Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a mosasaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mosasaurus.
Things you need to tame a high level mosa
1:50 tranq arrows to be safe
2: 100 narcotics to be safe
3: 2 to 4 hours to find a high level
4: 10+ soothing balm if on mobile
5: best food you have to tame it
6: and a failed exam
That’s all
Me and wife found a 145 x mosa stuck. We got the taming boat to get it. Took almost 7 crossbows and 700+ tranq arrows. Only other person w mosa on the server caught a lvl 60 lol
There is crystal cave on Ragnarok around 12,23ish where you can trap the mosa, I use a ichy to trap them as they are small enuf to get in the sallow area but the mosa can’t so they get stuck👍... hope this helps
Bring an Itchyosaurus with you since they're pretty fast and things won't aggro it (at least on Mobile idk about PC/Console). Have a LOT of tranq/toxicant arrows, and search for your Mosa. When you find one, shoot it and let it follow you up to the surface.
Mosasaurs have a certain depth they need to be so they'll stop aggro when you reach a certain depth (near surface) and go ham with your special sleepy time ammo.
Make sure to watch its HP and Torpor so ALWAYS BRING A TELESCOPE WHEN TAMING ANYTHING! Don't kill the poor guy.
Give it some soothing balm if you can and feed it some prime fish and so on, use BIO Toxin to keep it asleep (you can get some from Cnardias probably nearby). Boom! You've got the Giga of the sea.. Sorta.
Hope this helps and good luck!
I've found that the easiest and fastest way to knock one out is to get its attention and swim through a gap in those large underwater stone formations,it will follow you and get stuck allowing you to shoot it as many times as needed
If you have the patience, grab it with a tuso and drag it to shallow water so it loses agro. Tuso grab slowly inflicts torpor so just sit there and prosper.
Get diplocaulus, level its weight a hell lot, when see mosa, dismount and shoot tranq arrows, maybe darts if possible, go up bcuz it does not go up in a certain height, there you go. (diplocaulus gives you inf oxygen when on mount)
Ok, for those of us people who cant seem to get any pearls for a tuso to simply grab on a mosa and wait it out then i have a solution. Down in the depths there is a cave on the ragnorok map. Some call it pearl cave or mushroom cave. Either name works. What i did was i mad a crap load of tranq arrows, took a journeyman crossbow and a 227 meg (not neccessary. You can have any level an icthy works too) and lured a mosa into this cave. When you enter there is a fork in the path. Take a right and you will notice that the land comes up where your meg can get through but the mosa can't. Camp there with your crossboe and tranq it. Stand on land so you dont waste the scuba tank. Once it runs it should run into the wall that is opposite from the middle island. After its out grabs some narcotic and meat. I reccommend setting up a little FOB or mini base at the cave beforehand so you are prepared. Wait it out and enjoy your new underwater giga!
Make your life easy and just make a trap. Using an itchy isn't worth it, it's dangerous and slow to knock out. Use a behemoth gate and make a massive box. Using stone doorframes, hatch frames and foundations. Can't really explain how to build it but you get the idea. Also the trap can be used infinitely so it's much better. Good luck with your mossa taming
Use a squid to bring it to the surface it doesn't attack when close to surface
It lives in the water, so why does it not like fish meat as much as raw meat???(confusion)
Take an ichy. Get your best xbow (I prefer xbow because it’s easier to shoot and hit target on the back of the ichy) circle the mosa firing away. The ichy is quick enough to dodge the bite. If you dodge a wrench you can dodge a mosa.
If it says that a helpful tip needs more words, just type spaces after the tip. They count as words. You're welcome
U should really tame this beast, it deals lot of damage after u tame it. For the location, go find it in the northern part of the map in mobile and tame this with a itchy
I tamed this in my rhynio on the island and boy was it kind of easy. I didn’t use a trap cause I’m too lazy to craft one I blew through 230ish tranqs for a 125 it didn’t rlly attack and usually I just went two feet closer to the surface and it would flee more and I got attack by a lieplireduon a bunch of pleasisaurs and a alpha mosa and eels. I got it out just now tame one it’s pretty fun!!!
The safest way to knock it out is to get a fast water mount and make four gigantic Dino gateways and trap them like an argy it’s very expensive but it’s the safest way
The X Mosa I just held with a squid for 48 mins was a 150 male. Was also on 3x if that makes any difference
Easy to tame. Have good armor to tank a couple hits if need be. The mosa has a BIG turn radius so just kill everything around one then set dino away and on passive. Then shoot the mosa and swim on its right or left side and stay close but not on it and it will just keep swimming around you in a circle. Even better if you have a tribemate on the other side to keep it confused. (Also oxygen helps with movement so worth getting up if taming a few)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!!!!! JUST KEEP FU**ING SWIMMING!!!
If you have a squid and a tribemate then it’s a piece of cake. First you grab it with a squid and swim up till the other mosas can’t get to you then you have your friend tranq it out while you’re holding it. If you’re lucky you can get it close to land and your friend can use tranq darts
