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

How to tame tuso
1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath
2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.
3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.
4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.
5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.
6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.
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..
U can only feed it black pearls and it must be grabbed on something to feed it
I tamed one of these and immediately died, of course my reaction was like with most other tames of oh god dammit now it’s gonna die, I zipped over on a dolphin and found it sitting innocently in a ball of about 50 meg carcasses with 2 plesiosaurs in the mix
You need two people, one for feeding the black pearls and the other to feed the turtle that is in the grasp of the Tusoteuthis, with sweet vegetable cake for the health and to feed it stimulates berries as well
Will not grab mosas in mobile!!!!
Read this, it might help you:
1: The best place to encounter tuso is 90-91 lat and cover all longitude from red ob to the end of herb Island.
2: Don't solo search, make a party and cover full bottom of the map.
3: Don't search in shallow water and surface, go for mid and deep sea.
4: They need to grab your tame then only can they be tamed.(Take Carbonemys with health and speed pumped)
5: They take 50 black pearls per serving.
6: They only agro in deep sea.
7: Last and the most important, the server must be brutal or their chance of spawning is not that much. Put server to brutal and for one day atleast go killingspree in ocean to open spawn spots for tuso.
8: Pump only melee and health to tuso.
Basilosaurus (whale dino) is immune to the squids grabs. Its also immune to jellyfish stings. :)
Tame turtles
Let it attach to turtles that you are riding
Swim up to its mouth and feed black Pearl's to tame
I’ve feared the ark ocean for a while now and this just brings a inky cherry on top
