Tips & Strategies

My trusty sarcosuchus made knocking my plesi exceedingly simple, for three reasons. The sarco is fast, it ascends quickly, and you can shoot from its back. Once I separated my plesiosaur from her friend and killed it, the procedure was simple. When the plesi reaches a certain height it begins to flee. I dragged her up then filled her with tranqs until she aggro'd again. Repeat process until unconscious. Simple with sarco.

It's like a fish but bigger
Plesiosaurs are the quetzals of the ocean change my mind
There is a glitch at the redwood on the center, where plesiosaurs will spawn really near the coast and whole groups of 2 or 3 are glitched in the water, meaning you can knock out multiple plesiosaurs at the time.
Taming one is not too difficult. A high level wonβt take too many tranq to knock out. When itβs knocked out, feeding it a soothing balm will allow u to tame it quickly, even with regular raw meat. Donβt forget to separate the plesiosaur u want from others in the area. Good luck!
(Like if this helps)
After tamed, you can grapple onto them while a tribmate drives it and easily tame more large water mounts. If you are about to touch a structure or terrain, crouch to take off the hook or you will die instantly and your body will fly across the map
These guys are great and super fast and also very strong. Warning when your gonna go tame these guys bring a sarco or an icthy , they also spawn In 2,s or 3,s so be careful because these guys do a crap ton of damage .
The trick to ko these guys is to wait for them to agro you, once they're close enough, swim up and backwards until you've reached their swim limit and shoot them as many times as possible. When they lose interest, just do the same trick and eventually you'll knock it out
There is an invisible barrier at a certain depth that the plesis will not cross, you can drag them up to this and shoot them till they deagro, when they do reagro and repeat until their knocked out. Also, you can drag them to the entrance of an underwater cave, and shoot the plesi, as long as you dont venture too far into the cave, it will not deagro.
If trained well, they can be really good for looting deep sea crates, as well as visiting underwater caves
Always 2 near the east bubble under north tropical (the center)
