Fast Tusoteuthis Taming Guide :: Ark : Survival Evolved Tips and Tricks

Due to an update changing taming times, times and quantity of food mentioned during that section are approximately halved.

[@turkeyplayspc5326]

My man's took the time to go back to a six month old video and comment a helpful tip. Respect.

[@Engravi0n]

what's your taming multiplier?

[@deeptikochhar2246]

Please tell that will squid take 25 pearls per feed now and interval timings please

[@monatelly4555]

Tuso still takes stacks of 50, but to find exact times use dododex. To get black pearls, get a scuba tank, go to rag, and dive around 30 lat 10 lon. There's 3-4 shipwrecks, which all contain black pearls, at the very bottom of the ocean in this area.

[@dead5kull3D751]

Your channel is too underrated, you don't have enough views and subscribers for the great amount of work and love you put in your videos, what are you doing people, help this guy

[@simonsayzgaming4834]

[@toaster4193]

Ay, big squid hours

[@vale18]

BEWARE!! in singleplayer, if you swim out of render distance they will despawn, so don't swim too far away, bring extra scuba and a tame you can mount up on and follow it while staying above its swim ceiling so it doesn't attack you, always keeping it in range and rendered, prepare a timer or stopwatch and bring extra turtles (fodder) in case the first one dies OR if it's not ready to feed yet when you get grabbed on the 2nd one and it dies too, and have to try a 3rd time a minute later. As of the taming time changes, in singleplayer with default settings and [max difficulty, and singleplayer checked] a 100 will tame with a single feed, instantly and result in a level 149. A level 105 - 150 will require 2 feedings, therefore for your first tame try to get a 100 to get you started. Due to the continued cost of x50 black pearls per feed, don't bother with anything under 140 after your first squid. Your first squid will make taming plesios and mosas a breeze, you can grab them and swim them up above their swim ceiling, closer to the surface at which point they stop biting and just continue to try to swim down, rendering them passive, and as your squid holds them, it will continue to deal torpor without damage until they become unconscious.

Underrated comment, thank you for this info

[@maijaaarilova6812]

I play on mobile and instant tamed a tuso that was levelled 290! X10 soothing balm is the way to go in hard mode as it makes things WAY too easy. I let him grab onto my Bary. First I go scouting with my Ichy and when I find one I go to herb island and take my bary that lures the tuso into the surface. I know mobile and pc are different - on mobile the tuso will not stop following you until you get onto land, then it’ll continue to lurk near the surface till you let it grab your mount. I’ve tamed 2 so far. Both males, one was levelled 260 and the recent one was 290, again, all of which were instant tames due to soothing balm. If there is anyone here that is reading this and plays mobile, when the tuso sees you, do not stop going to the surface. When you get on the beach, check if it’s behind you. If it’s not, do not, I repeat DO NOT go back where you first saw him bc the chances are he’s very close just out of render distance. Trust me when I say this, once the tuso sees you and you confirm he’s going in your direction, he will not stop. This is on mobile, just a quick reminder. Once he sees you again, swim fast to surface and boom. He will be there waiting for you to tame him. Do some cave runs for the x10 soothing balm bc you only literally need x50 black pearls. Without the soothing balm, it will take longer to tame, think you’d need to do it either 2/3 times.

I got really lucky and found a max level on the island. I tamed it perfectly, but then I came across more than a few alphas on my way to base. It also didn't help that it was my first successful tuso tame and therefore I had no idea how to control it. 😅

[@victor.novorski]

IT DIED !?!

[@Nonessentialsquid]

Lmao

[@kathleenwest1463]

A couple of tanking turtles will do this nicely, too. Feed the Teuso a turtle who is on passive/follow,, swim up and feed the squid, chill on the other until your first turtle comes back. If need be, you can heal turtle 1 while you wait to be able to feed the teuso again. Falling off a log easy.

[@Limrasson]

Having a Basilosaur and possible a raft with healing pigs or snowy owl to heal turtle up would be nice too. Basilo is good if something goes wrong, which often does when one is in the water.

[@bwalk7626]

I use a frog when taming squid, they follow back faster to avoid a second grab and u can heal them with meat between feedings ;) also taming at a pearl cave makes life easy

[@mgdips7030]

Your tips made me tame a lot of dinos like the argen and etc

[@stephanee5858]

Great explanation, thanks

[@myusername3689]

Tip: Tame a basilosaurus before you tame this, the basilo will easily get rid of bio toxin injecting creatures near the tuso.

[@-._YourAverageDinosaurFan_.-]

Ok so, if your mount clips through the world, use a flying tame if near the border, and go the opposite direction or fly into the air(again if near the border) with your tame on follow and it will load in following you before the rocks do. allowing it to clip through the unloaded rocks and follow you when you're in the sky by going under your flier or your current location. For the border and under the world, there is no chance.

[@johnnyr2646]

I use a basil for my ride with a pair of dunkie or turtles following on passive. Safest seat in the ocean is on the back of a basil. You don't want to get hit by those tentacles. Even a low level will one shot your scuba gear and the Tuso nor anything else that may spawn while you're taming can knock you off.

If your rates are good you can easily tame a tuso. All you need is a high level dunkleosteus with a high armor saddle. Pump all of the levels into HP and just get grabbed and tame the tuso. Make sure to have COOKED MEAT with you as it's the beat way to heal a dinosaur without mods. Keep force feeding the dunkleo until you have tamed the tuso. Make sure to not glitch under the map tho

Couldn't you just use this guy to knock out the dunky?

[@Tecorsuh]

You can, but there are a few reasons why I didn't recommend it in my Dunkleosteus video or any of my other aquatic creature videos. For example, the saddle engram for the Tusoteuthis isn't learned until level 91, one of the last saddle engrams learnable in the game. Dunkleosteus saddle, for example, is learned at level 44. Also, the rate at which the torpor is applied is very slow. The Dunkleosteus in particular is a bad matchup for that. It already takes less damage, has a high torpor, and has a fairly high torpor recovery, so you'll end up waiting for 20+ minutes while waiting for the Dunkleosteus to pass out. This is also hugely dependant on the level difference between the two creatures, but even so it takes quite a while. If you don't mind the waiting and have a Tusoteuthis ready to go then it is worthwhile to do.
