Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tusoteuthis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tusoteuthis.
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.
Found them lay on the beach in Crystal Isles. SO SO easily to tame I follow Nooblets on youtube and it came out working in unofficial server.
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.
Get a basilosaurus
CAUZE THEY ARE IMMUNE
TO HIS ATTACKS
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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).
While taming it, always go for the mouth in order to feed it. Learned that the hard way. 🦂
