What are tips for tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies for tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Usually in the deep sea, tusos spawn behind rocks
I found a lvl 4 Female Tuso near my base, and I got scared as he'll when it kept dissapearing and reappearing in front of me, trying yo grab my Ples America Sweep. I accidently was followed to my water base, and smacked it down with my Basilo. I gotten around 30 Black pearls, so until I'm lvl 91, Tusos will fear me.
(BASILO CANNOT BE GRABBED BY TUSO OR GET ELECTRICUTED BY JELLIES!!!)
The maewing is where it's at for 2022 tuso taming, high health mae, fast enough to get away from anything in the ocean.
You wanna tame a tanky dino because it does lots of damage an dont get garbbed or else your dead
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
Don’t try to stun one with a barryonyx it will hug you stronger than me and I bet I can break a neck so swim or RIP Meg
Ps your dead fish meat
Taming with a turtle is such an unnecessary hassle. Just use a passive Spino with good health, a good saddle, and if possible, some movement speed. 1. It’s faster and more manoeuvrable than a turtle. 2. If u die while feeding the Tuso pearls, the spino won’t get killed it’ll just float straight to the top when the squid detaches.
I saw this for the first time when I was riding on my ichthy. It was level 300. So I thought I should tame it but I changed my mind because it needs so much black pearls and black pearls are so rare. But now I want it and I can’t find it.
Want to tame one of these as practically your first tame? It's pretty simple.
1. Go to Rag and get black pearls off the coast
2. Go to gen 2
3. Do any easy race mission such as Slide and Glide or Circuit chase and then buy a cryopod from HL-NA
3. Tame a medium level turtle and cryo it
4. Go into the underwater ocean and find a Tuso
5. Throw out the turtle and get on it far away from the tuso but close enough to aggro it onto you
6. Give the squid the turtle and feed him the pearls. Repeat if need be
Side note: This method is extremely easy but much easier if it's on a 3x taming event as most squids up to Level 140 will be tamed in 50 black pearls, Meaning you only need to tame 1 turtle
Just used a shadowmane on gen2 Nd it deals with the tuso pretty well, very well actually. I'm honestly using the shadowmanes from now on for the tuso to grab Nd bonus is you can be outside of the trap whilst doing it
I was playing on mobile once and saw one for the first time, (i have the GC so I had infinite stats and could spawn Pearls) But it said 'does not want to be tamed right now' why does it do ths?
If an alpha tuso hits your heavies... say goodbye
One good tame to use for feeding a tuso is a dunkleo, as they reduce damage by 80% and more with a saddle and have pumped health so they should be able to tank their grabe no problem.
If by any reason you end up in the middle of the ocean and you look down to see a large shadow coming up just kill yourself.
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!
I revive deep seas creatures in shallow water so they don’t move. SQUIDS STILL MOVE IN SHALLOW WATER. Remember this so you don’t waste your amber like me.
Since the Gen 2 update it is now possible to pick up Tuso eggs without the need for Gachas!
If you find a beached squid on crystal isles, get a turtle. They’ll Argo and pick it up instantly
If you want to tame a tuso (you will at some point) bring a high health turtle and at least 100 black pearls (silica pearls don’t work) let the tuso grab the turt and go to the tusos mouth and feed it the pearls.
