Tips & Strategies
When looking for these in shallower water fly above the water on an owl and use it’s heat vision. It’s a bit tricky because it’s hard to see where the water is, takes a bit of practice to avoid hitting the water and being dismounted, but you can see all the terrain under the water and creatures within render range will be easy to spot as glowing shapes. It’s much quicker to scan the coastlines on CI or Rag with an owl rather than trying to spot one in the murky depths while swimming on a basi or ichthy.

How to tame tuso
1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath
2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.
3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.
4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.
5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.
6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.
U can only feed it black pearls and it must be grabbed on something to feed it
I tamed one of these and immediately died, of course my reaction was like with most other tames of oh god dammit now it’s gonna die, I zipped over on a dolphin and found it sitting innocently in a ball of about 50 meg carcasses with 2 plesiosaurs in the mix
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
Will not grab mosas in mobile!!!!
When taming tusos, use a creature with good health, torpor, and no oxygen stat as the grab target. Quite a few creatures fulfill this criteria, but my recommendations would be:
*Turtle (small turtle, not megachelon)
*Dunkle
*Mosa/Plesi
*Megalodon
As for your mount, ride a basilo so the tuso won’t grab your mount instead.
If you're mobile player
You can find alot of them in south
If you couldn't find go away render distance and make tidy save then back and search

Read this, it might help you:
1: The best place to encounter tuso is 90-91 lat and cover all longitude from red ob to the end of herb Island.
2: Don't solo search, make a party and cover full bottom of the map.
3: Don't search in shallow water and surface, go for mid and deep sea.
4: They need to grab your tame then only can they be tamed.(Take Carbonemys with health and speed pumped)
5: They take 50 black pearls per serving.
6: They only agro in deep sea.
7: Last and the most important, the server must be brutal or their chance of spawning is not that much. Put server to brutal and for one day atleast go killingspree in ocean to open spawn spots for tuso.
8: Pump only melee and health to tuso.
Found them lay on the beach in Crystal Isles. SO SO easily to tame I follow Nooblets on youtube and it came out working in unofficial server.
Basilosaurus (whale dino) is immune to the squids grabs. Its also immune to jellyfish stings. :)
