Tips & Strategies
I previously said my praises to the Basilo (which I didn't check for spelling errors. Oops.) However, ever since taming a Tuso after so long, it reinvigorated my love for it. Update on the King of the Sea: the Tuso blows the Basilo out of the water. Sure it doesn't regen crazy amounts of health at the surface, but it does when attacking creatures in its grip. Sure it doesn't have a resistance to Jellyfish stings, but it has such a long reach that it will almost never be stung. And finally, it may not be able to grip onto the Basilo, but it isn't an issue. Taming wise, just let the Tuso grab onto whatever creature you have, then swim to its beak and feed it black pearls. It is annoying, but at least it doesn't take hundreds of tranqs to knock out. It is still a good idea to get the Basilo, but get a Tuso as well, for this is the true King of the Ocean.

I was upset to find out we can't grab wild creatures on official servers but I'm still happy with this tame. They produce oil in their inventory, hit like a truck, (best of all) immune to jellyfish. Now I have enough biotoxin to Botox all of Beverly Hills.

I got mine to 100,000 hp, with 522% melee... Iβm not scared of the ocean anymore.
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.
Power-wise they are basically the gigas of the sea
You do NOT KNOW how cool it is to use this thing and drag a rex to the bottom of the ocean
Add a timer for how long tusos must hold on to things to nockout
The reason why it doesnβt have a platform saddle is because it doesnβt have bones or a back. Like if it had a back, it would have a platform saddle because the back can actually carry weight and it has bone to support. But the tuso doesnβt have a back or bones. Imagine you were boneless and you only had arms and a head, and you had to swim with a block of concrete on your face.

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