Get a basilosaurus
CAUZE THEY ARE IMMUNE
TO HIS ATTACKS
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.
Honestly the best place to find a Tuso is the western part of Ragnarok, at roughly 50,10. There is a medium sized trench that houses at least a dozen. Here's an easy way to tame.
1) Grab something to breathe underwater. (Scuba or a tek helmet)
2) Grab a beefed up tame with good hp. (I use a Shadowmane because they breathe underwater and have insane natural armor)
3) Let the Tuso Grab your tame and while it's latched, swim up and feed it one stack of 50 black pearls. It has to be 50. Any type of meat will take you 3 hours compared to a couple minutes.
4) Rinse and repeat. Be prepared to die, taming a Tuso for the first time isn't super easy but remember not to panic. Clear the area out around the Tuso you want to tame first and then try.
Be extra careful around them, when exploring the sea caves, as they can grapple your dino (even your mosasaurus).
For the stuck squid on the crystal isles beaches; it is tameable. Eat a Rare Flower to aggro it and you can passive tame it normally!
Listen clostly, dont lure them to the surrface or they wont want to be tamed. Second, it takes one 50 black pearl feeding. Third, they have to be holding onto something. DO NOT BRING PLATFORM SADDLES NEAR THE SQUID IT WILL GLITCH OUT.
Mosasaur is the Giga of the sea you say? Well this here scurvy kraken is the titanosaur of the sea! Get in yonder boat and flee! Or you'll end up like me!
Don’t believe the comments saying you need 2 minimum tribe mates to tame this. It can be easily solo tamed i like to use two turtles one to sit on and one for bait. Let it grab the bait turtle then feed the tuso and jump back on your safe turtle and whistle the bait turtle back and just repeat.
You will know you have found one when the halo flood theme starts playing
How to fight an alpha one
You don’t cuz it’s the actual freaking kraken
Don’t let it grab your tame when near the ocean floor. It’s mechanic while holding your tame makes it tilt in such a way that you are moved underground. Then the game rerenders you and your tame above the water. Lost a lvl 218 mosa instantly. Try and get the squid to go a little higher before trying to tame.
Everyone says this thing is rare, but I ran into two of them with in 10 mins apart off the coast of herb island around 85ish,90ish. Recommend your tames have high health because this thing ripped apart my dinos.
