guide on how to tame a plesiosaur: I used my 20 k basilo for this, so go up until the plesio stops aggro, if it doesnt aggro after a certain depth. thats perfect, now all you need to to is go a little bit deeper next to the plesio, whistle my 20 k health tame and let it soak. now i used my basilo because of its regen, so it will stay alive for years. anyways, i shot it with my ascendant BOW instead of crossbow because since the basilo is tanking the hits, its distracting the plesiosaur. So I dont really need to move, then i sucked more oxygen from the diplocaulus and kept shooting and finally the plesio swam away, then a few moments later it gets knocked out and boom. you got a plesio ;) (I also used a taming balm, rex kibble because im mobile, and some prime meat and fish meat)

The person who tamed a plesiosaur with a Sarcoβ¦.you seem like my kind of personπ #SARCOS RULE
-Sarco master
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.
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.
The trick is to argo one, have him chase you into an underwater cave where he will not be able to fit through the door but his long neck and head does. when you do this he will not de-agro, you can then get a clear shot from the cave with a bow and tranq arrows
The Island Map: Seems to be one or two (or a Mosa) stuck in a rock just south of Herbivore island (almost directly up against the map border). Two will be stuck....kill one, tranq the other. When it goes to flee (almost at ko) just wait (literally 10 ish seconds) and it will settle and poke it's head back out of the rock again .... co ntinue to tranq until ko. Head will land outside rock. Tame with kibble and Cryo it once tamed to remove it from rock. Have MANY Mosa's and Plesi's this way.
Plesiosaurs are the quetzals of the ocean change my mind
Always spawn in packs of 2-3 keep that in mind while looking for them Rip my little itchy you were braveπ
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)
Try to get on a fast taim. They will flee when they are nearly asleep. And they are fast.
Like this for others.
