How to take a tuso

First you will want to get the following

1. Saddle (unlocked level 91)

2. Creature for tuso to grab (I suggest a carbonemys)

3. Creature to find and kill stuff in area (I suggest basilosuarus)

4. Black pearls tusos eat increments of 50 (to get the pearls you can kill trilobites, kill amonites, kill eurotrapids, or kill tusos. Killing tuso will sometimes give pearls but when it does it will give 25-30. I found kill tusos easiest.

5. Get a full set of scuba gear and extra scuba tanks

Taming it

1. find your tuso they are rare and spawn in the deepest part of the sea.

2. Swim up to it and let it grab your carbonemys. Make sure your tames are on passive during this process so they don’t kill the tuso.

3. Dismount your carbonemys and swim towards its mouth and feed it 50 black pearls.

4. It may need more feedings in which case you will want to level your carbonemys health and bring several of them with you. The tuso will not let go of the carbonemys after it being fed and may kill it although it will let go over time. Repeat process until tamed.

5. Saddle up and enjoy your tame!

Usage when tamed

1. Can spray ink to blind enemy dinos. Will also give it a speed buff when used

2. Immune to jellyfish and eel attacks

3. Can grab and knockout Dino’s

4. When grabbing you can use a high damage crush attack instead

5. Good stamina health weight and dps and speed

Tuso tame:-

Get full scuba suit set.

Use Lazarus chowder(more oxygen) and fria curry(cold resistance).

Get a water dino preference (megadolon, Ichthyosaurus)

Search for tuso see it's lvl. See it's black pearls needs in dododex.

Then go near tuso with water dino.

Tuso grabs ur dino suddenly u dismount.

Go near tuso mouth. It's a squid if u don't know where it's mouth search it in Google.

(Remember while going near to feed it u must be in 1st person mode and total no. Of black pearls should be in ur last slot of quick draw tab to tame at once)

Now ur tuso is tamed..

Extra tip:-

If tuso grabs a dino, damage them.

Tuso will gain hp more aggressively.. but while grabbing tuso damage reduce to half.

Result u can be see when u grab a alpha and melee them..

That's why it's called alpha killer.

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.

Mount a basilosaurus, grab yourself a turtle, have the turtle follow you on lowest setting, while you're on the basilosaurus. Move very close to the tuso it will grab the turtle ignoring the basilosaurus completely. Wait for the tuso to hold on to the turtle and then dismount your basilosaurus and quickly swim up to the tuso's face up close and feed the tusa black pearls. Very easy tame! Enjoy your sea creature!

Tuso on mobile are very rare. The only way to find them consistently is by playing brutal as difficulty and level contribute to spawns. If playing anything other than brutal, you should use tidy saves in single player. Tidy saves kill all Dinos outside of your tamed ones and those in your general area.

Because the Mosa cannot be grabbed on mobile, I recommend to just tame them instead as it is easier to get a ascendant saddle for them (Snow cave drop) and because they are much more common on medium/hard. They might take longer to tame but generally they are better.

If you cannot find a tuso, it is not because you aren’t looking hard enough, in fact, the ocean giants load in far before anything else. It is because the tuso refuses to spawn due to it being low on the spawn priority list.

P.S When you make a single player world for the first time, there is a set amount of tusos on the initial world gen.

Easy: Chance of 1 tuso spawning, guaranteed after surpassing level 80.

Medium: 2 spawn initially and a increased chance after surpassing level 85

Hard: 3 spawn initially and a chance of up to 2 more after surpassing 85

Brutal: 4 spawn initially and level doesn’t matter.

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.

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.
