ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Be careful getting grabbed near the world border or else the squid can shove your tame through the wall deleting it from existence.
Don’t tame these anywhere near the world border. I got dropped out of bounds and my stuff deleted.
When Ark says that the unicorn is the rarest creature. That’s a lie. At least the unicorn spawns. This thing is supposed to. I have spent the last week living in a pearl cave in their spawn hotspot and have not seen evidence of a single one. Reply to me @Tofuna
I’ve feared the ark ocean for a while now and this just brings a inky cherry on top
Use a Mosa to tame this beast. Let the Mosa get grabbed wait a couple seconds get off feed it black pearls. Have your mosa on follow lowest, swim a bit away from the Tuso after feeding it, when the Tuso lets go the Mosa will swim to you. Repeat until Tuso it tamed. Super easy!
If your scared of the ocean just get a dolphin nothing will attack it I killed a alpha mosa with just a dolphin this is sponsored by dolphin number 9756
Get a water Dino with a lot of health get grabbed go to its mouth and feed it black pearls go back on the Dino and wait until it’s hungry again and feed repeat until it’s done
People say he's rare and they are damn right
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!
Anyone who says it can only be tamed with black pearls, your wrong, I just tamed two level 4 with 80 meat each.
For the person who said they only eat black pearls:they also eat meat.
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.
The reason why it doesn’t have a platform saddle is because it doesn’t 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 doesn’t 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.
When you see one of these, be ready to die.
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.
