Overview

The Shastasaurus is a large aquatic carnivore that inhabits the open ocean. It possesses a unique passive taming mechanic involving leech removal and baiting with tamed Ichthyosaurus. Once tamed, it excels as a mobile underwater transport and combat mount. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

This creature is frequently used for deep-sea exploration and hunting due to its agility and combat abilities in water.

More about taming the Shastasaurus

Shastasaurus passive taming uses nearby, conscious adult Ichthyosaurus from the player's team that are neither carried nor immobilized. Clearing all active leeches with a sickle opens a feeding window; feeding closes it and stops the Shastasaurus following the player.

Taming a Shastasaurus requires the Special Passive method. Lure it to the surface using 1-3 tamed Ichthyosaurus as bait. Dive beneath it and use a Sickle to remove three leeches from its belly. Feed it Extraordinary Kibble or Raw Prime Fish Meat at its mouth. Repeat the cycle until taming completes. More Ichthyosaurus nearby extend the time it stays surfaced. Taming takes about 20 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
