Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a plesiosaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a plesiosaur.
Whoever said they are resistant to shock is lying my plesiosaur got stunned. I think I did less damage but I’m not entirely sure. But it’s not immune to shock. That’s for sure.
It's like a fish but bigger
The person who tamed a plesiosaur with a Sarco….you seem like my kind of person🙂 #SARCOS RULE
-Sarco master
My trusty sarcosuchus made knocking my plesi exceedingly simple, for three reasons. The sarco is fast, it ascends quickly, and you can shoot from its back. Once I separated my plesiosaur from her friend and killed it, the procedure was simple. When the plesi reaches a certain height it begins to flee. I dragged her up then filled her with tranqs until she aggro'd again. Repeat process until unconscious. Simple with sarco.
There is a glitch at the redwood on the center, where plesiosaurs will spawn really near the coast and whole groups of 2 or 3 are glitched in the water, meaning you can knock out multiple plesiosaurs at the time.
Plesiosaurs are the quetzals of the ocean change my mind
The trick is to argo one, have him chase you into an underwater cave where he will not be able to fit through the door but his long neck and head does. when you do this he will not de-agro, you can then get a clear shot from the cave with a bow and tranq arrows
Always spawn in packs of 2-3 keep that in mind while looking for them Rip my little itchy you were brave😭
Taming one is not too difficult. A high level won’t take too many tranq to knock out. When it’s knocked out, feeding it a soothing balm will allow u to tame it quickly, even with regular raw meat. Don’t forget to separate the plesiosaur u want from others in the area. Good luck!
(Like if this helps)
If you want to tame one I recommend using a icthy because I tamed one by using it. If you are try to pump up its stamina and speed. But obviously if your not like your a sarco master like me🐊🐊 you can use that. Use a crossbow and tranq darts or toxiant arrows because it reloads faster and guns don’t work underwater. Trust me I tried it. It didn’t turn out well. After like 20 tranq arrows it will be unconscious then get somewhere near 10 raw prime meat and BOOM!! You have a plesiosaur /\ if this helped
Pretty useful tame. Just get and Ichty and tranq it. Insane health, weight, speed, and melee damage.
Pump every points into stamina Bc they can't even swim 3 meters without getting tired. Worth taming.
After tamed, you can grapple onto them while a tribmate drives it and easily tame more large water mounts. If you are about to touch a structure or terrain, crouch to take off the hook or you will die instantly and your body will fly across the map
They can't fit through the resource caves' entrances. Just lure it into one and pull out your crossbow/harpoon gun for the knock out. Just be aware of any nearby megalodons, as they can fit into the cave easily and ruin your swimming session.
These guys are great and super fast and also very strong. Warning when your gonna go tame these guys bring a sarco or an icthy , they also spawn In 2,s or 3,s so be careful because these guys do a crap ton of damage .
Before you tame! This things bite radius is hooorrriibbllleeeeee. Do not tame in hopes of having some beast of the ocean. While it is strong, good luck getting it to actually bite something
The weakness of plesiosaur is the depth limit. Use it to tame it.this also work for mosasaurs. Scuba tank and flipper recommended
The trick to ko these guys is to wait for them to agro you, once they're close enough, swim up and backwards until you've reached their swim limit and shoot them as many times as possible. When they lose interest, just do the same trick and eventually you'll knock it out
Im gonna tanme one and name it nessie. I'll post this tip when she's tamed!
i died.
There is an invisible barrier at a certain depth that the plesis will not cross, you can drag them up to this and shoot them till they deagro, when they do reagro and repeat until their knocked out. Also, you can drag them to the entrance of an underwater cave, and shoot the plesi, as long as you dont venture too far into the cave, it will not deagro.
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.
