I got mine to 100,000 hp, with 522% melee... I’m not scared of the ocean anymore.
Tusoteuthis
The Tusoteuthis is a massive, aggressive squid found in the depths of the oceans. In battle, the Tusoteuthis can grab its prey and knock it unconcious, siphoning its blood to gain health. Once tamed, the ink from a Tusoteuthis can be used as a constant Oil source. Some survivors choose to hunt the Tusoteuthis for its Oil.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…
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 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.
Power-wise they are basically the gigas of the sea
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
Add a timer for how long tusos must hold on to things to nockout
Be extra careful around them, when exploring the sea caves, as they can grapple your dino (even your mosasaurus).
For the person who said they only eat black pearls:they also eat meat.
On crystal isles you can commonly find these guys near the shore with the text "does not want to be tamed right now". Dont fall for it,you can still tame it but its gonna a lot weirder than if it was completely underwater. First if you hit it with your tame (e.g…
On crystal isles you can commonly find these guys near the shore with the text "does not want to be tamed right now". Dont fall for it,you can still tame it but its gonna a lot weirder than if it was completely underwater. First if you hit it with your tame (e.g carbonemys) riding or watching far away commanding it to attack it will stay still and not attack and afterwards it will be completely passive even if you attack it. First you need to get your tame close to the tuso (dont worry it wont aggro to you first), then attack and quickly run away. This way even though it normally wouldnt have wanted to grab your tame will still grab it since it is the nearest dino there is,afterwards feed it black pearls or cooked prime meat if you wanna go for a few more rounds. It wont do that much dmg to your tame if you feed it quickly,like not even 500 dmg.
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…

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…

Get a basilosaurus
CAUZE THEY ARE IMMUNE
TO HIS ATTACKS
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..
Be sure to take out any black pearls in its inventory, as it will eat them if it runs out of meat...
