Tips & Strategies
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.

Bring a dolphin so it follows you, bring it to the top of ocean, mini game time use sickle an remove leachs in a timely fashion then feed it wait an do it again etc (Looks like it's a kibble tame exceptional or extraordinary it's like a bronto takes a while.
Level 100 saddle an has to be made in Tek rep
It will be a passive tame, you go up to it with a pack of ichthyosaurs and scrape barnacles off its belly.
Tamed a lvl 140 on official servers x2 event,
Dododex estimated 22 extraordinary kibble, i used 30. Come prepared.
According to the dossier, now available on Discord, the method of taming is as follows. This hulking leviathan is a passive tame, however, to initiate the taming process you need a βschoolβ of Ichthyosaurs ( youβll need a certain number of Ichtys to create the βschoolβ), these will act as a distraction that enables you to do the next stage. Next, using a sickle, you swim to barnacle nodes on the Shastasaurus and harvest them. Assumably (since it doesnβt sate otherwise in the dossier) you have to repeat this several times.
Itβs 4x rate, and trying to tame a Shasta and had to use 15 extraordinary kibble to tame it. So the amount here on dododex is wrong info
1.tame a dolphin (ichthyosaurus)and ride it
2.go to the shasta and it will do some communication with the dolphin
3.then it will follow the dolphin so make it follow you to the surface of the sea
4.there will be some things attached to the shasta's body and you have to remove them using a sickle
5.after you remove them go to it's mouth and feed it the kibble
6.repeat until tamed
Tame a dolphin, swim up to it and bring it to the water surface, that initiates a mini game with leeches that are on it, use a sickle and hit the leeches off, then swum to mouth and feed it extraordinary kibble, job done, just make sure there is no danger around, if it gets hit, taming % goes down to 0. Happy taming!
It will be like the sea giga! π¦
If you mess up the taming effectiveness, knock it out and wait for it to wake up again. Their torpor drains fast
Only tames with extraordinary kibble. Don't waste your time trying anything else. You'll swim away in shame.
