If u tame one u win ark and basically life, these things are so OP u can take out any water creature including alpha tuso if you have a high level, if you manage to get one killing alpha tuso will give you a great amount of xp. Goodluck

Please tell me why it says non-violent... Because when it grabs u and eats u alive it's not very non-violent...

You need two people, one for feeding the black pearls and the other to feed the turtle that is in the grasp of the Tusoteuthis, with sweet vegetable cake for the health and to feed it stimulates berries as well

They are easier to find while riding a raft, having a monkey on your shoulder, and having a beard. It is recommended to have a big raft that looks like a pirate ship. The ship must have cannons.

When the tusoteuthis grabs you you can avoid its attacks by firing an arrow at its beak during the attack

Listen clostly, dont lure them to the surrface or they wont want to be tamed. Second, it takes one 50 black pearl feeding. Third, they have to be holding onto something. DO NOT BRING PLATFORM SADDLES NEAR THE SQUID IT WILL GLITCH OUT.

Basilosaurus (whale dino) is immune to the squids grabs. Its also immune to jellyfish stings. :)

Just tamed a 150 on an official server. Building a trap high off the ocean floor works great just trap it and rotate out 150 tamed turtles hp pumped. Took about 2 hours with pearls for the tame. Took 50 pearls every 5-10 min. Happy taming!

OK so for those of you actually looking for tips.
1: it can eat 50 at a time so take 50 with you each time.
2: it hold mounts only for a little bit so if you can, just hop back on the turtle quickly and swim away till the next feeding
3: once you tame it beware manta s and anglers as the tuso cannot hit them while they glitch into the head of the squid. It's not that hard if you prepare to lose everything and keep trying. It's worth it once you do but you will need escorts to help with mantis and anglers such as megaladons.

Don't bother wasting sweet veg cakes and risking high level dinos. Get it to grapple your mount, feed it, swim away with your mount on passive and follow, squid will let go after a while, wait above the squids aggro level until the feeding interval is up and then go back to feed it again. Rinse and repeat until tamed. You don't need to stay in the squids grasp for the whole time, affinity won't drop whilst you wait above it.

When you see one of these, be ready to die.

Makes oil when it eats

Squid ward would be proud of what he's created

Be extra careful around them, when exploring the sea caves, as they can grapple your dino (even your mosasaurus).

You can easily kill other tusos and alpha tusos with a decent level one yourself. Just stay above their ascension limit and attack from above. A wild tuso cannot grab a tamed tuso.

Add a timer for how long tusos must hold on to things to nockout

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Don’t try to stun one with a barryonyx it will hug you stronger than me and I bet I can break a neck so swim or RIP Meg
Ps your dead fish meat

Be sure to take out any black pearls in its inventory, as it will eat them if it runs out of meat...

Please do not go into the new water cave before they fix this invisible squid lost two high lvl Spinos
