What are tips for tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies for tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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!
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
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!
People say he's rare and they are damn right
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.
You can wait untill the tuso grabs a wild animal and as long as you have black pearls in your last slot just swim to its mouth and hit the button it asks for. If you have a shoulder mount leave it at home or just don't have in your shoulder because you can throw it off..
When you see one of these, be ready to die.
Be careful getting grabbed near the world border or else the squid can shove your tame through the wall deleting it from existence.
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
For the person who said they only eat black pearls:they also eat meat.
I use my turtle and basilo and found lvl54 and it grab my turtle and I went to the mouth and feed 50 black pearl and tamed it best way to find it is using a diving suit and go deep with a sea creature and locate one and mark it so u now where it is so you can prepare
Be extra careful around them, when exploring the sea caves, as they can grapple your dino (even your mosasaurus).
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.
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.
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.
Get a basilosaurus
