How to tame Plesiosaur in Ark Survival Ascended: Spawn locations, best kibble, and more

When embarking on a seafaring journey, one of the most accessible dinosaurs in Ark Survival Ascended is the Plesiosaur. While they may not be as sturdy as the Tusoteuthis or as powerful as Mosasaurs, a lower-level Plesiosaur can still make a great addition to your ocean taming collection thanks to its versatility and the option to equip it with a platform saddle.

Where to Locate Plesiosaur in Ark: Survival Evolved Ascension

To locate a Plesiosaur in Ark Survival Ascended, scuba gear must be worn and you must venture into the depths of the ocean. Unlike other underwater creatures in this game, the Plesiosaur is exclusive to ocean habitats and cannot be found near bays or rivers.

Some of the typical areas where Plesiosaur can be found in Ark Survival Ascended’s Island map are:

1. Heading north from The Dead Island, continue in that direction to explore the underwater barriers at the edge of the map.
2. Be sure to explore the two underwater caves located at the south-eastern edge of the Island map. You may even spot a Plesiosaur in the surrounding area.

Plesiosaurs are frequently an added bonus for players who are harvesting Pearls in the ocean.

If you are playing on a private server, you may also have the option to use Ark Survival Ascended console commands to spawn them.

Mastering the Plesiosaur in Ark Survival Ascended

In the game Ark Survival Ascended, taming Plesiosaurs is a challenging task, just like any other deep sea creature. One must consider the level difference and ensure they have enough narcotics or biotoxin to counter the fast decrease in its Torpidity. Fortunately, Cnidaria, which are abundant in areas where Plesiosaurs reside, can be harvested for biotoxins.

Some typical methods for taming are:

• Make sure you have a Crossbow or Harpoon equipped with tranquilizer rounds, as any other weapons will not be effective underwater.
• Although Plesiosaurs will not pursue you to the surface, they can be attracted to the entrance of underwater caves. When done effectively, this makes the process much easier.
• With a mobile tame that can swim underwater, you have the ability to continuously lure a hostile Plesiosaur by circling around it.
• If you do not have a mobile tame that can swim underwater, you can use a raft to lure the Plesiosaurs from the surface of the water. Once you reach the surface, it will lose interest in you and swim away. You can take advantage of this by constantly moving in and out of its aggro range and shooting it with tranq rounds.

Top Kibble Choices for Taming a Plesiosaur in Ark Survival Evolved

Although Plesiosaurs favor Superior Kibble, if you happen to not have any kibbles available, Raw Mutton and Raw Primed Meat can serve as suitable substitutes.
