Warning: if on the switch make sure the black pearls do not stack when feeding. For example during an evo event one back pearl will tame the tuso 100% but if you feed it a stack of 8 it will only go up 1/3 of the way.
Tusoteuthis
The Tusoteuthis is a massive, aggressive squid found in the depths of the oceans. In battle, the Tusoteuthis can grab its prey and knock it unconcious, siphoning its blood to gain health. Once tamed, the ink from a Tusoteuthis can be used as a constant Oil source. Some survivors choose to hunt the Tusoteuthis for its Oil.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Solo tame is possible. Just gotta be good and have a plan before hand.

How to tame a Tuso!
First, let’s prepare!
What you need: A tame. Tuso’s can grab most creatures, except Basilio’s and other creatures that you shouldn’t use for this tame anyway. Make sure it either has a high oxygen stat or can breathe underwater. Also pump it’s levels into health. SCUBA gear, no Lazarus chowder as this tame is a longer one. Black pearls, in stacks of 50.
How to tame
Find a Tuso; I have only ever found them around Carno Island. Swim down to it on your tame. Let it aggro on you and grab your tame. You will know you have been grabbed because your screen will move around without you moving it. Now dismount, and quickly swim up to its beak-thing, with the black pearls in your last slot of your inventory (In a stack of 50), and feed. Repeat a couple times, the higher the level the more feeds, until tamed.
Now you have tamed a Tuso!
Utilities
Tuso’s are very powerful, with an ink and a grab ability. Their grab ability will deal torpor as well as regular damage to whatever they’re holding.
When they are killed they drop:
Black pearls.
Tuso tentacle-a tribute for a boss, I believe the dragon.
Absorbent Substrate, a material for the gas mask.
There are also alpha variants of the Tuso, which drop:
Even more black pearls.
Alpha Tuso Eye, a tribute for the Overseer boss.
Absorbent Substrate

You can use a spino to it has a lot of hp and demage
Normal: mosa or pleisio
Alpha: impossibility
Or just use a high level mosa, or a pack of every thing in the ocean
No raw prime
You tame one you find one out side your door somehow on land
Tip for finding in mobile: you can use tidy save to clear up the spawns
(This rip also applys to other rare Dino’s like the quetzal, the mosa and the giga)
Wanna go hunting squid friend ……………. The squid
going though the ocean (is looking for the male level 50 tusk I spotted earlier and returned with appropriate tame and food) can’t find it (starts to question my very sanity) the 100 female abouta snatch my tame (hehe) [I tamed her name ideas? no tentacle stuff jokes]
How to easy Tuso tame on mobile: do hunt megapirrahnah for 10x balm and get scuba gear. Then, find a Tuso and wait for it to grab a turtle. After that it’s easy taming.
ARK MOBILE currently, the squid won't drop black pearls!
Don't bother searching for black pearls in Ark Mobile! Feed the squid a stack of cooked prime meat after giving it soothing balm!
(This works well on easy servers, check gamepedia for how many stacks it'll need with soothing balm)
Take a raft (make sure there aren’t any Leedsichthys around!) then put a chest on the raft full of black pearls and take 50 at a time. An take a lot of Carbonemys or a basilo and tame. Beware the weight of the pearls!
They will only attack you if you are wet. Stay dry, stay safe!
If you are taming on small tribes a 150 goes to 72% with a single feed. After the feed give it a bat juice and boom insta tame 150 100%. Can use shadowmane. The thorns doesn't mess with the taming

On the most South western island in Crystal isles the whole South beach can spawn a tuso stuck on the beach unable to move for a safe easy tame, there are spots like this all over that map but this ones the safest
How to tame except I actually have grammar
Get a turtle and level up health. 5,000+ should be good.
Get 50 black pearls and a cryopod with your turtle in it.
Take a fast sea mount (ichthyosaurus would be fine) and start searching for tuso. (They spawn at the bottom of…

If you can't find one go on a killing spree with a mosasaur or whatever to open up spawn spots
After a bit start searching again and when you find one deploy your turtle and have the tuso grab it. This should be easy since they're aggressive. When it grabs the turtle, go near it's beak and feed it the pearls.
And now you have a tuso!
U can pickup their eggs. U don't need to get a gacha now (to pick them up) :)
