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

Don’t tame these anywhere near the world border. I got dropped out of bounds and my stuff deleted.

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

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

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. 🦂

I used a tame deino with a 96 asc saddle and 36k health . The only real hassle is the wait time between feeds . I fed a 150 once and then just kept swimming in circles till the food meter went down , usually takes about 500 less food Loss to be ready for next feed . Try to wipe out the area around , it’s a hassle when a random tuso can grab you and it’s stuck in the wall.

Let it attack your animal then feed it black pearls while it still has your animal if u do it quick your animal won’t die (have to have 50 pearls )

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

The beached tuso on crystal isles can be tamed you just have to hit it on few times while on your tame and stand infront of tentacles. It will put you through the mesh but when you get off youll pop back up feed pearls and repeat until tamed. Your tame will also pop back up when it lets go

FOR MOBILE PLAYERS!!! If u have soothing balm, then even for a lvl 150 of these, u just need 50 black pearls, so yeah, u only gotta feed it once, takes 2 seconds! Have fun!

You can use turtles to tame this but you will need some with a lot of health and good saddles

I think one of the easiest ways to get black pearls is to get a mosa keep leveling health and damage about 15K hp and 300-400 damage. Then find and destroy the alpha mosa. (you might want a saddle with good armor) Bring a Megalodon or other creature to the squid, once he is grabbed very quickly swim to the squid and feed the pearls you got from the alpha. That is how I have tamed my two squids and it works very well. (I play mobile so I don’t know in it will work on pc or xbox)

Use a Dunkleosteus instead, get 100 or 200 black pearls in your inventory (consumes 50 black pearls per feed)

It only took me 50 black pearls to tame a lvl 90 in single player, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than that in multiplayer

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!

My babies eat between 500-600 cooked food per hour. I increase my food refill time with them by 10 minutes till I feel comfortable leaving them alone for an hour at a time till juvenile. Usually have about 10 going at a time with as many tek troughs to take over. Hope this helps with anyone's raising.

When looking for these in shallower water fly above the water on an owl and use it’s heat vision. It’s a bit tricky because it’s hard to see where the water is, takes a bit of practice to avoid hitting the water and being dismounted, but you can see all the terrain under the water and creatures within render range will be easy to spot as glowing shapes. It’s much quicker to scan the coastlines on CI or Rag with an owl rather than trying to spot one in the murky depths while swimming on a basi or ichthy.

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