Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a plesiosaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a plesiosaur.
Trapping- it's a 3 for 1 trap. Trap will work for plesio, moss, Squid. 4 sides of behemoth gates. 4 corner inside trap with pillars higher than gate. 3 Celling on each pillars going center of trap. So only a small gap in center. Now take a small angler or ichy or shark. Lure dinos in and get out from top and close door.
Voilà.
Early game taming trap for big water dino. Now your problem is getting it tamed after that. They take a lot of ressources to tame.
I would suggest plesio and kill other stuff with it like alpha to get black pearls and Lure squid in same trap.
I found a level 51 plessi near herbivore island and lured it to shore then knocked it out and boom now I got a high level plessi (but jellyfish still scare me when riding it)(it died :(
Wondering how easy it is to tame one of these guys? I’ll tell you!
not simple nor hard.
simply have a water mount to swim out to an area where you have spotted plesiosaur(s) or know where they spawn at, once you have your plesio in sight, be wary of the threats nearby.
It is important to kill off any nearby predators that could intervene into the taming process. (Ex: megalodon)
Next, be at a certain surface level (how deep you are in) to the point where the plesiosaur won’t try to swim to you from, and knock it out with whatever tranquilizer method you have (I used a crossbow and ichthyosaurus) and begin the taming process.
Also remember to bring at least 100 narcotics for whatever level.
I tamed these guys with an Icthy, it isn't that hard. Just remember to constantly resurface so that it loses interest for a while so you could avoid damage.
You can trap a plessi by leading it into a trap the same way u would trap a argi but with the huge hats u only need 3 or 4 n put a smaller one at the end the it cant leave. They can also be found around carno Island FOR MOBILE PLAYERS.
If trained well, they can be really good for looting deep sea crates, as well as visiting underwater caves
Since a certain update, you can no longer get the plesiosaur to chase you up until it can't reach. When it can't chase you anymore, it will run away every time. Bring a dunk and let it munch on it against a wall. Especially on Ragnarok, the ocean is very open on there.
I have some tips for easy taming plesiosaur lvl 1-30. You need: Tamed Ichtiosaur, Oxygen balloon, Raw Prime Meat or Raw Meat, 60 narcotics or under, any crossbow, toxicant (or tranquilizer arrows, but this will be longer). That's all. You don't need traps or anything else. Just swim to plesiosaur's face on ichtiosaur, shoot toxicant (or tranquilizer) arrows, swim away from plesiosaur, reload, and repeat this again. After he go to sleep, just give him some meat, and feed narcotics sometimes. When you are on Ichtiosaur, anglers and mantas don't hurt you. This will be easy!
Fairly effective and safe way to knock most scary sea life:
Take a high lvl, high hp tame like a dunky,basil,or lvld mega
Find target and gain agro
Place “tank” between you and target.
Let target start munching while you attempt to land shots while it goes ham
The Adapter
Always 2 near the east bubble under north tropical (the center)
4 behemoth gate frames and two doors did the trick for me. I got 2 knocked and killed the one that didn’t go in the trap. I used an angler to Agro into trap. I increased movement speed
If you have flippers on float up if they try to bite you they'll miss 80% of the time because they're stupid
To the person who was wondering where they spawn on the island they
Spawn near the edges of the map
If you're taming a level 97 with raw prime, you're gonna need about tree fiddy narcotics.
It it's level is more than 100 you should go with 70 Arrow and I prefer you should use sarco to tame
Some one said there are no under water caves but I have seen about 7 out of 12 caves just wanted to let u know
My tip for taming these things (on mobile) is get a manta and a basil to tank dmg crossbow toxicant tranq arrows use lazoris powder then when the plesiosaur begins to torp run get put your basil on neutral get on your manta and chase him down
Mostly found near underwater caves in groups of 2 or 3
I was trying to tame one and my icthy killed it. Stupid icthy
I recommend using icthy because it’s fast and u can easily dodge the attacks
