The Alpha Mosasaur is a huge creature in Ark Survival Ascended that can be found roaming the depths of oceans. Being an Alpha, this creature spawns rarely and is among the four alphas living underwater.
In this guide, we will cover everything there is to know about the Alpha Mosasaur, including how you can kill it, if you can tame it, and also where you can find it.
How to kill an Alpha Mosasaur?
The best way to kill an Alpha Mosasaur is to use another dinosaur in Ark Survival Ascended. Being an Alpha variant, Alpha Mosasaurs have a lot of health and can quickly take you down. Since this dino is found in the water and surfaces to heal itself, you’ll want a dinosaur that prevents this. We recommend going with a Basilosaurus. A pair of tamed Basilosaurus with high-level saddles ensures that the Mosasaur never has enough time to heal.
We also recommend attempting to take down high-level Alpha Mosasaurs with tribes. Having more muscle on your side is always a good idea and will ensure victory. Make heavy use of heals such as cooked meats to prevent your health from dipping too much, and you will have no problem taking this creature down.
Can you tame an Alpha Mosasaur?
It is not possible to tame Alpha Mosasaur. Instead, they can be killed to harvest fishing rods, raw prime fish, raw prime meat, and special Loots such as Alpha Mosasaur Tooth and Fireworks Rocket Launcher Skin.
Low-level Alpha Mosasaurs can be overpowered easily with tamed Mosasaur making them easy to be killed. On the other hand, high-level alphas require thorough planning and strategy.
