Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a mosasaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mosasaurus.
Squids the way to tame this take it high and just afk
So you want to tame a mosa??? You came to the right place! What you must have
Mastercraft plesiosaur saddle
Plesiosaur
Toxicants arrow
Crossbows
Pro tip compound bow
Plesiosaur saddle free for doing no air pursuit!! Freee
next go around the map a couple times do a tidy save if you can't find one before you explore the plesiosaur cannot be knocked out from jelly fish and dumb eels
Last time I found level 6 moss to bad my toxicants arrows were out :(
... time to do it again
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
Easy way to tame on mobile (without a trap):
-Get a high lvl ichthyosaurs
-Lvl up movement speed
-Get scuba gear, a good crossbow, and a lot of tranqs
-Shoot at the mosa while staying on your ichthyosaurs
-Every time the mosa gets close, just swim and it won’t hit you
The good thing about using an ichthy is that nothing will agro on you besides the mosa
You can also use the same technique on basically any knock out tame in the ocean
If you have the patience then all you need to do is grab it with a squid, drag it to the surface and wait
Tame some use less creatures and feed to mosa and stay relaxed and feel free to knock it out
WARNING KEEP ALL CREATURE S IN PASSIVE AND ALSO HAVE A GET A WAY RIDE IF IT AGRO ON YOU OR TRYS TO KILL YOU AFTER KILLING ALL OTHERS
I PREFER BASILO FOR THE USELESS PART CAUSE THEY HAVE MORE HEALTH AND ITS PASSIVE TAME if you want any creature is ok
I'd recommend you go with a giant squid to tame them because you can grab them also the basaileosaurus is not the guy to tame this guy in genesis becuase x_mosasaurs they are at a low depth the basaileosaurus can go only a specific depth till it starts to take damage. Also if you dont use a squid make a trap a 2×2 beheamothgate with some gateways in them only put a gateway in the back when the mosasaur is in there
Can pick up wit squid , on my 3rd mossa tame now
X-Mosasaurus get 60% damage resistance.So you need to prepare 2.5 times of tranqs items to knock down it.
There is only one way to tame it in PC version but Mobile version have two ways. First way, Go with Basilo or Itchy and tranq it in the ocean. I suggest Basilo because Electrophorus can stun you and ruin your adventure. Must take Scuba with you.
Second way, This is only for mobile players.You must have a Revival platform. First kill the mosasaur by your strongest water Mount. Don't harvest the body and take the Implant from it. Then place the Revival platform in water which must be deep enough otherwise your mosa will resurrect in Air and get killed instantly.
Heres how me and a friend of mine tamed it (you can also do this by yourself). Make a bird cage trap made out of stone as they dont damage stone structures. When its trapped, just tranq it with the weapon of your choice.
To make a bird cage trap, youll be needing 4-5 Behemoth Stone Dinasaur Gateway, 1 Reinforced Behemoth Gate, and a couple of stone pillars.
1st, decide on where you want to place the trap, I recommend to place it at the bottom of the ocean.
2nd, place the 1st gateway and put the 2nd in front of it, and so on. Make sure to make a little gap in each of them.
3rd, place your gate at the one end of the trap and the pillars on the other end. Make the gap of the pillars wide enough that an Itchy can slip through.
4th, luring the Mosa to your trap, I suggest to use an Itchy. Grab its attention and lure it to the trap, before you do this make sure the gate is open, just go right inside the trap while its chasing you, exit through the back end of the trap. Trap it, Tranq!
HEADS UP on my server it took 2000 spear nolts and 2 and a half hours to tame a 348 mosa
Step 1: Go to genesis part 2.
Step 2: In the eden zone, find a way into the underwater area that isn't the tek trench.
Step 3: Use your suit to fly around the ocean and find a decent mosa.
Step 4: Lead the mosa out through the place you came. If necessary, hover above the ocean in an air pocket and shoot at sharks, tusos, etc
Step 5: Lead mosa out of the ocean fully, and hover above the water to shoot it with darts.
Step 6: Load that bad boy or girl with mutton.
Step 7: Enjoy your easy mosa.
HIT AN AMMONITE THATS NEAR A MOSA AND LURE THE MOSA TO THE TOP OF THE SEA! IT CAN GO THROUGH THE BARRIER IT NORMALLY CANT GO THROUGH THEN IT GETS STUCK SO ITS EASY FOR YOU TO KNOCK OUT
If your In genesis 1 and you are fighting a x mosa bring about 2000 shocking tranq darts
(Tip they spawn at the ocean)
Get a tuso and grab him and drag him to surface. He will try to run because your so high up but that fine just re grab him. Then get him beached, in a trap or stuck in some rocks and there you go.
(Rip for taming on ragnarok)
Lure him into the underwater cave, once there hop out of the water and shoot away, just be sure to follow him if he tries to swim away, if possible place a behemoth gate behind him when he swims in so he can’t leave.
Hope this helps😊
If your on mobile please use soothing balms, otherwise it will be the most tedious thing ever.
I recommend a trap. Make it out of foundations, pillars, ceilings and a behemoth gate all in stone. Use an icthy with levelled speed and health to lure it in and close the gate behind it. Then simply tranq arrow it until it’s down. Preferably use at least an apprentice crossbow, prim will take way to long
