Overview

Palaeoctopus is a water-dwelling carnivore known for its unique role in underwater resource gathering. It is carried by Tusoteuthis, allowing it to be transported aerially for strategic deployment. This makes it ideal for players needing efficient underwater Bio Toxin and chitin collection while benefiting from mobile support.

More about taming the Palaeoctopus

Palaeoctopus must be knocked out to tame. The most effective food is Black Pearl, which provides the highest affinity. Raw Mutton also works, though less efficiently. Use a Bow or Crossbow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola or Bear Trap. The process takes around 38 minutes with 84 Black Pearls. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering

Combat notes

Palaeoctopus takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making it highly vulnerable to defensive setups using them. It is also weak to instant damage sources, taking +120% more damage. However, it is fully resistant to Mining Drill Harvest damage. Focus on Health and Melee Damage for survivability.

The head has a 1.5× damage multiplier, making headshots effective for faster knockouts. Target this zone when sedating the creature.

Experience

The Blast attack gathers Bio Toxin at 3× efficiency, making it ideal for farming.

All tentacle attacks yield double resources from chitin and prime meat nodes.

It can be carried by Tusoteuthis, enabling aerial transport during operations.

While being carried, it retains full functionality for underwater harvesting.

Its high vulnerability to spike walls means it should never be used in direct combat near such defenses.

This page details the Palaeoctopus's taming, breeding, harvesting, weight reduction, and combat data. For precise calculations, refer to the taming calculator and spawn map tools available on-site.
