Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
These fat little dudes spawn on genesis part 1 (on asa ofc) near the island by ~15.7, 23.8
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.
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.
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.
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
