The Alpha Tusoteuthis is the superior version of a normal Tusoteuthis in Ark Survival Ascended. The Alpha version of any creature in Ark is scary and very tough to encounter. Facing this creature without preparation can be very dangerous.
This creature is found in 8 regions in Ark Survival Ascended. It is found near watery areas.
How to kill an Alpha Tusoteuthis?
Being an Alpha, the Alpha Tusoteuthis is extremely hard to take down solo, and you’ll almost always need some backup. We recommend using a Basilosaurus as this dino is very good at laying down damage and easily suppressing most aquatic creatures. Make sure you have a high-level saddle equipped as well.
Secondly, tame several Megalodon. We recommend at least 10 and take them into battle with you. These creatures always make quick work of most enemies. If you cannot find a Basilosaurus or Megalodons, try and beat the Alpha Tusoteuthis using tribes.
