Tips & Strategies

To the guy from December 2020 whom talked about the no air pursuits
Get it right, man
A no air is hard without cheese (cheese strat at the end of this)
B lazarous chowder isn’t good. Scuba tanks are waaaay to easy to get at the point you unlock the pursuit. (Around lvl 75)
C it isn’t always mastercraft it depends on difficulty you we’re lucky enough to get a mastercraft on easy or medium.
Cheese: make a bed at one of the underwater caves, then put all your stuff in a chest or box, after, kill yourself or teleport to the bed, once your there, you may want to swim a little further. And boom your done. (Maybe teleport a strong or fast water mount down to you, are if your in multiplayer, teleport a sarco, Baryonyx, spino, or diplocaticous down to the bed.)
More Plesiosaur Taming & KO Tips
It's like a fish but bigger
The person who tamed a plesiosaur with a Sarco….you seem like my kind of person🙂 #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
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 brave😭
Taming one is not too difficult. A high level won’t take too many tranq to knock out. When it’s knocked out, feeding it a soothing balm will allow u to tame it quickly, even with regular raw meat. Don’t forget to separate the plesiosaur u want from others in the area. Good luck!
(Like if this helps)
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.
Try to get on a fast taim. They will flee when they are nearly asleep. And they are fast.
Like this for others.
