What are tips for tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies for tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Very easy tame. I used a plesiosaur with about 11k health on official pve servers, but a mosa or megalodon should work. Depends on the saddle but I lost about 2k health per feed, so more health cant hurt.
Make sure your dino is on passive and following you.
Swim down to the tuso and let it grab you. Jump off and swim towards the base of its tentacles. Feed the beak.
Then swim up as fast as possible. Get out of render and the tuso should let go. Once in render again the dino should follow you but the tuso will stay down. May take a couple tries as the tuso can grab again.
Wait 14 mins and repeat.
They are the only way to tame aquatic creatures, but with the recent TLC pass 3, they get torn apart by packs of megalodons. They are absolutely terrible to attack with, they need wide open water to work well. Hence, they suck for caves. Use a Basilosaurus for all underwater caves.
I found two liopluros on mobile before I found one of these dudes
It likes to eat balls disgusting
Sorry it isn’t really a tip, but where do you find these frickin thangs?!?!?!?

I was wondering how long do they grab you for.
so u need a mosa to tame a tuso but u need a tuso to tame a mosa...
you must tame this creature passive
Me: grandpa I’m having trouble finding a Tuso.
grandpa: what now
Me: I’m trying to find a tusoteuthis
grandpa: I haven’t seen that since I was 5 years old.
If your on a server and the attack damage is high you can use it to your advantage get a something that does lots of torpor and that does lots of damage but not enough to kill
To tame prime fish meat or normal fish what ever is easiest.
Just get a turtle and if its a high level just get 2 turtles and dont ride them you will die so then u get the turtles cryopod one then just put it out in front of the squid which should grab them
If you are trying to kill it but don't have a mosa, try constantly attacking it near its head above its eye, (won't work with tames with a large turning radius) it won't be able to reach you with its tentacles and theres a chance it might get stuck attacking that way until you move again.
They say non violent it is not!⚠️warning⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ it isn’t it will kill you.
You will die by yourself.😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😱
This thing nearly killed me I had to hack my way out of the problem
Step1 go to gen1 ocean step 2 do wave ray 64 and buy black pearls till you have 50 or so then use your levels from the mission and just upgrade stamina and oxygen half each now go find a basilosaurus and feed it fish meat from the coelacanths around make a saddle for the basilo go find a Tuso and get off the basilo once you are off the basilo get latched on and feed it the black pearls
