Tips & Strategies
I was traveling on willie, my basilo, to get some more oil. Whilst avoiding those stupid eels, one of these bad boys rose from the depths and chased me. I checked the app, and apparently they eat Rex kibble. I had two of those and a soothing balm from the Artifact of the Hunter, so I went. I used the scuba tank that I got from my outpost, grabbed my bow (323% confound bow from a free shop gift) and 28 toxicant arrows. I missed a few, but it only took 4 arrows to take out. Popped in the kibble and balm, and she was mine. A level 11 only took 1 piece (its reaaal). I named her Nessy, and now I have my first good deep-sea tame!

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.
Plesiosaurs are the quetzals of the ocean change my mind
Whoever said they are resistant to shock is lying my plesiosaur got stunned. I think I did less damage but I’m not entirely sure. But it’s not immune to shock. That’s for sure.
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
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)
If you want to tame one I recommend using a icthy because I tamed one by using it. If you are try to pump up its stamina and speed. But obviously if your not like your a sarco master like me🐊🐊 you can use that. Use a crossbow and tranq darts or toxiant arrows because it reloads faster and guns don’t work underwater. Trust me I tried it. It didn’t turn out well. After like 20 tranq arrows it will be unconscious then get somewhere near 10 raw prime meat and BOOM!! You have a plesiosaur /\ if this helped
