Swam down on my basilo and found an alpha.
He smiled at me
I smiled back
My basilo smiled too.
Then we got turned into minced meat
READ THIS FOR MAJOR MOBILE TAMING AND LOCATION TIPSWhen looking for a Mosa in ark mobile you need to run these two cave and farm the the Lava cave and the ice one these give crossbows and swimming gear then you get a dolphin (now what you have been waiting for) to find these with ease you need to kill the Plesiosaur and Leeds these actually clog up mosa spawns there mains spawns are behind herbi island and the artic ocean. The reason you farm the artifacts is they give you ascended gear so they last longer and the keep you warm ( I know this is not allowed but hit up so this goes out for mobile players because we need more help
To find a mosa it’s very easy on the island, just search around Carno island a you will find one if you don’t see it tidy save. I also recommend using a Bary to tame ⬆️Doot so more peeps can see
Anyone think this thing is terrifying
Wouldn’t recommend going near this thing
On the center map Mosa trench is at 65 45. You're welcome. I learned the hard way.
I’ve spent like 2 days searching for this and it’s like all Mosasaurus are extinct
A good way of looking for these things (mobile): sweep the border of the map and the ocean floor, using an ichthy to keep everything away. Once you find one, park your ichthy somewhere, then swim up to the depth limit of the mosa (you might have to test where it is though, be careful, mosas can swim up FAST). Being off the ichthy will catch its attention. Swimming up to the depth limit will cause it to Aggro off of you, so go back and forth with going to its depth limit, attracting it, and swimming back up to fill it with tranqs. The basic idea is attract, swim up, fill with tranqs, repeat. Hope this helps!
When I saw frst mosasaurus i waz goin to tame it so I just saw one the day I mate the tip
alpha mosa is more common than regular mosa lol
Close you eyes and count to ten, or swim upwards
Hi,
I have actually killed a level 20 alpha mosa, starting the fight at mid-health, without having scuba gear and only with the help of an ichtyosaur.
So basically, some few facts you need to know about mosas in general is that they have a really wide turning circle, meaning it is very hard for them to do a 180° turn. Also, I think you all know this but they all stay in the depths, they can’t go any higher than a certain depth. Alpha mosas actually regenerate their health quite slowly.
It wasn’t actually that hard: I just needed to constantly hit it on its back with my ichtyosaur. When it will try to bite you, it will have to do a 180° turn, so it won’t be able to fight I back as long as you’re hitting it on its back. Whatever happens, try to stay away from its mouth: you can easily outrun it because ichtyosaurs are really fast so be careful because you might come too close from the mouth. It surprisingly doesn’t do as much health as I thought it would do, but don’t underestimate this fishy boi’s jaws power. If you do everything correctly, you should take all the 60k hp in around 10 mins.
If you’re not a high level player like me, playing in solo, and so you don’t have scuba equipment, don’t forget to breathe: it may seem obvious but drowning is actually the thing that dealt me the most damage, and I actually had to use backups around 3 times.
Also be careful of the night: it is actually hard to see where is it’s head and where is its tail during nighttime so don’t be dumb like me and don’t accidentally stumble on its jaws. By the way it’s freezing cold in the depths during the night so don’t die of hypothermia.
I was playing on mobile, so nothing actually attacks ichtyosaurs, so the only thing that will try to kill you is the alpha mosa.
The most important thing is to stay concentrated on both your oxygen bar and the position of its head.
Well, this is how I actually defeated my first alpha mosa, I hope this was useful ^^
Imagine like being the ultimate underwater apex predator and a weird looking fish riding a dolphin swims towards you and bites you for 10 minutes straight until you die
I was trying to find one (The Island, I'm in Mobile) and I suddenly got in a part where there was a dunkleosteus, a leedsichthys an alpha mosa and a normal mosa all together. I tried to tame the normal one but his torpor was resetting EXTREMELY FASTTT. Obviously I surrendered lol.
First of all it’s a massive fish, second of all WHERE DID IT JUST GO
The giga of the sea can be fond at the bottom of the sea
If u find an alpha mosa u can kill it for black pearls
For low level mobile players, you can attack alpha mosa or the regular one using your itchy and it won't aggro back on you.
Just don't use arrows or sword in attacking as it will attack you back even when riding itchy. Just use your itchy to kill alpha mosa, you'll be safe. DON'T GET OFF ITCHY.
Bring a lot of food for itchy, attacking will hunger them.
Also, don't attack mosa near its mouth especially when it's trapped in rocks or caves as it will bite those in the way.
I just did this 10 mins ago. Single player. Mobile. I now have 100 black pearls. Next goal is TUSO.
I easily kill them with my sarco and spino as you can out maneuver them. I can only seem to find low levels and some times with packs of anglers and pleassys. Watch out for an alpha mosa though
An easier way is go on a itchy and find the nearest ammonite and hit it and them go slowly with the rage effect until you find one and yes i know a lot of sea creature will come so be carful when you do it (maybe you can find a squid like i did)
I was riding on my Sarco in the ocean coming back to my base from Herbivore Island and I decided to dive down to the bottom of the ocean quickly because I can. I almost got to the bottom when I saw a Mosasaurus swimming around and I freaked out and went right back to the surface of the ocean and swore not to go back down there ever again because I don’t wanna die.
