Basilosaurus are unaffected by their grab. Just go in with a high lvl basilo and its an easy kill to gather black pearls.

To tame use a plesio or mosa or turtle with about 15k hp and some armor and have your tribe mate stay on till youve fed it. Then swim up and have your mate dismount and also swim up. Keep the bait on follow and the tuso will most likely let go. Wait for about 7 to 10 minutes. Force feed your bait and go back in. Very easy with 2 people. WEAR flippers!

Do u know if u attack a Alpha tuso it won't damage u if u riding a tuso.

Just go and kill the alpha tuso with ur whatever lvl tuso..

Alpha tuso only use ink on u when it's hp get too low..

This means u can kill a 150 lvl alpha tuso with ur lame 10 lvl tuso.

Also tuso r good at farming angler gel and bio toxin..

But not as much basilo.

Tuso hp increases while u r grabbing a dino and attacking them.. especially it's helpful while killing a alpha mosa..

Due to this tuso called as alpha killer..

This is how to tame a tuso

(1) Breed/tame high lvl turtles and level them in oxygen and health or high lvl megalodons and level them in health

(2) Have a high lvl basilo or 2 beacause tusos cant grab them

(3) Locate a tuso with a dolphin for mobile or any aquatic tame for pc console and nintendo with the turtles/megalodons, make sure you have black pearls or cooked prime meat on hand (tusos have high aground range)

(4) Get one of the turtles/megalodons and lead it to the tuso with the basilo the tuso will grab it and it does alot of damage, while the tuso is grabbing the bait feed it the black pearls or cooked prime meat then lead the bait away if it survives

(5) Repeat the process until the tuso is tame

(Things to know before taming) (1) If you are using cooked prime meat use 10x soothing balm(for mobile)

(2) Make sure to have stimulants in case you get knocked out

(3) Leave the baits your not using on the beach/shallow water

—That One Nerd

There I am, swimming around in the oceans depths after putting it off for way too long.. tamed some cute dolphins and all was well.....

Then out of nowhere this craken thing just grabs me and squished me to death!

If you wanna survive thing thing, bring an "expendable" tame for it to grab, then either run for your life or tempt your fare and try to tame it.

Good luck, and RIP all my water Bois, I will avenge you!

For mobile:

On single player, search the bottom of the ocean. Tusos tend to spawn in open areas and one of the best spots on mobile is the oil field off the coast of herb island. Breed or tame high health tanks like mosas or basilos to tame. Recommend using 10x or 15x balms.

For servers, tusos can be even rarer because of the high demand for them. Search the entire ocean, surface and depths as creatures on servers tend to move around constantly (have seen and heard of tusos than come right up to shore). High health tanks recommended again and usage of balms highly recommended
