How to tame tuso

1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath

2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.

3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.

4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.

5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.

6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.

Read this, it might help you:

1: The best place to encounter tuso is 90-91 lat and cover all longitude from red ob to the end of herb Island.

2: Don't solo search, make a party and cover full bottom of the map.

3: Don't search in shallow water and surface, go for mid and deep sea.

4: They need to grab your tame then only can they be tamed.(Take Carbonemys with health and speed pumped)

5: They take 50 black pearls per serving.

6: They only agro in deep sea.

7: Last and the most important, the server must be brutal or their chance of spawning is not that much. Put server to brutal and for one day atleast go killingspree in ocean to open spawn spots for tuso.

8: Pump only melee and health to tuso.

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.

On crystal isles you can commonly find these guys near the shore with the text "does not want to be tamed right now". Dont fall for it,you can still tame it but its gonna a lot weirder than if it was completely underwater. First if you hit it with your tame (e.g carbonemys) riding or watching far away commanding it to attack it will stay still and not attack and afterwards it will be completely passive even if you attack it. First you need to get your tame close to the tuso (dont worry it wont aggro to you first), then attack and quickly run away. This way even though it normally wouldnt have wanted to grab your tame will still grab it since it is the nearest dino there is,afterwards feed it black pearls or cooked prime meat if you wanna go for a few more rounds. It wont do that much dmg to your tame if you feed it quickly,like not even 500 dmg.

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.
