What are tips for mosasaurus? Tips and strategies for mosasaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
you need over 2000 bio toxin if you use cooked fish meat on a level 150
Use a squid and someone with a crossbow tranqing it (X-Mosa) Op way to tame it
Bring hella ammo and gates or you can’t tame
An easy way to tame these beast is to make an argy trap but with behe gates and lure it in then tranq it. It may take a few try’s to get it In but it works. I used these because I was looking for pleays and that’s all I had
Just build a taming pen.
3 Behemoth Gate Frames are prefect (2 might work as well) + 2 Gates
Close one, the other one should be open.
Ride an Ichty and let it follow you.
If you done it correctly it can't get out and due to it's terrible turning radius you can swim with your Ichty to the gate and close ir
I’m not sure if this works on pc and console
If you hit an annomoite on mobile the mosa will aggro to u then swim up and make sure that it is in shallow water then you can start tranqing
Use a squid for taming. They can be hard to tame without one.
As everyone knows, Mosa and Plesy have a roof limit where they can swim upwards before they turn back. And i found out that Plesy have a slightly higher roof limit than them.
Can someone try the quetzel trap on a plesiosaur? I cant get the platform saddle yet and add a few more layers under the trap to not get hit by it
To tame this thing get you and a friend with a plesiosaur and sit on chair with scuba drive up because it will not go up to surface and pepper it with tranq arrows then repeat till it is knocked [works better with more people as it’s torpor drops very fast]
Build underwater taming penn using behemoth gate,rest of penn only need be 3 walls high with enough ceiling to keep in.Grab mosasaur with giant squid and carry to penn then place inside,jump off leaving squid to block then shut gates.Move squid out of harms way then tame.
This is crazy ! I manage to defeat an alpha mosa with mine, then I put it on passive and a manta comes along and fck’s it up
Taming mosas on mobile with soothing balm is really fun! Knocking it down Is simple put your mount above the line of how high it can go and you keep going down a little to get its attention then go back up and keep shooting, with raw meat and soothing balm it should tame quickly I tamed a level 11 in about 4 mins it goes up 9.9% each time for a level 11
When taking use 4 behemoth gate and 2 doors swim in there while it ls following get behind the door and slam it shut to trap it
If you play on mobile you get access to a thing called soothing balm, once you knock down a mosa feed it soothing balm and narcotics and give it raw meat if that's all you have
The easiest way I've found to trap them is to build a pen out of Behemoth Gate Frames about 10-12 long with doors on either side on the ocean floor. Happy Taming!
The AI sometimes gets confused for me and starts swimming around me not even trying to bite even though I’m shooting it and the battle music is playing.
Everybody says to going to the height limit is the easiest way but I will always say this time and time again, USE A SARCO!!! Sarcos are the best way to tame anything under water other than a tuso. They are fast, use no stam, arent the best tanks but can get the job done, and most importantly you can shoot as the rider. Of course a better saddle helps but when in trouble you can outswim anything in the ocean.
On maps like ragnarok to build a simple pen use 5-6 behemoth in a way like ur making a wyvern trap.Easy trapping use an ichy in place of ptera and boom golden.(bring mega or other damaging underwater dinos to clear the area of any predators
Put a 2 beds covered by foundations on the front and rear of your Mosa. Be careful to spawn on the right bed in emergency situations
