Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tusoteuthis.
Honestly the best place to find a Tuso is the western part of Ragnarok, at roughly 50,10. There is a medium sized trench that houses at least a dozen. Here's an easy way to tame.
1) Grab something to breathe underwater. (Scuba or a tek helmet)
2) Grab a beefed up tame with good hp. (I use a Shadowmane because they breathe underwater and have insane natural armor)
3) Let the Tuso Grab your tame and while it's latched, swim up and feed it one stack of 50 black pearls. It has to be 50. Any type of meat will take you 3 hours compared to a couple minutes.
4) Rinse and repeat. Be prepared to die, taming a Tuso for the first time isn't super easy but remember not to panic. Clear the area out around the Tuso you want to tame first and then try.
For the stuck squid on the crystal isles beaches; it is tameable. Eat a Rare Flower to aggro it and you can passive tame it normally!
If you are on mobile and want to tame one you can use 10X and cooked prime meat or raw meat for a decent or easy tame
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.
Mosasaur is the Giga of the sea you say? Well this here scurvy kraken is the titanosaur of the sea! Get in yonder boat and flee! Or you'll end up like me!
Don’t believe the comments saying you need 2 minimum tribe mates to tame this. It can be easily solo tamed i like to use two turtles one to sit on and one for bait. Let it grab the bait turtle then feed the tuso and jump back on your safe turtle and whistle the bait turtle back and just repeat.
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.
***Easiest Way To Tame A Squid***
1. Tame a Carbonemys and level all point to health
2. Go to Crystal Isle and find tuso on the beach at the edge of the map (top left, bottom left, top middle and bottom middle of the map is where tuso mostly spawn). With these method you dont have to swim deep underwater to find one.
3. After you find a tuso, place your carbonemys infrontof its mouth but not too close so you can reach the mouth later on without your carbo blocking it.
4. hit the swuid until it grab your carbo and feed it black pearl.
5. Easy tame.
You dont need to go deep underwater and deal eith mosas,megs,plesio, and other stuff.
Don’t make the mistake of attacking it with an itchy and thinking it won’t attack back it will, even if it says it don’t want to be tamed now and it annoys you don’t attack
Found out today that when taming one you can have it grab wild dinos instead of your own tames, I had a beached one grab a wild trike and tamed it with that
If you find a beached one on Crystal Isles and it doesn't want to be tamed, park your turtle inside its tentacles. Get off, swim up to its beak and punch it till it grabs the turtle. Then feed it pearls from your last inventory slot...free squid.
Let tuso grab tamed at max height for tuso to swim up. Feed tuso have tame on follow swim up wait for 1000 food to burn. Don’t do the timer
Always go to the max height the tuso will swim up. Makes it easier to feed and swim up.
All you have to do to tame one of these is search the deep ocean find a open space and go on a killing spree until you find one. After you find one you just let it grab your mount (Many suggest turtles) then go to its mouth and feed it meat or black pearls (more than 50).
Don't tame the squid around the world barrier or the sea floor. If you attempt to tame it, one mastercraft saddle on a 30k turtle should get you through four feedings without force feeding veggie cakes. Drive a raft over and set your turtle to follow you on Passive. Ride the turtle down with your 50 pearls and let the squid come to you, get as close to the max depth for the squid as possible. When the squid grabs your turtle, jump off spam A at its beak. Hold A to ascend quickly upwards and if you had the squid at max depth the turtle should be able to follow you back up without being grabbed again. Set a timer for 10 minutes at the surface and when the timer has about a minute left start your descent to find the squid again. Rinse and repeat. Brought three turtles using this strategy, only one left the raft and all three turtles survived.
While taming it, always go for the mouth in order to feed it. Learned that the hard way. 🦂
To tame the beached squids on crystal isles you need to swim a turtle in the middle of its tentacles and then punch it in the beak, thank me later!
Use a Dunkleosteus instead, get 100 or 200 black pearls in your inventory (consumes 50 black pearls per feed)
Here’s how to tame a tusoteuthis .
Tame a high level turtle, tame male and female basilosaurus and mate them. Hop on your imprinted basilosaurus. Make scuba gear and swim to the bottom of the ocean they are around herbivore island points are 91.1,90.0. First you have to swim around find some euryptids and eat them if you have really good pike use that. Then take your turtle out of the cryopod and swim up to it let it grab your turtle hop off and swim up to its beak feed it the 50 black pearls and feed. If level 20 or more it will need more black pearls.
That’s how to tame a tusoteuthis!
On Ragnarok, go to 50,10. Go down and towards the end of the map. Let a tuso grab your mount (I used a good Barry. And feed it the black peals. There can be dozens of squid there, so be carful.
