Basilasauras is King of capturing these due to it can't be grabbed by tuso kill the ones you don't want and use a turtle as a decoy while taming
Tusoteuthis
The Tusoteuthis is a massive, aggressive squid found in the depths of the oceans. In battle, the Tusoteuthis can grab its prey and knock it unconcious, siphoning its blood to gain health. Once tamed, the ink from a Tusoteuthis can be used as a constant Oil source. Some survivors choose to hunt the Tusoteuthis for its Oil.

What ARK players use the Tusoteuthis for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you're on the center and try to grab a mosa near the air bubbles... Be careful. You'll grab it and can accidentally push the mosa through the air bubble insta killing a 150 mosa :(
I have my whole server fearing the depths... who needs turrets when ya way these down on aggressive
Very good at collecting bio toxin, with your aoe attacks you can kill jellyfish groups easily without getting stung by them since your tentacles aren't "attackable" and even If you get stung you won't drop off your Tuso
Not many people use Tuso's for this but they are a fantastic way to get loads of oil. Simply find Basilosaurus's in the ocean and munch them. Just be careful for manta hordes you can get stuck easily.
Open water tank it gets stuck all the time
Dos not spawn a lot and is a good oil resource
Found out they dont attack you if your on a itchy u can still balm them and feed them. Just gotta wait for them to eat something. I killed one cause they dont fight back when ur on the itchy

This is like a giga under water. But make sure not overestimate the underwater caves, even though the squid is strong they really made the caves difficult. Go with a group!
I think they are awesome. I only have two low level ones but they can wreck almost anything. I have just started breeding and the egg has hatched so when he is imprinted he will dominate the sea!!!!
It drops a lot of fish prime and I mean A LOT
They have huge hp pools, however they can get so swarmed by anglers that they get trapped inside and cannot be hit and slowly kill it. Keep a plieso or 2 on following and they can help keep your hitbox open.
If u want to breed them in an enclosed nursery, it has to be VERY BIG & VERY DEEP!
im told the 'hitbox' of the baby is as big as the adult, so we thought that was why an egg wouldn't leave the underwater incubator. However, after rebuilding the space big…

im told the 'hitbox' of the baby is as big as the adult, so we thought that was why an egg wouldn't leave the underwater incubator. However, after rebuilding the space big enuf to hold 2 adults, it still wouldn't hatch @ a depth of 4 walls.
Found lvl 100 near the outer edges of the map. Wish meh luck
Why does no one use these things to tame? You can easily tame anglers or even spinos/rexes on the shore! Completely resource free! Amazing!
If one pushes you under the mesh hop off soon as it grabs and whistle your tame passive and to follow.Or suffer the consequences.
These are a little weaker than mosas in the base damage department but they can't be grabbed by other squids and jelly stings don't eject you from the saddle like the mosa so most ppl prefer squids
ITS EVIL I TELL U EEEVIIIILLLL.
Tusos are immune to jellyfish stings, which make them great for collecting bio-toxin.
These are awesome! One thing to know is they can’t attacks enemies close up easily so eels and anglers can get you pinned in place. Use the grab to damage them all slightly and the anglers should run away for a bit. Then take care of the eels or run if you can to a better…
These are awesome! One thing to know is they can’t attacks enemies close up easily so eels and anglers can get you pinned in place. Use the grab to damage them all slightly and the anglers should run away for a bit. Then take care of the eels or run if you can to a better position. Almost lost a high level tuso today to this odd hit box. They aren’t completely immune to the jellyfish but you won’t get dismounted. Also if you grab an enemy and attack while grabbed it will drain life from the creature and heal faster.
