To find Tusoteuthis in ARK: Survival Evolved, look for them in the deep ocean waters. They are typically found in the deepest parts of the ocean. To tame Tusoteuthis, you can use a strong underwater mount like a Plesiosaur or Mosasaurus to trap and knock it out, then feed it Black Pearls.
Locating a Tusoteuthis
In ARK: Survival Evolved, Tusoteuthis, commonly known as the Giant Squid, can be found in the depths of the ocean. You can typically find Tusoteuthis residing in the deepest areas of the ocean, particularly around the depths of the ocean trenches. These creatures are known for their large size and aggressive behavior, making them a challenging but rewarding tame in the game.
Preparation for Taming
Before attempting to tame a Tusoteuthis, it is crucial to be well-prepared. Make sure you have a high-level underwater mount that can withstand the pressure and dangers of the ocean depths. It is also recommended to bring along scuba gear to help you navigate underwater. Additionally, having a strong underwater weapon, such as a crossbow or harpoon gun, will be essential in the taming process.
Trapping the Tusoteuthis
One effective method for taming a Tusoteuthis is to trap it using a taming pen. To create a taming pen, you can use large underwater gates, metal behemoth gates, or any strong structure that can withstand the squid's attacks. Position the gates in a way that allows the Tusoteuthis to swim inside but prevents it from escaping. Once the trap is set, lure the Tusoteuthis into the pen using yourself or a smaller creature as bait.
Knocking Out the Tusoteuthis
Once the Tusoteuthis is trapped inside the taming pen, it is time to knock it out. Aim for the creature's head, as this is its weakest spot. Use tranquilizer darts or arrows to weaken the Tusoteuthis and eventually render it unconscious. Be prepared for a challenging fight, as the Tusoteuthis has a high resistance to torpor and will require a significant amount of tranquilizers to knock out.
Taming the Tusoteuthis
After successfully knocking out the Tusoteuthis, you can begin the taming process. To tame the Tusoteuthis, feed it black pearls, which are its preferred food. Make sure to monitor its torpor and food levels during the taming process to ensure that it does not wake up or starve. The taming process can be lengthy, so be patient and vigilant throughout.
Protecting the Tusoteuthis
While taming the Tusoteuthis, it is important to protect it from outside threats, such as other aggressive underwater creatures or players. Keep a close eye on the surrounding area and be prepared to defend your taming pen and the unconscious Tusoteuthis from any potential dangers. Having a tribe or fellow survivors to help guard the taming process can be beneficial.
Completion of Taming
Once the Tusoteuthis is successfully tamed, you will have a powerful underwater mount and creature at your disposal. With its unique abilities and strength, the Tusoteuthis can be a valuable asset in underwater exploration and combat. Make sure to properly care for and maintain your tamed Tusoteuthis to maximize its potential in the game.
