How to tame tuso

1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath

2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.

3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.

4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.

5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.

6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.

U can only feed it black pearls and it must be grabbed on something to feed it

So many outdated tips.

- clear nearby enemies

- have the tuso grab a high health tame.

- be mounted on a second creature that can attack or use hotbar.

- feed it black pearls while mounted.

I tamed one of these and immediately died, of course my reaction was like with most other tames of oh god dammit now it’s gonna die, I zipped over on a dolphin and found it sitting innocently in a ball of about 50 meg carcasses with 2 plesiosaurs in the mix

You need two people, one for feeding the black pearls and the other to feed the turtle that is in the grasp of the Tusoteuthis, with sweet vegetable cake for the health and to feed it stimulates berries as well

Will not grab mosas in mobile!!!!

Read this, it might help you:

1: The best place to encounter tuso is 90-91 lat and cover all longitude from red ob to the end of herb Island.

2: Don't solo search, make a party and cover full bottom of the map.

3: Don't search in shallow water and surface, go for mid and deep sea.

4: They need to grab your tame then only can they be tamed.(Take Carbonemys with health and speed pumped)

5: They take 50 black pearls per serving.

6: They only agro in deep sea.

7: Last and the most important, the server must be brutal or their chance of spawning is not that much. Put server to brutal and for one day atleast go killingspree in ocean to open spawn spots for tuso.

8: Pump only melee and health to tuso.

Basilosaurus (whale dino) is immune to the squids grabs. Its also immune to jellyfish stings. :)

Tame turtles

Let it attach to turtles that you are riding

Swim up to its mouth and feed black Pearl's to tame

The note that the taming is non-violent is entirely on your part. The squid however, can be as violent as i danm wants

I’ve feared the ark ocean for a while now and this just brings a inky cherry on top

Use a Mosa to tame this beast. Let the Mosa get grabbed wait a couple seconds get off feed it black pearls. Have your mosa on follow lowest, swim a bit away from the Tuso after feeding it, when the Tuso lets go the Mosa will swim to you. Repeat until Tuso it tamed. Super easy!

If your scared of the ocean just get a dolphin nothing will attack it I killed a alpha mosa with just a dolphin this is sponsored by dolphin number 9756

Get a water Dino with a lot of health get grabbed go to its mouth and feed it black pearls go back on the Dino and wait until it’s hungry again and feed repeat until it’s done

Just tamed a 150 on an official server. Building a trap high off the ocean floor works great just trap it and rotate out 150 tamed turtles hp pumped. Took about 2 hours with pearls for the tame. Took 50 pearls every 5-10 min. Happy taming!

Be careful getting grabbed near the world border or else the squid can shove your tame through the wall deleting it from existence.

Don't bother wasting sweet veg cakes and risking high level dinos. Get it to grapple your mount, feed it, swim away with your mount on passive and follow, squid will let go after a while, wait above the squids aggro level until the feeding interval is up and then go back to feed it again. Rinse and repeat until tamed. You don't need to stay in the squids grasp for the whole time, affinity won't drop whilst you wait above it.

While taming note that you should enable first person on your character not your dino because if you accidentally swim upwards it will shift all attention toward you in third person it happened to me two or three times so to new players this is a tipe from me and also it does a crap ton of damage so if you bring a mosa say with a primitive saddle it should have 20k+ hp or just set dino damage to 0.1

OK so for those of you actually looking for tips.

1: it can eat 50 at a time so take 50 with you each time.

2: it hold mounts only for a little bit so if you can, just hop back on the turtle quickly and swim away till the next feeding

3: once you tame it beware manta s and anglers as the tuso cannot hit them while they glitch into the head of the squid. It's not that hard if you prepare to lose everything and keep trying. It's worth it once you do but you will need escorts to help with mantis and anglers such as megaladons.

For the person who said they only eat black pearls:they also eat meat.
