ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These can be tamed by aggroing them and swimming upwards. There is a height barrier which they cannot cross and so you can tranq them with a crossbow from above that invisible barrier.
I’ve spent like 2 days searching for this and it’s like all Mosasaurus are extinct
If you have 300+ oxygen they are relatively easy. Take advantage of their bad turn radius and stick close to their tail to KO.
You can find then I’m the left corner behind herd island I found a alpha and regular in under 1 minute
DONT FIGHT JELLYFISH WITH THESE I made this mistake and my 261 mosa died.
Tip : Use a sarco to tame it, it's alot easier since sarco has high dmg than ichtyo and can clear the area and you can use weapons while on sarco.
Giga but in water, you see , you run
There are few ways to tame this sea giga. Let me explain them all:
1. Just damn battling: Get a fast water mount and literally kite Mosa as you smack its face with your torpor weapon.
2. Trapping: You need to create a trap like a cell. Get a Benemoth dino gateway and a gate, some foundations, and pillars that Mosa can’t go through. Make it follow you into the cage, then get out from the gap that pillars created and shut the door. After that, knock it out and feed it.
3. (and also my favorite) Ammonite Strategy:
Punch an ammonite. It will give you the rage debuff and every creature will chase you down, including the Mosasaurus. So the Mosasaur has a limit on depth. What i mean is that it can’t go higher than a set limit, since it’s a deepsea creature. But when the rage is on, it will ignore the limit and follow you even to shallows. Get out of the water and wait until your rage wears off. The Mosasaur won’t be able to move since it has broken it’s limits and can’t go back. Hit it with your torpor weapon and knock it out.
4. Going Up and Down:
As i mentioned earlier, the Mosasaur has a set limit on depth. Hit the Mosasaur, then let it swim up to you, of course swim away whilst doing that, also hit it while you’re swimming away. After it has reached the limits, it will stop chasing you. When it does, go deeper and hit it again. Go this couple of times until it gets knocked out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t forget to kill the surrounding creatures like Plesiosaurs, Tusos, Electropus and Anglers since it can attack you and ruin the taming.
Thanks for reading and good luck Survivors!
Looking to tame this Underwater Apex Predator?
Nice! Lets get started!!!! ;')
SUPPLIES FOR THE TAME:
-Ascendant Crossbow
-Toxic arrows
-Lots of Bio or Narcotics
-Mosa Saddle (Platform Saddle or Normal Saddle or TEK Saddle)
-Mount (To keep you safe from any Electrophourus, Angler,Euripyupturid,Megalodon, and Jelly-Fish) (Idk how to spell Eyripyupturid lol)
-Scuba Gear ( So you wont drown)
Alr lets start!
For Mobile:
Step 1: Find the Mosasaur (Mosas are found deep under the sea, they are uncommon in the Red Obelisk sea's)
Step 2: If you find your self a high lvl mosa then get ready (Make sure your mount has good turning radius like a Megalodon since they have a little good turning radius)
Step 3: KO your underwater Giga! (Like a plesio Mosas stay bellow since they have a height limit so if you go up its height limit then it wont attack you, just make sure no Electrophpurus or Angler and Megalodons and Jelly-Fish come in your way)
Step 4: Once everything is cleared and your mosa is KO"d feed it Quetz Kibble and put the bio or narcotics in its inventory. (Fact about ARK: Quetzals are the easiest creatures to farm)
Step 5: Just wait and keep clearing the area when more enemies come.
Wohoo!!! You tamed a mosasaur 🐋🐳🥳🥳!
Now lets start with its abilities! It has only 2 abilities! Which is sad but still cool!
TEK SADDLE ABILITY:
ABILITY 1-The Mosa can shoot underwater plasma guns just like every creature in ARK that has a TEK Saddle. (Sadly this only works on PC and consle not in mobile :'( )
PLATFORM SADDLE ABILITY
ABILITY 2-You can build a small base on its back or create a underwater fortress to make it rule the seas in PVP
Now for the Disabilities when wild and tamed! It has 2!
Disability 1 (WILD)- The mosa has a height limit now i know this is cool but for the mosa its not lol.
Disability 2 (TAMED)- Even if the mosa has good Melee, Stam, And HP It has bad turning radius which means anglers and electrophourus and Jellyfish and megalodons go in its belly and tail so it wont attack the opponents its also same with plesio.
Thanks for seeing my Guide! 😁 Hope this helps ya"ll! And take care 😃😄😃😄😄
On mobile they can be found in deep water around carno island herb island and artic ocean then you pretty much need a water mount dolphins plesiosaur’s or megladons are recommended and you need sucba gear or else you will drown they have a shallow limit so tranq it and it will chase you untill shallow limit then it will not go shallower if it swims back down do the same thing agian keep doing this until it’s knocked out then prime fish works best but normal prime meat will work too and bring around 300 or 400 bio toxin or narcotics depending what level it is then wait a bit and done congrats
A good way of looking for these things (mobile): sweep the border of the map and the ocean floor, using an ichthy to keep everything away. Once you find one, park your ichthy somewhere, then swim up to the depth limit of the mosa (you might have to test where it is though, be careful, mosas can swim up FAST). Being off the ichthy will catch its attention. Swimming up to the depth limit will cause it to Aggro off of you, so go back and forth with going to its depth limit, attracting it, and swimming back up to fill it with tranqs. The basic idea is attract, swim up, fill with tranqs, repeat. Hope this helps!
i tamed a lvl 145 x mosa with 600 arrows and 6.5 crossbows today
Guarantee to be under the big arctic island northwest on the island map.
On ASA, just tamed one, lvl 150, on a boosted server, maybe 3x. I took 4 behemoths gates, I placed them like a cage under a cliff on the bottom of the sea, so the top part is covered by the cliff. I lured the Mossa inside the cage with my Basi and trapped it, then via a small gap I shot it with the ascended crossbow (400% damage) 50 - 60 Tranq arrows, feed it with at least 7 Extraordinary Kibble and 200 Narcotics to be sure it will not wake up before.
Pro:
It's very fast in the water, I want to race it against the dolphin, it might be faster.
Good at collecting meat, gel, biotoxin, hide etc.
Cons:
Can't reach too close to the shore because it's getting beached.
The turning radius is horrible, if something is attacking you from behind it's very difficult to turn around and do some damage back.
It's loosing health faster than Basi
