How You Get One

method, in order
Passive Passive, fed Black Pearls — while it is crushing a mount of yours in its tentacles.

Step by step

  1. Ride a tanky mount in and let the Tusoteuthis grab it. It will not accept food unless it is holding a creature.
  2. Dismount, swim to its beak with Black Pearls in your last inventory slot, and feed it.
  3. Swim straight up and out of its reach. It will not take the next feed for at least 3 minutes, so retreat, wait, and repeat.

Also true

  • Unlike other passive tames, taking damage does not reset its taming affinity — a botched approach costs time, not progress.
  • Meat works at a fraction of the affinity; Black Pearls are the practical food.

Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.

Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.
