Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a shastasaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a shastasaurus.
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
Tamed a lvl 140 on official servers x2 event,
Dododex estimated 22 extraordinary kibble, i used 30. Come prepared.
It’s 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
It will be a passive tame, you go up to it with a pack of ichthyosaurs and scrape barnacles off its belly.
It will be like the sea giga! 🦖
If you mess up the taming effectiveness, knock it out and wait for it to wake up again. Their torpor drains fast
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 ‘school’ of Ichthyosaurs ( you’ll need a certain number of Ichtys to create the ‘school’), 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 doesn’t sate otherwise in the dossier) you have to repeat this several times.
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!
Lvl 90 took 14 extraordinary kibble on 3x event, official servers
Only tames with extraordinary kibble. Don't waste your time trying anything else. You'll swim away in shame.
Tamed a 85 on 3x thought 10 kibble was enough but it wasn’t. 15 kibble did the trick. Hopefully this helps.
On the Center they like to hang out on the ocean in front of the Red woods forest 2 to 3 always around wait a few minutes while in the area remember you have to give a chance for stuff to spawn I play on official
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.
Ain’t no way asa is gonna make the center actually good
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.
Give it a chin scratch a pat on the back and it’s yours
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.
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
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.
Only tames with kibble. You can't tame it with anything else.
