How do I kill a tusoteuthis? tusoteuthis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I was just farming crystals when this thing appears out of nowhere and kills me so if you see one GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE
Just lost my mosa to a lvl 10 squid because the stupid thing was glitched & when I shot it 3-5 times in the beak & it didn't let go, so bring 2+ Dino's with you or avoid them!
For the noobs(aka new players or those who don't know much about about a tuso)when it says "does not wanna be tamed right now" it means it won't take good unless it has grappled onto a tame! Like for an example let's say you have 50 black pearls and a soothing balm( always get a soothing balm it makes life easier with these guys). Get a plesio or a tanky underwater creature(note:tuso's can't grab mosa on mobile so a plesiosaur is recommended). Get your fans grabbed by the tuso and go around where the tentacles won't hit you(like thanos said go for the head) and feed it the black pearls and the soothing balm(if you have one)! and there is a guide as simple as I could make it.
It only wants to hug you, don’t dissapoint it. It has a pretty strong hugging-grip though.
I found three MOSASASOUR before I found ONE of these
Best place to find these are 50 10 on ragnorok by broken ships.
Y’all talking about how they’re so hard to find but of course I get one in the ocean stretch that’s right in front of my house, he’s making it impossible to tame anything other then megas and itchys :/
Normal: mosa or pleisio
Alpha: impossibility
Or just use a high level mosa, or a pack of every thing in the ocean
You tame one you find one out side your door somehow on land
going though the ocean (is looking for the male level 50 tusk I spotted earlier and returned with appropriate tame and food) can’t find it (starts to question my very sanity) the 100 female abouta snatch my tame (hehe) [I tamed her name ideas? no tentacle stuff jokes]
They will only attack you if you are wet. Stay dry, stay safe!
On the most South western island in Crystal isles the whole South beach can spawn a tuso stuck on the beach unable to move for a safe easy tame, there are spots like this all over that map but this ones the safest
If you search kraken this pops up
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
Try to ignore the tusoteuthis they can kill almost all of your tamed animals they usually get stuck in rocks so swim next to rocks or in tight gaps

@tofuna go to the deepest point to the west of herb island. Boom it’s there. Once you get it. Swim to the inlet of herb island then swim back and another has spawned back in
In ark mobile these do NOT have an ascension limit so one can use a high health/fast basi to lure one into a trap near shore or into herbie island cove. From there you can get out your AR and fill it with bullets.
Bro If you ever think you have killed everything near this huge Squidward you might be wrong cause I did kill everything around but the second I get off my mount boom like 3 dolphins go to attack me but they distract me then the squid broke my scuba tank and so the moral of the story is to ummm I don't know double check?
So once I was running from one and I ran into a wide river then it got stuck in the river as I blocked the entrance he is still there until therinzo breaks the stone and he speeeeeeed out of river into open ocean
