What are tips for mosasaurus? Tips and strategies for mosasaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Water giga, carries base, need I say more
I very recommend finding a good crossbow first a journey or higher
If you have 300+ oxygen they are relatively easy. Take advantage of their bad turn radius and stick close to their tail to KO.
DONT FIGHT JELLYFISH WITH THESE I made this mistake and my 261 mosa died.
Here is how to tame this guy, prepare lots of tranq arrows in a crossbow, then build a simple trap that works or if you wanna save resources, you can shoot it from an underwater resource cave or do it like a bronto as they are pretty slow. Once it's knocked out put narcotics or in it's inventory and exceptional kibble which worked best for me and you will have to wait. Once it's finished taming you can either slap a saddle or a platform saddle on and bam you have the giga of the ocean
When I found a low level 4 more spawned with 1 being alpha and it was level 100 with 164,375 hp and I was on the easy preset
Not sure if its just my game on ps5 but just in case, I finally found a Mosasaurus, and then a few more. All of them were trapped in underwater rocks. I could only see the tail or their smiles. Just a tip if you're having trouble finding them. Since already trapped, I just tranq'd and used cryo to take them with me. Hope it helps.
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!
i tamed a lvl 145 x mosa with 600 arrows and 6.5 crossbows today
I tamed one with a mastercraft crossbow and about 5-10 tranq arrows and around 90-100 bio toxin and some prime fish meat but it was only a level 15 or 16 use a bronto or a good berry harvester and just kill a Rex or something fro prime meat that spoils pretty fast I just killed an alpha raptor and then tame something like an archelon for bio toxin and then just tranq it out and give it extraordinary kibble, raw prime meat, or raw fish meat (regular fish meat and regular meat works too but it is not good and only does 8% taming) and then you have a mosasaurus.
Close you eyes and count to ten, or swim upwards
Giga but in water, you see , you run
