I fear no man But that... Thing... Cnidaria It scares me

Aka the ones I won’t get because Subnautica gave me PTSD

I think the sarco is an underrated tame. It's fast and you can use weapons while on it, not to mention it can easily beat alpha megas if you just keep circling around the tail and striking, which comes to its next strength, fast attacks and good speed.

I think the sarco could be on the list as it’s very fast and you can shoot from the back, easing taming dinos like mosas or plesios, they are basically faster megalodons that can also go on land 👌 Edit: you can also dismount players in smaller tames with the deathroll

These remind me of the days I bred tusos and Mosas for fun

U forgot, Tuso will also regenerate health when it grabs on a Dino and attacks it

I think the Basilo is my nr1 underwater tame. It does everything. Great HP, good damage, immunity from stun, fast enough, small enough, kills everything in the ocean. It's the Argent of the sea.

Update: Bolas won't work on Baryonix' anymore.

Rip using bolas for a baryonyx, I found that out the hard way :)

The title: You should get these fish The thumbnail: But should you?

Love the vids, on a binge of them right now, even though i have nearly 400 hours (nearly nothing considering the time you pour into official servers) but getting refreshers on the dinos is really great, and i learn a lot from these short "top _ " discussions

Another cool fact about tusoes is that when they have something grabbed you can still keep attacking and even tho it deals less damage, you get healed for somewhere around 100hp each hit

I just wanted to say this, the Ichthyosaurus is probably the easiest aquatic tame because you can passive tame them AND their saddles dont cost much at all AND they are decently fast

It’s really enjoyable to see someone pronounce every Dino with confidence

Great video dude, helped a lot!

You forgot to mention that mosas take damage from Cnidaria but you don't get dismounted,also Cnidaria do agro on mosas

Just found this dude and been binwacthing him

Great list! Definitely a worthwhile watch.

You can download Dododex to find almost everything about stats taming, recipes, and more

Love the thoroughness, thanks.

The baryonyx is actually no longer able to be tamed using a bola which makes them a lil harder than a raptor and similar to a carno imo

First off, clever name. :) I never really liked the Tuso, until I tamed my first one(rather than using a tribemate's) due to the movement and turning 180 degrees to attack, but it's really a fun tame once you get used to how they operate.

this is the best ark channel! ive been binged watching all week

Just started playing a month or so ago. Been binging your videos and a few others to learn all I can.

If you're watching this in 2022 then you should know that you can no longer bola the Baryonyx. I learned this the hard way.

Awesome video man, super helpful.

You're my favorite ark KZfaqr by a mile!!

I was just looking at the merch and it looks really cool I love the colors you used

Good video man

Basies are amazing! Mine can tank and kill an alpha tuso. I use my beast Baryonyx to tame basies, I can kill the entire manta swarm with two spins. Then you just jump off and shove the kibble on the basie. Love these two tames and my Thyla!

Definitely Barys for number 1, they kill AND harvest the kill in the same bite! I always use a team of 4 Barys and usually call them Seal Team Six coz they go anywhere and kill everything.

pterafier: I recommend using a Dunkleosteus with a good saddle on it to tame a tusoteuthis me, an intectual: I prefer to use a dolphin or my friends

Crystal Isles has Dunkys and Tusos on the beach. Go to the bottom left corner island and fly over the shore areas of that island to look for beached Tuso (got both mine there, used a Rex to bite the beached tuso while I ran up to the mouth to tame -this took a while cuz it didn’t want to attack because it’s beached, but after biting it for a while it retaliated and was tamed). Got my Dunkys from the beach nearest the dune desert near the charge node. Was charging my batteries and making element when I spotted their fins poking out of the water, so I trapped and tamed them with Dino gates.

I personally like Basilosaurus as on most if not all maps, Basilosaurus's deepest depth it can go to is the start of where a Tuso (the squids) will spwan

I've been hearing some people say the Bassi got a bit of a nerf recently, in that the damage it takes when going deep is a bit more serious now. Between that and the megalodons now getting a bleed attack, you might want to watch your Bassi's health a bit more carefully these days.

I am liking your content very much👐🏼

I really like the spawn maps. Hardcore info. Thanks

who else is just binge watching all of his videos and absorbing all the knowledge before they buy the game

I bred a bloodstalker with good dmg, health, stam, and oxygen. Those things can swim very fast underwater and can glide across the surface of water quickly. They can also allow you to shoot while riding them. Really versatile

my favorite water tame is the tuso. the attack is also good for dealing with shark swarms.

Very well made video thanks

One way to tame creatures from the deep is by attracting them to the surface, they will start to run away from you so you can bug them on a rock, after about 2 minutes they will be aggressive again

Frog is my early go to stamina doesn't drain in water and pushing A(on xbox) while in water shoots you straight to surface good for deep water when scuba tank breaks

While I was getting silica pearls from the depths I saw a small shadow of a tentacle getting closer to me and immediately got on my megaladon and when I turned to see if it was still chasing me I saw it lost interest but dang that was close

7:48 there goes your kibble!

Not even an honorary sarco mention. They’re amphibious, have one of the highest base movement speeds while in the water, and anyone with raw meat, a crossbow and tranq arrows, a raft with a bed on it, and a dream can tame them. A pack of four high level sarcos straight bully megs.

That bottom right square on rag should actually be green as that spawn location can only spawn the mosa - 2 guaranteed mosa at all times (leaving render and coming back is nearly an instant respawn, excellent place for farming alphas)

Thanks for the content.

For the Tuso I have used a megalodon with high health the trick to taming these things is be fast and almost any tame will work as you only have to feed the Tuso once if you have enough black pearls

I found a level 22 Basilosaurus (high for me because I am on easy mode on mobile) in the shallows in south of the "stonehenge" area, I killed all the mantas with my sword however with full flak (mastercraft chest piece, ramshackle and apprentice everything else except primitive gauntlets) my gauntlets broke to the mantas and I lost half my health (there were four low level mantas) I was then able to tame the Basilosaurus and it is super helpful.

Not sure how I haven't found this channel before!! He isn't cringy. He is direct and not trying to pander to 10 year olds. Nice

i know im late but thanks for the tips bc i went underwater to tame a tuso/giant squid and used the basilosaurus and was wondering why it would not hold on it

Exactly the video I was looking for! Amazing as always!

The Shadowmane is surprisingly awesome in the water

very helpful

The Bary is the best tame for most land caves too

The thing is the dunk would be one of my favorite water mounts if it was actually a little faster.

I'm enjoying my single player ASA life so much, that I would just settle for a couple of ichthy's & 4 or 5 Megs. I've run into Baryonix a few times and would die happy if I am never in the water with any of the other top four you mentioned. ✌️ 😅

Good list here im a big fan of the dunky to be honest got pretty far underwater with it before i got a better tame

I tamed a lvl 255 which turned into a lvl 360 when I was level 20 because it ate my frog which I also didn’t have a saddle for.

Just a side note in contest with other posters: Sarcos are good beginning tames but they have the same issue as the Mosa and Pleiso; they need to be facing the thing they are attacking and the turn radius is just disgusting. This is why the Basilo is the best overall underwater tame (barring an experience with the Tuso, which I have not tamed yet). You don't need to move or face your attackers on the Basilo. Just chill and fight. It doesn't get better than that. Also I think its one of the only underwater dinos that doesnt need to worry about jellys. Not even the mosa can claim that.

I recently tamed a lvl 145 basilosaurus and the only other water creature I had at that point was a low lvl dolphin and i also didn’t have any water gear or even a fabricator and I’m still surprised tbh

Good sadle on a Dunko that you tamed and cranked hordes HP into, would that be a good sacrificial mount to use? I could see someone grabbing like level 5 Dunk and spending the time to level it and purely crank all points into it's HP so it's just a behemoth of a tank.

Basilasaur are very common on crystal ilsands i gound like 1 in each shallow pond. All you need is kibble or meat like fish meat

thanks for this video

On rag I'm on my raft to get oil, silicone pearls, chitin and whatever else trilobites drop and I come across 1 or 2 basils each time I thought they were not good but I underestimated them

Lucky for me there is a huge swarm of manta right off the shore and I think I saw an icthy chilling near them

Best video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

FYI Baryonyx CANNOT be restrained by bolas anymore, making them notably more difficult to tame, especially at lower levels.

the beginning of this video's music gave me pstd because it sounds like my alarm

Him:it’s kinda harder cause there is always gonna have mantas Me:*laughing from my level 256 baryonyx*

i think the sarco should get a honorable mention bc of its speed and ability to shoot from its back

I know this is an older video, so I won't fault you, but the barry got a buff that renders it immune to bolas.

I love the tuso they're literally my favorite tame in the whole game but they arent as useful because in most maps there is absolutely no reason to go underwater

When I first started ark I thought the manta was friendly and got close and took a moment to attack me I thought it was nice like the scary dolphin

Nice verry Nice

I think your Mosa spawn map doesn´t have any locations marked at "the island" besides one that is placed on land

Thanks for your videos, they’ve helped this boomer want to play again.

I reckon the Sarco is pretty good it has a deathroll it easy to tame and have decent health and is common

The fact that mobile does not have any underwater caves makes it harder to find these guys

Dunk best use is for gathering obsidian. Has 75% weight reduction on obsidian.

Bassi's are definitely the best regardless of this list, immunity from shocking, can't be grabbed, insulation bonus, massive health making it a great tank, passive tame, produces oil, able to stay stationary and kill almost 360 degrees around it so being surrounded is no big deal. In my opinion easily one of the most op dinos of ark.

Basilo will always be my go-to water tame. Nothing else matters to me

So, I was about to quit ark altogether after being wiped by level 29473627 turret covered quetz over and over. Then I realized. Everyone mutates OP flyers, and flyers are useless in water. So thanks to this video I'm kind of solo dominating the ocean :)

Basilo can't get "grabbed" buy a Tuso, but u can still get stuck in its tentacles, so it kinda works the same way.

ur a legend

I love that 3 out of the 5 are all in the same place on the island, should make things easier right! right??

The reason the basilosaurus is op is because irl it literally was known as “the killer whale” it ate relatives of the elephant in seaside mangrove swamps. And other whales

deinosuschus is good too , its pretty fast and does ALOT of damage i know this is a list for all platforms but if you can get mods then you should 100% get it

What's the song in the background in the beginning? It's super chill

Ark mobile soothing balm: allow me to introduce myself

Surprisingly rhynios can whoop ass in the ocean.... Made short work of everything in the sea(i know they are broken) only downside, they will straight up ditch you if get dismounted.. They hate being in water

I would also add that the tuso can grapple even an alpha mosa and bring it into shallow water where it will not agro.

I think one of my biggest questions about water tames is that I try to listen for in videos in these while I’m working in the office is the safety. Like I know about the basilo being immune to knock offs / can’t be grappled, can’t be electrocuted. But what about like the mosa? Can the mosa be electrocuted? ?

the maps were SOOO useful

To start exploring the oceans would you recommend the Bary still or should I try and tame something like a meg before I try and go deeper?

The reason I like the Mosa is because of the very dope looking Tek Saddle

I know this video is a year old but for anyone else that watches this video in late 2021 and beyond, I learned the hard way that the Bola doesn't work on this creature. However, if you have access to the harpoon gun and nets, the Baryonyx can be trapped in the net and be knocked out quite easily,

Dam that mosasaur has harpoons all over him he ain’t messing around everyone in trouble
