It's like a fish but bigger

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

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.

For Ark Mobile: get urself a basilosaurus if u can't unlock the scuba set. Find it and then stay a little bit away from it and it can be done easily with tranquilo arrows and a crossbow. Get some Rex kibble or meat

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

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

Since a certain update, you can no longer get the plesiosaur to chase you up until it can't reach. When it can't chase you anymore, it will run away every time. Bring a dunk and let it munch on it against a wall. Especially on Ragnarok, the ocean is very open on there.

Always 2 near the east bubble under north tropical (the center)

If you're taming a level 97 with raw prime, you're gonna need about tree fiddy narcotics.

If you have flippers on float up if they try to bite you they'll miss 80% of the time because they're stupid

Mostly found near underwater caves in groups of 2 or 3

A beast of burden to the ocean as the bronto is to land, the plesiosaur can open many opportunities to the ocean. A good carry weight and large platform make it able to carry loads across the sea, or mobilize your naval superiority against your foes.

A lvl 80 plesi cannot take on mantas.I found out the hard way

I ride a sarco around and found there's a dept limit they would NEVER cross. I shot one up with tranq and it just sat there. Aren't these the dinos that breath air anyway?

So, you wanna get a lot of traq harpoons and go up near the surface. Whatever you do, DON’T GET OFF YOUR TAME!!!

There’s one underwater cave that higher then normal animals. The devs made it so you
Can’t tame any on the animals in this cave so no one would farm it like crazy. Also if a animal is over level 150 it is untamable.

Please vote this up so more people can know.

If you're looking to tame one of these, it'll be interesting. Have a fast and strong megalodon to ride on so you can get around fast (or a manta/itchy). They can't go up much because of a sea barrier keep that in mind. Use that to your advantage! Tranq arrow it (bring a spare bow if using normal gear) and make sure you watch your oxygen levels.
