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😭

It's like a fish but bigger

How to tame on mobile

Optional: Get soothing balm. It’ll make taming go a lot quicker, but it’s not necessary.

Step 1: Get crossbow, tranq/toxicant arrows and narcotics/biotoxin.

Step 2: Ride a basilo and find a plesiosaur.

Step 3: Get plesiosaur to chase you until it reaches depth limit and stops. Continue to surface and kill any eels/megs that may’ve followed you.

Step 4: Dismount basilo and shoot plesiosaur until unconscious. You should be able to shoot it without going too deep.

Step 5: Feed that sucker meat and narcotics until it loves you

Congrats, you have a plesiosaur. Enjoy

Some one said there are no under water caves but I have seen about 7 out of 12 caves just wanted to let u know

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.

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 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

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.)

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 .

They can't fit through the resource caves' entrances. Just lure it into one and pull out your crossbow/harpoon gun for the knock out. Just be aware of any nearby megalodons, as they can fit into the cave easily and ruin your swimming session.

I found a level 51 plessi near herbivore island and lured it to shore then knocked it out and boom now I got a high level plessi (but jellyfish still scare me when riding it)(it died :(

The weakness of plesiosaur is the depth limit. Use it to tame it.this also work for mosasaurs. Scuba tank and flipper recommended

Writing this right after taming one.

Build 4 behemoth gates in an open safe-ish area on the ocean floor with one gate at either end. Open one gate, make sure you have room to swim in between the gates with an Ichthy. Have the plesio follow you through, swim behind and close the gate. Tranq, feed, tame. Easy.

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

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)

Trapping- it's a 3 for 1 trap. Trap will work for plesio, moss, Squid. 4 sides of behemoth gates. 4 corner inside trap with pillars higher than gate. 3 Celling on each pillars going center of trap. So only a small gap in center. Now take a small angler or ichy or shark. Lure dinos in and get out from top and close door.

Voilà.

Early game taming trap for big water dino. Now your problem is getting it tamed after that. They take a lot of ressources to tame.

I would suggest plesio and kill other stuff with it like alpha to get black pearls and Lure squid in same trap.

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
