I found a beached one on crystal Isles an it said “does not want to be tamed right now” up if you find this true,

Tame turtles
Let it attach to turtles that you are riding
Swim up to its mouth and feed black Pearl's to tame

Please tell me why it says non-violent... Because when it grabs u and eats u alive it's not very non-violent...

Get a basilosaurus
CAUZE THEY ARE IMMUNE
TO HIS ATTACKS

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

How is the comment “you need two people” the top comment? Dudes retarded. I’ve tamed multiple 140+ solo at the same time with 1 mosa.

You need to sacrifice a creature to tame this. (I sacrificed my turtle for taming this guy)

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

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

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!

It says "Taming (non-violent) not because its a lie and this thing is really mean but because its a passive tame since you don't need to knock it out

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

These things are easy to tame on crystal isles if you can find one in the Arctic there’s these lighting water balls in the mountains and inside are hundreds of black pearls but careful of the lightening inside it don’t do much damage but slows you down and I drowned but the pearls are easy to get but these things are almost nowhere but a really good tame

When it says “non-violent” they ment the taming method this thing will wreck you

Don’t let it grab your tame when near the ocean floor. It’s mechanic while holding your tame makes it tilt in such a way that you are moved underground. Then the game rerenders you and your tame above the water. Lost a lvl 218 mosa instantly. Try and get the squid to go a little higher before trying to tame.

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!

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.

Listen clostly, dont lure them to the surrface or they wont want to be tamed. Second, it takes one 50 black pearl feeding. Third, they have to be holding onto something. DO NOT BRING PLATFORM SADDLES NEAR THE SQUID IT WILL GLITCH OUT.

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.

Whoever said feedings after the first one take less interval was full of BS. 13 minutes, each time.
