Wenever taming a mosasaurs drag it to the serface and give it prime fish meat or regular prime meat
It says in the Dododex did harpoon and training won’t work. I have teamed on mosasaur with one but it did take a lot of spears I believe close to 120. I think it’s a level was somewhere around 150 but I can’t remember exactly. I am about to go through this process again because I lost my last one getting tuso, they both died😭
Unconventional taming method of the day
If you have a tuso and find one near herbivore island or another place with a loch of some kind, use the tuso to force the mosa into the barricaded shallow water. The AI will spaz out completely and it will try to flee, but block the entrance with your tuso and it won't be able to escape.
Easiest way to tame is to place 5 stone behemoth gates and lure him in. Use a balm and quetzal kibble or you will be in for along wait.
Does any one know if a level 270 can b tamed found one in the northwest artifact cave wondering if I'm wasting my time btw you can trap these guys just like arges with reinforced behemoth gates 5-6 and 2 gates at the ends should do nicely
Can you guys tell me where is my mosasaurs lives I will make there be a Tek satellite
Get Tek armour and a tek bow then you find a. Mosasaurs then enjoy
Up for some more tips
I almost went unconscious with rage taming one on genesis go ahead and tame one, I DARE YOU...
If you're looking for an alpha mosa (for 100 black pearls), kill those regular ones if you find them. There's a fair chance an alpha mosa will spawn.
I spent 2 days circling around the island but no alpha mosa. I decided to kill those regular ones while on my way back to base, and there she is an alpha mosa right in front of my base.
I used itchy to kill it. My itchy was 300 health, while the mosa was 54k. It took me 1 ark day.
To TUSO: I'm coming for you bae😍
When you are taming the mosasaur there is a cave underwater somewhere at an underwater explorer note on the island with lots of oil and silica pearls it has an air pocket as well so you can tame a mosasaur but you can tame plesiosaurs there to
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!
Previous tip: How to tame a Spino
-Your average ARK Mobile player :))
as if the huge amount of torpor needed to knock it out wasn't enough, its preferred kible is the quetzal one... how convenient
If u tame a tuso just pick it up bring it to shore and shoot it with darts
In my opinion Barrys, kapros, sarcos are the best way to tame these guys. As you can pull out weapons while mounted you can sit there above the mosa’s height limit and shoot it without having to dismount. This also works for plesiosaurs
I found an alpha of herbivore island in the south
When I was going to tame a giant sqiud I seen a level 513 on console but when I knocked it out it didn't let me tame it I was so sad😭
Grab with squid and drag to surface for easy tranq darting and tame out. I use abandoned island beside skull on Center
The mosasaur is without a doubt the hardest dinosaur to knock out in the game, hits will only register when very close to it. The easiest way to knock it out without getting it stuck, is to aggrieved it and bring it as far up as it can go, and then continuously lead it up there, it won't attack you at that point and you can tranq it pretty easily
Just Tame A Tusoteuthis And Drag It Up To The Surface Cause If Not Je Will Continue To Attack But Once You Get Him Up Above There Spawn Hight He Will No Longer Attack But If You Let Him Go He Will Swim Down To The Bottom Of The Sea And Yes This Method Takes Longer Than A Harpoon Gun With Tranqa It Is Safer And Is Not As Exspinsive. I Hope This Helped You Out :)
