Tips & Strategies

I encountered this goliath right near my base, i was exploring the sea with a newly tamed megalodon. I came over a large rock and there i saw it. Coming out, i was in shock and awe but then i was soon in fear for both my meg and myself. I raced back up to the surface with this thing right on my tail, I didn’t even bother to look back in fear that it would scoop me right up. Finally in the nick of time and stamina i made it into the shallows and i looked back to see the beast waving its tentacles begore disappearing into the sea. I knew i could not let such a monstrosity best me near my base so i went back and grabbed my rifles and crossbows and set out to lure it back into the shallows, i then unloaded magazine after magazine onto it, and then suddenly it sprayed its ink and i knew that the predator had become the prey. With my meg i hunted this beast down as it attempted to flee but it managed to beach itself and thus the demon had met its end.a word of advice DONT GO TOO DEEP
More Tusoteuthis Encountering Tips
They are easier to find while riding a raft, having a monkey on your shoulder, and having a beard. It is recommended to have a big raft that looks like a pirate ship. The ship must have cannons.

When the tusoteuthis grabs you you can avoid its attacks by firing an arrow at its beak during the attack
This noodle monster destroyed my lvl 46 itchy in under 5 seconds and didn’t even let me get its stuff back. After trying to kill it in my rage it decides to run when it’s health gets low. Now I kill any tuso I find for revenge.

If you have spent a really long time looking for one then it could possibly be because there are to many wild dinos in your world which means you need to go on a huge killing spree to open up some spots for the Tuso or any other Dino you can’t find to be able to spawn

These Dino’s cannot grab arhelons or basilos it can grab basically everything else tho. They spawn fairly common along the bottom of the entire border of the island. They cost 50 black pearls per time you try to tame it it shouldn’t take too long.
When Ark says that the unicorn is the rarest creature. That’s a lie. At least the unicorn spawns. This thing is supposed to. I have spent the last week living in a pearl cave in their spawn hotspot and have not seen evidence of a single one. Reply to me @Tofuna
People say he's rare and they are damn right
When you see one of these, be ready to die.
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.
