The Tusoteuthis reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating.Incubation temperature must stay between -75°C and 75°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

The baby Tusoteuthis takes approximately 7 days and 17 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game.During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly.From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors.Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Tusoteuthis's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1111 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~74h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~93h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Tusoteuthis gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Tusoteuthis babies through all three growth stages.Budget ~1111 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Tusoteuthis babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations.Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

The Tusoteuthis, a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps.

Its base Stamina of 300 gives it average stamina.Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Tusoteuthis brings solid damage output to the table.With 2,700 base Health, the Tusoteuthis is a proper tank.It carries 800 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the Tusoteuthis doesn't require unconsciousness.Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food.Its preferred food is Basic Augmented Kibble.

After taming, the Tusoteuthis provides safe and efficient underwater traversal with good utility.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -75°C and 75°C.A wild Tusoteuthis is worth 100 base experience when killed.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
