Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mosasaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mosasaurus.
If you have the patience then all you need to do is grab it with a squid, drag it to the surface and wait
For the people vote for this
no scuba gear or any traps but underwater cave allowed but no traps
have an ichy or diplocaulus
ichy:all wild creatures will ignore you if your riding ichy
diplocaulus: help stay you longer in underwater but need less weight
have an acendant crossbow with alot of trand arrows
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!
Taming tip:
1. Bring kibble btw kibble amount is inacurate for mobile you wil probably need less kibble
2. Bring basilosaurus
3.bring armor(helm hands leggings)
4.bring flipers
Now for tactic find mosa on a basilosaurus and let it aggro on basi when its agrroved dismount get a bit of distance and start tranqing when it starts to flee persu it and shoot when its ko d watch for its torpor and its surounding
Note(when dissmounting you are in danger thats why you need your best armor and make sure everything is aggroed on basi basi shoud be able to take most things with ease)
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
I just trapped a lvl.19 mosa with just 2 stone behemoth gates and 2 stone behemoth gates just put them a bit close to each other where ur Icthy can fit in a lil big sides and now u can KO the mosa with ur crossbow with trank arrows or with bio arrows which bio arrows are better I am taming the mosa in the time and date 6:18 PM Friday October 2nt
How to tame a Mosa
Step 1 : tame a semi aquatic dino ( I recommend taming a Beelzebufo or a sarco)
Step 2 : get the Mosa,s attention to aggro you
Step 3 : bring him near the shores
Step 4 : shoot it with tranq arrows
Step 5 : feed it raw prime meat/ prime fish meat
Bam there you go you got yourself a living boat
You can also tame him with a diving suit and a harpoon (narko speer )
It's actually quite easy to tame, the difficulty for me is actually 4/10.
Find a mosa, usually spawns around Carno Island (Aka The Dead Island), if you can't find one, tidy save but if not kill some leeds and plesios because these are actually the creatures that take the points for a mosa spawn.
Find an nearby ammonite and attack it and then get the mosa to aggro on you and go up to the shallow waters. After the ammonite rage has ended the mosa will still follow you for a while bit eventually it'll stop chasing you and will be stuck due to it passing its barrier. Shoot tranqulizers at it and when its' knocked out feed it narotics/bio toxins and feed it its taming foods (Recommended using a sooting balm and its preferred kibble) . Wait for a while and you'll get it! Goodluck!
Its pretty easy with an icthy and cooked fish meat if yk what i mean
Is it just me or all of the mosa in my solo server is extinct? I went all the way to carno island but didn't find one. Where's the easiest place to find a wild mosa? Please help me, So I can get my aquatic giant. Thanks 😊
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
I use my basilo as bait as it only attacks him and i can pelt him with arrows.
(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.
5 behemoth gateways, one stone gateway door, 18 stone pillars and you have a sweet trap
You can pretty easily just swim in circles and shoot tranqs in to it.
If you’re planning on taming one of these, don’t do it behind the snow biome unless you have a lot of bio toxin (preferably a stack or two just in case, depends on the lvl.) and make sure to have a swift mount that can dodge the attacks of the said Moss, such as a plesiosaur or something faster. If you do happen to knock one out in the snow biome ocean I suggest you go up for air and wait for 30 secs, (and for health) then go down and wait for 30 more seconds and feed it bio toxin. Keep doing this until it is tamed, Usually his strategy works.
Happy taming! :) Hoped this helped.
All you need to tame this is a dolphin, a good crossbow and a lot of tranqs, a lot of narcotics, a scuba tank, prime meat or kibble, and good armor since water is usually freezing at low depths.
You find this near the border of the world deep in oceans.

This guy consumes a TON of narcotics and super quickly. Be sure to bring hundreds of narcotics with you. A sarco works really well to knock it out since you can shoot a crossbow on its back.
