I am a huge dinosaur and prehistoric animal nerd. So I heard about this creature and I looked it up. I found numerous videos about “Tusoteuthis taming!” “Taming Tusoteuthis in ark!”

I was like, what is this amazing game? I downloaded it on my iPad and started playing. (December 2019.)

I started playing ark just because of the Tuso, and for over a year, I still hadn’t seen one. Then, in FEBRUARY 2021, I finally saw a Tuso when I was swimming on my dolphin on the island (I started playing pc as well as mobile btw.) I saw an ALPHA SQUID and I totally freaked out.

Now, just the other day, I tamed my first Tuso with pearls on Genesis. It is a beautiful blue color and is OP, so I named it Havoc!

🆙if you like tusos

I have a story for you. I once tamed a tuso by feedin it balm and pearls. We had great adventures. Everyday I would collect oil from it and make gas. One day we were swimmin around together getting angler jell. And the game glitches just as we were attacked Ng a mosa and an army of mantas. I reload the game an look for my boi tusa( his name is legs) I can't find him any where. I look in the takes place and request him just before it finished it said. Your legs has killed a mosa. Your legs has been killed by a manta.RIP legs u were an inky boi. Upydoot to pay respects.#loveulegs

So idk where to put this so I put it in encountering. Sit down ye landlubbers and hear my tale. I was hunting basilos on my kraken named blue. He could kill anything he saw. I couldn’t find even one basilo I went into a cave thinking one might be in there then beasts of horror came and trapped me and my great kraken of death. The nightmarish sharks, dunkleos, jellyfish, and more started to bite, sting, and do more horrid things. Now if ye look down into a cave ye better remember my tale. or ye won’t tell a tale cause dead men tell no tales.

My base is on herbivore island, and I was swimming around on my brand spanking new mosa (Lvl50 perfect tame), just leveling and killing some random stuff. I was killing some anglers, when a plesiosaur jumped out of the rock behind me, and then while I was focused on killing that, one of these pains in the rear spawned right next to me, AND IT WAS LVL140. I nearly had a heart attack. I am so glad I play on mobile and it couldn’t grab Aquatic Terminator (My Mosa). I ran off to get my dolphin so I could check the tuso’s lvl. Because if you don’t know you can’t pull a spyglass out while riding a mosa. I saw the 140, and that’s the last thing I’ve done in ark at this point. Can anyone give me some hints on how to go ahead with this? I hit it 3 times and now it’s on 6k out of 11k health. -BrokenWolves-

I knew a lot about ark even when I was really new, but until about 2 months ago, I didn’t think mosa’s, liopluradon (I know I spelt that wrong) and tuso’s didn’t spawn on mobile, so when I saw them on servers I immediately thought “well they must play on pc”. I literally only found out that servers weren’t mixed console a couple months ago too, and that’s kinda embarrassing because I’ve been playing for at least 2 years now 🤦‍♀️

Ok, so heres my story about this son of a b****.So, i was just chilling have some fun on pc ark but then i decided “lets use my mod to find a tuso!“ And so i did my mod showed me a level 96 tuso that wasint to far away from me (its the island map btw) so i started gathering my nalck pearls and items together i mad some scuba gear and set of on my spino Riptide he was a bulky boi did about 700 damage with one claw swipe and hydrated buff had a decent saddle to! Ok, on with the story we started heading to the location where the tuso was, it was right next to the barrier and there was tons of threats around it me and Riptide cleared everything out and headed for the first feed.... It went well! I realized we need to feed it 3 times until it was tamed time passed I started to get anxious “what if i die?“ “what if Riptide dies?“ I realized I should go in for the next feed and so i did.... Hell broke out the tuso grapped Riptide and me and fricking slammed us throught the barrier! I lost all my stuff and my brave Riptide who fought until the end... #RIP Riptide!

So I was looking for a high lvl mosasaur on my plesiosaur and saw that the daily pursuit was to kill 20 eels so I started that. After a full day I only found a mid lvl mosasaur and decided not to tame it. But I was still 1 eel away from completing the pursuit so I went out again, this time on my basilosaurus cuz I get anxiety whenever I see a jellyfish when I’m on my plesiosaur. I went down into the deep ocean and saw something that I initially thought was a dunkleosteus. My reaction basically was: hmm that’s a pretty weird looking dunk. Oh why is that dunk so fast. OH GOD WHY DOES THE DUNK HAVE TENTACLES. And then I realised it was a tuso so I checked its level. It was level 80 and coming straight for me. So I swam away as fast as I could but it caught up and began to grab me... then I realised I’m on a basilosaurus and the tuso basically can’t do anything to me (basilos cannot be grabbed). I headed back to base to grab some black pearls and a soothing balm to tame it, and it followed me all the way home... apparently they do not have a minimum depth limit like other deep sea creatures I guess. I came back out on my dunkleoteus and tamed it. Now I just have a giant squid chilling outside my base and I’m not high lvl enough to make its saddle yet.

So I've wanted one these bad boy for so long and I got one for free from previous server alpha before they change servers thanks frfr always be a bro -Gyaku. server 28 switch official

there should be a 'special interaction' for this creature for example when riding a raft that has a foundation of 6 metters long 3 meters wide and have 6 cannons on side 2 cannons at the back and 1 cannon at the front and when you go closely at its targeting radius it will swim up to your raft and have a special interaction in you like wrapping its tentacles on your raft and finally pulling it deep in the sea........arghh!!!! kill the squid never let them run or aye cut yall heads up.....more like sea of thieves hehehe

The Red Pike

Red’s story, chapter 1

Red was swimming at the bottom of the ocean, not too far away from herbivore island. Red would always go up to herbivore island and get some food there, mainly basilosaurus, sharks, and sometimes the huge whales near there if she was feeling risky, and very hungry. Red saw a mosa swim around, not noticing the huge squid. Red swam closer until she could grab it, and once she had grabbed it, she started stabbing it with her tentacles, sometimes skin being ripped of leaving blood. Once the mosa was dead, Red ate what was left of mosa. Then, red headed up near the surface, because she thought she had seen something strange. It was heading towards herbivore island! There were also many of the metal platforms zooming across the ocean. Red headed deeper where she wouldn’t be seen. Red thought of a plan, she could not let these strange things take over her island, and her’s only.

The Red Pike

Red’s story, chapter 2

Red had a plan. She couldn’t defeat them all, so she decided to take down some of their creatures and strange, metal platforms. Red swam up, grabbing a mosa and ripping it to shreds, then stabbed a plesiosaur in the neck multiple times, killing it. Red then grabbed one of the metal platforms, dragging it under the water and destroying everything on it. She saw strange, small creatures with strange weapons, but Red quickly swiped at them, killing them. Two mosasaurus swam at Red, but she had squirted ink as soon as they got close, blinding it. Red hit one of the mosasaurus a couple times, killing it. Just as she was about to finish off the next mosa, something painful hit her. Red turn around, hearing something snap, most likely a rope. Then a long, metal thing with a sharp tip came into the ocean. The metal thing was attached to a rope. Red turned around just in time, hitting the mosa who was almost dead. Red then finished the mosa and swam as fast as she could to where the sharp metal thing.

“I think we attracted it with the harpoon!” Somebody said on the boat. Red flipped the boat over, and then destroying everything on it. More harpoons came into the ocean, as sharks came after Red. Red killed every shark that got close, until she saw many creatures coming after her. She hit a boat with her tentacle, almost flipping it, and then swimming away as fast as she could. She got away, and her plan had worked. If they ever came back, she would destroy more of the metal things and the creatures that followed it.

I've scoured the entire island looking for one for weeks! It's so hard to find that it's like it doesn't even exist. I've looked in every single spot in the ocean and have never found one. Up if you have the same problem.

I shit my pants when I saw it 😑

before i know this guy, im not fear to explore the whole ocean with my plesio her name is rose. but one day i see this guy in the bottom of the ocean i tought it was friendly so i come to him with rose and then i dont know what happen he grab my lovely rose and kill it. so until this day im not gona go to the ocean anymore

#pray_for_rose

I was just playing ark mobile when i saw this guy behind me and my plesi i know that the tuso can grab plesi so i want to try tame it i went back to base got my pearls and a smooting balm and went back to the tuso it grab my plesi and it die in about 10 to 20 second i forgot to put my max level plesi on passive but the tuso was low level so not a big loss

10 minutes ago I was looking for a Tuso I had already found 2 liopluradons I was about to give up and then I see a alpha mosa chilling next to a max level tuso I killed alpha mosa and tamed him the end.

The taming is easy for me but the finding is hard

I was just swimming around with my mosa, farming some black pearls and hoping i would find a tuso. A while later, i saw one, it was lvl 115 ( i play on medium so its actually a high lvl ) Then i just agroed it to my mosa and let it grab it. But, it wasnt grabbing my mosa because i had a platform saddle on it, i told my tribemates to craft an mosa saddle, but they were busy, and didnt even craft it. I was just thinking what i could do, then i saw the tuso grab a carbonemys. I instantly went to it and tamed it, now i keep that carbonemys’ implant in my inventory. ( i play on mobile)

So, I was in a server wandering and came across a giant base. I looked inside and found one of these, (tamed) now at the time I didn’t know what this was, in the position it was in, oh gosh, to me it looked like a giant shrimp.... I know that sounds weird but it DID. Anyways someone came around flying on there Griffin and saw me standing on it. I said in the chat “what is this” He didn’t respond. “Shrimp?” I was expecting him to do the emote yes or no. He didn’t. Then he picked me up on his Griffin and brought me back to his base. FINALY he said “squid” and it all made sense..... -Squirrely
