What are tips for tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies for tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I previously said my praises to the Basilo (which I didn't check for spelling errors. Oops.) However, ever since taming a Tuso after so long, it reinvigorated my love for it. Update on the King of the Sea: the Tuso blows the Basilo out of the water. Sure it doesn't regen crazy amounts of health at the surface, but it does when attacking creatures in its grip. Sure it doesn't have a resistance to Jellyfish stings, but it has such a long reach that it will almost never be stung. And finally, it may not be able to grip onto the Basilo, but it isn't an issue. Taming wise, just let the Tuso grab onto whatever creature you have, then swim to its beak and feed it black pearls. It is annoying, but at least it doesn't take hundreds of tranqs to knock out. It is still a good idea to get the Basilo, but get a Tuso as well, for this is the true King of the Ocean.
One time I managed to kill one with my ichtyosaur Ruby and 2 others Karen and Betty.betty died but Karen and I lived and I managed to kill it and got a ton of kag from the squid inking
Use a mosa or plesiosaur let it grab your tame jump off go to its beak and feed it I prefer to use black pearls cuz they tame a lot faster but each feeding it takes 50 Black pearls each and they are pretty rare
These things are surprisingly easy to kill, I was able to do it with two lvl 200 megalodons.
Super easy solo tame strategy is to get a dunkleosteus with a decent saddle since it gets a 75% dmg reduction even a low lvl dunk works well. Just swim up to it on the dunk, have it on follow and when the squid grands the dunk just hop off put the pearls in it's beak and swim straight up. The squid has a ceiling just like the mosa and plesi so it will only follow the dunk a short way. Tamed a 140 squid with a lvl 40 dunk and never lost more than 400 health.
OMG giant squid plus saddle is so bad ass. It towers any construction you put it into. I had a dream I rode a bigger meaner looking one that had spikes on the outside as well into someone's base and installed everything.
The squid only wanted a hug from you but noo you had to kill it. You faled in life you hardless fool
Help. Me. Please.
To the guy who said I will kill whoever took my 1200 pearls for squids: I found a comment here a while ago that said "I took 1200 black pearls from the alpha tribe" or something, if ur the alpha tribe, there's ur guy
When tampering a squid pastime it with black pearls it is a instinct tame
If you are playing in a high boosted server just tame a medium/high lvl megalodon and let it tank when you feed the kraken, really easy
Get a super high level turtle and swim in its mouth then feed it black pearls.
Take a high health turtle swim it down and let the squid latch oh and kill it while it does that swim towards the beak bring 4 or 5 turtles on offical servers to tame on. It took me 9 turtles to tame a Level 120,it's worth the tame I found myself murdering people's rexs from the safety of the water and it inflicts torpor so you can use it to tame
It's very hard to tame😓
Me and a friend are trying to kill one. This is going to be fun. We are on the crystal island
Just so you know to tame you have to have it grab a tamed creature and then slowly feed it black pearls or whatever your using
Get some high leveled carbonymes and let squidward grapple them, then give it black Pearl's to tame it.
Uhmmm..... Are they supposed to be ultra common cause i have tamed 5 already and they keep spawning every time i go underwater im mobile btw
