It would be AWESOME if we could tame this beast. We can scrape food off of it, it has more base health than a Mosasaurus and can break everything up to and including metal. I say it should have a platform saddle, it would be the perfect base since as I already mentioned WE CAN SCRAPE FOOD OFF OF IT! So if you are at sea and become low on food, scrape off the fish meat and have a feast. This would be perfect for pvp and in all honesty, great for singleplayer and pve as well. Surely I am not the only one who would want this?
Up = Agree.
Down = Disagree.
Even though we can’t tame this monster, it can help in a very easy way.
1. Find one near herbivore island.
2. Lead it over to the cove.
3. Use behemoth gates to trap it in the cove.
4. Build a base or outpost at the shore full of refrigirators, and occasionally scrape off meat.
5. Store all this meat in the outposts and use it for whatever!
Like if it worked!
These things are great if you want to get a LOT of raw prime fish meat. They give 50 per scrape. They are found mainly around herbivore island! If you can’t find any go on a giant murder spree and kill all the feesh in the water, one will spawn eventually! They are passive and won’t attack (unless you attack them first) but they WILL eat your boats. Just swim up to them with a dino on mobile and tap them to scrape off their meat (you can scrape every 10 minutes). I recommend trapping them for easier access.
If your raft gets hit once, stop it right away. 50% chance it won't hit it a second time and you might just save your raft, simply wait for it to go away then sail to shallow waters asap. You cannot outrun it with a raft and our only takes 2 strikes to sink a full health raft.
