Tips & Strategies
Want to tame a Coelecanth | 100x? Look over here! Before we start, let's begin!
TAMING REQUIREMENTS:
-Taming Food (Kibble/ Meat, Soothing Balm if on Mobile)
NOTE: Mosas prefer meat of the raw category over fish (You can use mutton too).
-Knockout Weapon (Crossbow (Tranq/ Toxicant Arrows), Longneck (Tranq/ Shocking Tranq Darts) )
-Scuba Gear (Not needed but must follow method 2 if not worn)
-Narcotics/ Biotoxin
-Water Mount (Ichthy recommended)
Now, you're ready!
So, I would use these 3 methods for Mosas. Make sure to follow Method 2 if you did not bring scuba gear!
Method 1: TRAP
This method can be done by constructing a Argentavis trap (2 behemoth dino gateway, 2 dino gateway, 2 behemoth dino gate) and a small water mount (Recommended Ichthy) is required. Place the 2 normal gateways in a vertical position and add the Behemoth Gates to each side. Put both gates on both gateways on close off one side. Next, lure the Mosa in and swim out the gaps in between each gate with your mount. Quickly close off the opened side and boom! The Mosa is trapped. Begin the taming process and tame. Make sure to keep an eye on the torpor and feed it your narcotics/ biotoxin regularly, as it drains super fast!
Method 2: No Scuba Method
This method might be a little bit more tedious but it is very worth it as the method is extremely cheap without the need for gates and scuba. Get on your mount and lure the Mosa to a underwater RESOURCE cave, not the ARTIFACT caves. Lure it into the entrance and it should be stuck. Just shoot down the Mosa and go back up to the cave if you run low on Oxygen. Make sure to watch out when the Mosa torpor runs as it runs quite fast! After you have your Mosa knocked out, begin the taming process and welcome a new tame to your aquatic tame collection!
Method 3: The Cheaper Method
This method still requires scuba, but it does not require luring Mosas to caves. Wild Mosas have a certain limit they cannot swim across. Find that limit and park your mount above it. Swim under the limit to aggro and tranq and swim above the limit to de-aggro. Repeat this process and knock it out and tame!
Now that you have a Mosa, let's take a look at it:
Mosas are strong and tanky aquatic mounts, not to mention the decent speed. Their saddle is unlocked at 78. However, they have a platform saddle that is unlocke at 93. The normal saddle is pretty cheap for that level. The Mosa does not have any secondary attacks that I know of, only one downside which is that they are prone to electrocution effects, making it an unviable option for caves. However, they are great for underwater drop runs (Not in caves ofc), but be wary of the occasional electrocution.
That's all I had for this tip. Make sure to check out my other tips!

More Mosasaurus Taming & KO Tips
(MOBILE) Want an easy, very risk free and extremely fast way of knocking out one?
(I assume you said yes).
1. Get a speedy water mount, preferably a ichthy
2. Find your desired mosasaur
3. Find nearby ammonites.
4. Trigger ammonite rage
5. Get the mosasaur aggro’d on to you
6. Lead the mosasaur to shore, when you have rage, mosasaurs completely ignore their depth limits. If rage runs out, get rage again and continue from where you left off.
7. Once the mosasaur is near shore and very high up, essentially next the beach, lose your aggro on it by waiting for the rage to run out. Just make sure the mosasaur doesn’t leave the beach area.
8. The mosasaur is now stuck there, he cannot attack nor move because his pathfinding is broken and he cannot calculate where to go.
9. Knock out and tame your mosasaurus, should be hard to do either because you’re at the beach and the mosasaur can’t move.
10. Up this strategy because it’s easy and effective.
TIPP: Easy Taming
The Mosasaurus is a deepsea creature, that means you can easily knock him out with this Trick. (you should use a basilosaurus because of his health and the immunity effects)
1) Swimm down to the deepsea
2) Let the Mosa follow you up
3) If you swimm high enought he will stop chasing you
4) When he Stops chasing you, just shoot at him with tranqs (the higher your Crossbow damage the faster he gets knocked)
5) Repeat the first steps if he swimms too far away from you
6) knock him out and feed him some Quetzal Kibbel
7) Enjoy your Aquatic Giant
BONUS TIPP: He spawn around the carno Island and i would recommend to not go too far from your basilosaurus while shooting the Mosa Because you are f*cked if some eals appear and you cant mount your Basilo to kill them (He is immune to the Shocking effect)
~Madara Uchiha
It's says it takes 8 quetz kibble for a 150 mosa and 7 for a 145. I tamed a lvl 145 female mosa with 4 quetz kibble. Up for ark mobile players to see.
How to tame a Mosa!
8/10 Difficulty
First, let’s prepare!
Things Needed: Crossbow (Tranq arrow) or harpoon launcher (Tranq harpoon), trap materials (If using trapping method), itchy or tusotuethis (Depending on KO method), LOTS of narcotics or biotoxin (You can get biotoxin from the jellyfish when you knock it out so you don’t need to bring some immediately.
4 Methods
Method 1 - Trapping
Trap materials: 6x behemoth stone gateway, 2x behemoth gate.
Place the 6 gateways in a line somewhat far apart, make sure a Megalodon can fit through the gap. Then place the gates on each end of the trap, leaving one gate open and the other closed.
Recommended mount: Itchy as they are fast, but I would recommend putting points into health and speed
Find the mosa and get it to aggro on you. Now make it follow you into the open gateway in the trap. Swim out one of the gaps in the gates and then quickly close the open door.
Now shoot it with your tranq ammo of choice (Crossbow, Harpoon Launcher) until it’s kncked out.
Method 2 - Safari Style 1
Recommended mount: Itchy as you can shoot while riding it. Still put points into health and speed.
Find mosa and swim around it, following behind it while shooting it so you don’t get attacked. Repeat until KO’d.
Method 3 - Safari Style 2
Recommended mount: Itchy as you can shoot while riding it. Still put points into health and speed.
Shoot the mosa a couple times to aggro then swim up to the depth limit that the mosa can go. It can only swim up to a certain height until it starts to swim back down. While it swims back down shoot it until out of range then repeat until knocked out.
Method 4 - Tuso
Recommended mount: Tuso
Grab mosa with Tuso then dismount and shoot it. The Tuso will deal torpor with its ability while you shoot until it’s knocked out.
Utilities
The mosa is the Giga of the sea. It’s is very powerful and can be equipped with a platform saddle. If it goes above a certain depth it will start taking damage.

If you're going to kill the Alpha moder then tame this
JUST TAME A SQUID GRAB THE MOSA,DISMOUNT THE SQUID.....and put the Squid on passive I will no let go of the mosa.AND THEN THE SQUID WILL BE DOING TORPOR AND ALSO YOU CAN HARPOON IT OUT AND TAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!
Center tip: as they have added the mosa to the center I've found the easiest way to knock one out is find one close to the bubbles get its Agro and swim in the bubble the mosa will get stuck and it can't hit you. Also this gives you unlimited oxygen and sanctuary from being attacked by anything else. 🤘ðŸ¼
To tame a mosasaurus find a cave make a behemoth door put it out the cave and hit the mosasaurus with dart or any taming ammo
I tamed this guy with raw fish meat and it took at least seven ark days
Water giga, carries base, need I say more
