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!

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…

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.

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

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…

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…

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…

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…

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...
