Utility Tips

What is a mosasaurus used for? mosasaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These fat sea gigas need a tlc, the looks are good but it has such bad mobility it can barely turn and it doesn’t have any buffs or resistance to anything, I would like to see in a tlc, fresh looks, better mobility especially that Turning, and some more damage to make if feel like the king of the sea like it should, and some dam resistances, like the basilos
With the platform saddle you can put turrets and all the stuff you really need for an base I tamed an high level one built and dome shaped base with turrets on top of it and used it for the underwater caves and melted quite an lot of Krakens and other nasty stuff ,since I also had my Frabicator I also could reload the turrets easy as well. Mind you make sure you use metal or higher since anything below would probably break after you get attacked by anything bigger then an megalodon.
Prime Meat Gathering (In My world) tip (Ocean edition):
1. Get a mosa, and get its platform saddle.
2. Build a base with all useful things, including an industrial griller (If want cooked, please bring gasolines) or preserving bin (If want raw, please bring sparkpowders).
3. Pair it with a basilo/tuso and go to the deep sea.
4. Command your team to attack enemies tgat drops prime meat upon death, assist them by riding your mosa and attack, the higher the level, the stronger and tankier it is and better.
5. Gather your fallen enemies' corpses (Recommended using mosa)
6. If you want it cooked then turn on industrial griller (Tip: If you run out of gasoline you can collect oil from your basilo/tuso and refine them)
And If you want it raw then use preserving bin (Bring many sparkpowders)
7. Enjoy your prime meat :)
You're welcome. No need to like tip :)

How to get a high quality mosa saddle/mosa platform saddle on mobile:
Head into the yeti cave (tame one of the wolves in the cave to do this). In one of the big rooms there are multiple snow covered platforms. On one of the platforms is a red cave drop, and the loot of this drop includes mosa saddles and mosa platform saddles. I ran the cave ~100 times and I got 4 mosa platform saddles (1 journeyman 3 ascendent) and 2 mastercraft mosa saddles but I don’t even have a mosa lol.
very useful to hunt drops on, only issue is jellyfish dismount you and will kill it. in my opinion it's better to use a squid they have more health and the melee is just as good. until wildcard stops jellyfish hitting this thing it's a risk your loose it to a lagging render field.
