More Mosasaurus Taming & KO Tips
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)

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.

There are few ways to tame this sea giga. Let me explain them all:
1. Just damn battling: Get a fast water mount and literally kite Mosa as you smack its face with your torpor weapon.
2. Trapping: You need to create a trap like a cell. Get a Benemoth dino gateway and a gate, some foundations, and pillars that Mosa can’t go through. Make it follow you into the cage, then get out from the gap that pillars created and shut the door. After that, knock it out and feed it.
3. (and also my favorite) Ammonite Strategy:
Punch an ammonite. It will give you the rage debuff and every creature will chase you down, including the Mosasaurus. So the Mosasaur has a limit on depth. What i mean is that it can’t go higher than a set limit, since it’s a deepsea creature. But when the rage is on, it will ignore the limit and follow you even to shallows. Get out of the water and wait until your rage wears off. The Mosasaur won’t be able to move since it has broken it’s limits and can’t go back. Hit it with your torpor weapon and knock it out.
4. Going Up and Down:
As i mentioned earlier, the Mosasaur has a set limit on depth. Hit the Mosasaur, then let it swim up to you, of course swim away whilst doing that, also hit it while you’re swimming away. After it has reached the limits, it will stop chasing you. When it does, go deeper and hit it again. Go this couple of times until it gets knocked out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t forget to kill the surrounding creatures like Plesiosaurs, Tusos, Electropus and Anglers since it can attack you and ruin the taming.
Thanks for reading and good luck Survivors!
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.
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
On mobile they can be found in deep water around carno island herb island and artic ocean then you pretty much need a water mount dolphins plesiosaur’s or megladons are recommended and you need sucba gear or else you will drown they have a shallow limit so tranq it and it will chase you untill shallow limit then it will not go shallower if it swims back down do the same thing agian keep doing this until it’s knocked out then prime fish works best but normal prime meat will work too and bring around 300 or 400 bio toxin or narcotics depending what level it is then wait a bit and done congrats
I tamed this guy with raw fish meat and it took at least seven ark days
Hi, today i tamed my firt Mossasaurus and heres how you can to. I used the anmomite rage efekt to lure the mosasaurus to a island, and then just shot it with a crossbow you can shot it with darts but I forgot mine, anyway you can use prime meat or pirme fish meat. i used bio toxin to keep it a sleep it works really well. I tamed mine and im only level 60, anyway hope
