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

Be careful getting grabbed near the world border or else the squid can shove your tame through the wall deleting it from existence.

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!

I got mine to 100,000 hp, with 522% melee... I’m not scared of the ocean anymore.

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.

Power-wise they are basically the gigas of the sea

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

If you want to tame this thing look in the top left corner that’s the where are usually Spond at the border and the 850 bar pearls at a time so for like a level two or a level 10 you’ll have to have 100 black pearls killing these things give you a bunch of black pearls that’s basically all you need to know

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.

Mount a basilosaurus, grab yourself a turtle, have the turtle follow you on lowest setting, while you're on the basilosaurus. Move very close to the tuso it will grab the turtle ignoring the basilosaurus completely. Wait for the tuso to hold on to the turtle and then dismount your basilosaurus and quickly swim up to the tuso's face up close and feed the tusa black pearls. Very easy tame! Enjoy your sea creature!

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.

For the person who said they only eat black pearls:they also eat meat.

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.

Tuso on mobile are very rare. The only way to find them consistently is by playing brutal as difficulty and level contribute to spawns. If playing anything other than brutal, you should use tidy saves in single player. Tidy saves kill all Dinos outside of your tamed ones and those in your general area.

Because the Mosa cannot be grabbed on mobile, I recommend to just tame them instead as it is easier to get a ascendant saddle for them (Snow cave drop) and because they are much more common on medium/hard. They might take longer to tame but generally they are better.

If you cannot find a tuso, it is not because you aren’t looking hard enough, in fact, the ocean giants load in far before anything else. It is because the tuso refuses to spawn due to it being low on the spawn priority list.

P.S When you make a single player world for the first time, there is a set amount of tusos on the initial world gen.

Easy: Chance of 1 tuso spawning, guaranteed after surpassing level 80.

Medium: 2 spawn initially and a increased chance after surpassing level 85

Hard: 3 spawn initially and a chance of up to 2 more after surpassing 85

Brutal: 4 spawn initially and level doesn’t matter.

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

Get a basilosaurus

CAUZE THEY ARE IMMUNE

TO HIS ATTACKS

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

When attacking, use Basilosaurus whales, they cannot be grabbed, be aware that once low health, the squid will flee and emit ink, and debuff you by making all nearby creatures aggro you. I almost lost a 265 basilosaurus to 4 dunkleos and 10 megalos that boxes me into a star formation.
