Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Bring a dolphin so it follows you, bring it to the top of ocean, mini game time use sickle an remove leachs in a timely fashion then feed it wait an do it again etc (Looks like it's a kibble tame exceptional or extraordinary it's like a bronto takes a while.
Level 100 saddle an has to be made in Tek rep
It will be a passive tame, you go up to it with a pack of ichthyosaurs and scrape barnacles off its belly.
Tamed a lvl 140 on official servers x2 event,
Dododex estimated 22 extraordinary kibble, i used 30. Come prepared.
This thing is kind of useless.
Everything in the ocean will aggro to it.It's not the strongest, Kind of weak at defending itself.And the new toothy tuna fish and megs like to get stuck in it, and you can't kill thim because it doesn't turn fast Enough, Saddle can only be unlocked at level 100. And tech has to be unlocked, But if you really want one, it only uses normal rockets for its torpedoes would've been so much better if they used the homing rockets to have homing torpedoes.
According to the dossier, now available on Discord, the method of taming is as follows. This hulking leviathan is a passive tame, however, to initiate the taming process you need a ‘school’ of Ichthyosaurs ( you’ll need a certain number of Ichtys to create the ‘school’), these will act as a distraction that enables you to do the next stage. Next, using a sickle, you swim to barnacle nodes on the Shastasaurus and harvest them. Assumably (since it doesn’t sate otherwise in the dossier) you have to repeat this several times.
It’s 4x rate, and trying to tame a Shasta and had to use 15 extraordinary kibble to tame it. So the amount here on dododex is wrong info
1.tame a dolphin (ichthyosaurus)and ride it
2.go to the shasta and it will do some communication with the dolphin
3.then it will follow the dolphin so make it follow you to the surface of the sea
4.there will be some things attached to the shasta's body and you have to remove them using a sickle
5.after you remove them go to it's mouth and feed it the kibble
6.repeat until tamed
