship. The ship must have cannons.
I tamed one of these and immediately died, of course my reaction was like with most other tames of oh god dammit now it’s gonna die, I zipped over on a dolphin and found it sitting innocently in a ball of about 50 meg carcasses with 2 plesiosaurs in the mix

I found two liopluros on mobile before I found one of these dudes
Tuso on mobile are very rare. The only way to find them consistently is by playing brutal as difficulty and level contribute to spawns. If playing anything other than brutal, you should use tidy saves in single player. Tidy saves kill all Dinos outside of your tamed ones and those in your general area.
Because the Mosa cannot be grabbed on mobile, I recommend to just tame them instead as it is easier to get a ascendant saddle for them (Snow cave drop) and because they are much more common on medium/hard. They might take longer to tame but generally they are better.
If you cannot find a tuso, it is not because you aren’t looking hard enough, in fact, the ocean giants load in far before anything else. It is because the tuso refuses to spawn due to it being low on the spawn priority list.
P.S When you make a single player world for the first time, there is a set amount of tusos on the initial world gen.
Easy: Chance of 1 tuso spawning, guaranteed after surpassing level 80.
Medium: 2 spawn initially and a increased chance after surpassing level 85
Hard: 3 spawn initially and a chance of up to 2 more after surpassing 85
Brutal: 4 spawn initially and level doesn’t matter.
You need two people, one for feeding the black pearls and the other to feed the turtle that is in the grasp of the Tusoteuthis, with sweet vegetable cake for the health and to feed it stimulates berries as well

The Tusoteuthis is a massive, aggressive squid found in the depths of the oceans. In battle, the Tusoteuthis can grab its prey and knock it unconcious, siphoning its blood to gain health. Once tamed, the ink from a Tusoteuthis can be used as a constant Oil source. Some survivors choose to hunt the Tusoteuthis for its Oil.
