What are tips for mosasaurus? Tips and strategies for mosasaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you live on herbivore island or another aquatic location I recommend taming one for base protection and naval superiority
the alpha versions can destroy every type of building
rip my 6 ind grills
A few tips for those who wanna tame one, but are terrified of wild mosa’s (like me) these are mainly for the island though
Tip #1. Grab an dolphin, nothing in the water agros on them (Except leedsycthys, but only if u attack them), and you can use weapons off their back
Tip #2. Make the dolphin really fast, it gives a bit of a confidence boost coz you know you can get away if you have too
Tip #3. Swim to the back of herbi island. Using tidy save, it’s really easy to find them coz there’s not much for them to hide behind, it’s also a liplurodon spawn, so……bonus
Tip #4. Traps! the basic rg trap but using behemoth gates works just fine
Hope this helps some people! (Apologies for the bad spelling in places)
Fun taming. As they can not go up after a certain water level, you can lure it to the level and shoot couple of times before it looses interest on you. And when it looses its interest just go a bit close to it and it will start chasing you again and then you go up that water level and shoot again. Do this for a couple of times and you are done knocking it out.
Can pick up wit squid , on my 3rd mossa tame now
X-Mosasaurus get 60% damage resistance.So you need to prepare 2.5 times of tranqs items to knock down it.
Squids the way to tame this take it high and just afk
if you are trying to knock out an X-Mosasaur bring at least 3x the tranqs listed, X-Dinos take 3x less damage from you and your tames so as a result they require 3x as many tranqs. I went through 550 tranq arrows and 5.5 crossbows to knockout a 135 and it took 30 mins of non-stop firing so you might want to build a trap. Btw X-dinos also deal 3x as much damage as a non X-dino of the same species I believe so beware!
Their base melee is exactly what it says. 100% melee base is basically a solid 100 damage in the case of thid burdenous JP star and it only adds up from there....
Pc / ps : 10 pages formula with steps
Old mobile : ammonite rage trick
New mobile : swim with draws and a club with dino damage set to 0
When I saw frst mosasaurus i waz goin to tame it so I just saw one the day I mate the tip
Heres how me and a friend of mine tamed it (you can also do this by yourself). Make a bird cage trap made out of stone as they dont damage stone structures. When its trapped, just tranq it with the weapon of your choice.
To make a bird cage trap, youll be needing 4-5 Behemoth Stone Dinasaur Gateway, 1 Reinforced Behemoth Gate, and a couple of stone pillars.
1st, decide on where you want to place the trap, I recommend to place it at the bottom of the ocean.
2nd, place the 1st gateway and put the 2nd in front of it, and so on. Make sure to make a little gap in each of them.
3rd, place your gate at the one end of the trap and the pillars on the other end. Make the gap of the pillars wide enough that an Itchy can slip through.
4th, luring the Mosa to your trap, I suggest to use an Itchy. Grab its attention and lure it to the trap, before you do this make sure the gate is open, just go right inside the trap while its chasing you, exit through the back end of the trap. Trap it, Tranq!
Taming tip:
1. Bring kibble btw kibble amount is inacurate for mobile you wil probably need less kibble
2. Bring basilosaurus
3.bring armor(helm hands leggings)
4.bring flipers
Now for tactic find mosa on a basilosaurus and let it aggro on basi when its agrroved dismount get a bit of distance and start tranqing when it starts to flee persu it and shoot when its ko d watch for its torpor and its surounding
Note(when dissmounting you are in danger thats why you need your best armor and make sure everything is aggroed on basi basi shoud be able to take most things with ease)
Easy way to tame on mobile (without a trap):
-Get a high lvl ichthyosaurs
-Lvl up movement speed
-Get scuba gear, a good crossbow, and a lot of tranqs
-Shoot at the mosa while staying on your ichthyosaurs
-Every time the mosa gets close, just swim and it won’t hit you
The good thing about using an ichthy is that nothing will agro on you besides the mosa
You can also use the same technique on basically any knock out tame in the ocean
They are found near Air bubbles down deep below. The Air bubbles also lead to an underwater cave! Have fun!
You can also tame him with a diving suit and a harpoon (narko speer )
Passed by two Mosa’s while on a Basilio to get to the artifact of the brute. They seemed to really love to look at the cave wall. One was in the artifact room with me, hopped off, grabbed it and he didn’t even budge. Seems like they don’t give two shits if he can’t physically see you.
I don’t understand why these aren’t in the popular category, they are awesome. It’s percentage of damage is its real damage, which means it originally does 100 damage. They work as a mobile boat (not a submarine because you can still drown). They are incredibly fast to, faster than a tamed itchyosaurus which means they are a fast tanky fighter that can do insane amounts of damage. 10/10 from me.
