Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tusoteuthis.
Won't attack you 'til you attack it. If you find some washed up on the shore take a rex or something else you have with high HP (10k HP+) and let it grapple onto it - while it's grappled jump off your mount and go in between tentacles to feed. It'll let go of your mount on its own after a while.
No raw prime
Tip for finding in mobile: you can use tidy save to clear up the spawns
(This rip also applys to other rare Dino’s like the quetzal, the mosa and the giga)
How to easy Tuso tame on mobile: do hunt megapirrahnah for 10x balm and get scuba gear. Then, find a Tuso and wait for it to grab a turtle. After that it’s easy taming.
Don't bother searching for black pearls in Ark Mobile! Feed the squid a stack of cooked prime meat after giving it soothing balm!
(This works well on easy servers, check gamepedia for how many stacks it'll need with soothing balm)
Take a raft (make sure there aren’t any Leedsichthys around!) then put a chest on the raft full of black pearls and take 50 at a time. An take a lot of Carbonemys or a basilo and tame. Beware the weight of the pearls!
If you are taming on small tribes a 150 goes to 72% with a single feed. After the feed give it a bat juice and boom insta tame 150 100%. Can use shadowmane. The thorns doesn't mess with the taming
How to Tame a tuso without any casualties.
1. Be ready with a balm and black pearls. You want to have it tamed instantly or you can end up with a dead tame. Use Cooked Prime meat if compromise.
2. Agro them back to coast
3. Have it grab a Tame with high hp.
4. Feed it as fast as possible
Uses:
1: Oil Generator
2: Good Tame overall
3: Can Carry Ankys and has high weight
4: Tank. They have significantly high hp and Damage. You should ride them otherwise the AI will mess up a lot.
How to tame except I actually have grammar
Get a turtle and level up health. 5,000+ should be good.
Get 50 black pearls and a cryopod with your turtle in it.
Take a fast sea mount (ichthyosaurus would be fine) and start searching for tuso. (They spawn at the bottom of the ocean)
If you can't find one go on a killing spree with a mosasaur or whatever to open up spawn spots
After a bit start searching again and when you find one deploy your turtle and have the tuso grab it. This should be easy since they're aggressive. When it grabs the turtle, go near it's beak and feed it the pearls.
And now you have a tuso!
The interval between the 1st and 2nd feed is actually more like 22 minutes! If you attempt 2nd fees before that time it will grab and not let go!!
Upvotw so people know!!
use a turtle to let the beast grab and will it's sucking it go and feed it the black pearls
U can pickup their eggs. U don't need to get a gacha now (to pick them up) :)
They are passive tames with bald pearls but there’s a catch it needs to be grabbed onto one of your tames so you can feed it. (Mobile)
Go tame 1 or 2 turtles and bring them with u and make it go near the squid if it doesn't latch on make it attack it and then when it latches on (make sure black pearls are in last slot) feed it by going up to its mouth u have to swim up the tentacles. (I would recommend killing everything nearby that's hostile btw)
Tame it using stupid carbonemy
I looked around the whole island for one and the of course when I got home there was one right in front of my base floating around
A decent sarco can tank the squid and since tlc sarcos spawn nearly everywhere it should be easy enough to get one let it tank feed swim up repeat enjoy your new squid
Best way I found is to have a good spino with levels pumped into health (preferably at least 20k) and a good saddle if you can. You let the squid grab the spino, you wait a few seconds, then hop off feed it the pearls, make sure the spino is of follow and swim straight up. Just rinse and repeat until taned
Actually it's super easy to tame on crystal island just throw a turtle out in front of it tentacles and and feed it black pearls easy way to tame them.
Very terrifying to tame cause you have to put yourself right in front of its beak while it has its way with your dino, but once you get it consider yourself master of the deep
