Tamed a 85 on 3x thought 10 kibble was enough but it wasn’t. 15 kibble did the trick. Hopefully this helps.

Recommended, bring a good defense dino that you can use to protect your dolphins, and bring atleast two dolphins more dolphins gives you more time to play mini game.

You can get away with 3 floors inside. I sued 3 wide foundation from front to back. The front allows 2-levels while the back near the entrance is only tall enough for 2 floors. If you are like me and love platform bases. This one's one of the best. Awesome views, decent space and building the foundations was incredibly easy. It's seems to board players and tames to specific areas so id avoid this feature if you intend to build a base. Or don't build a large interior if you intend to store dinos. Which while I'm talking about it. Tames glitch out when the sub clips into the terrain, so best to leave tames in their cryos or simply leave them home🙂

Have to have a dolphin tamed to bring the Shasta to the surface. Once at the surface you can start the mini game to remove leeches from the Shasta with a sickle. After removing the leeches you can feed it (kibble recommended). Rinse and repeat this cycle until it is tamed.

Very slow with slow but strong attacks. It has a repulsion blast to keep enemies away, but it still gets swarmed. Bring a few Megalodon or Xiphactinus to act as bodyguards

Infinite durability scuba.

I was running snow north on a server I play on, but realized I forgot my scuba. Had a Shasta and ichthy on me. Swam with ichthy fora few minutes, threw out Shasta, got in regenerated oxygen, got out, cryoed, got on ichthy and repeated.

This dinosaur work like a submarine and it doesn't need a saddle you can put medium size dinos inside it 👍

1 point   🥚 Taming & KO   Sep 27, 2023   Report

By one picture I saw it can carry you like a submarine and can store dinos like thezonisoris ,maybe carnto,alasaurus,ect.and I think it'll be good for center for sure,and name idea big chungissub

I don’t see this mentioned, you have to be ALONE with it to get it to tame properly.

If you’re duo taming your mate needs to be out of render otherwise it can screw with the minigame. Only one person can trigger it and scrape. If you’re not the one who triggered it you’ll just hit the Shasta and it will reset the minigame & affect effectiveness. Also, hitting it doesn’t drop it to 0% as of 6/23. Just tamed one today.

You can build a mini mobile base with outside turrets on it on increased weight servers

Give it a chin scratch a pat on the back and it’s yours

-3 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 15, 2024   Report

Only tames with kibble. You can't tame it with anything else.

15 extraordinary kibble for 3x weekends. If you run into the same issue I did which is not being able to hit the leeches off glitch. What I found that worked is hopping off the itchy just before the mini game starts and swimming quick to the leeches and swinging fast like crazy. Not sure if this will help but worth a try. When in doubt never give up. Took me a while because of this glitch, but slowly you'll eventually tame shasta. Like if this helped you.
