The Alpha Tusoteuthis is one of the Alpha Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info[]

Behavior[]

See Tusoteuthis.

Appearance[]

Identical to a regular Tusoteuthis, but larger and colored red. They have a matching red aura around them, which makes them easy to identify from a distance.

Color Scheme and Regions[]

This section displays the Alpha Tusoteuthis's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Alpha Tusoteuthis. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Alpha Tusoteuthis will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.

This information can be used to alter the Alpha Tusoteuthis's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Alpha Tusoteuthis's "body highlights" magenta.

Combat[]

This section describes how to fight against the Alpha Tusoteuthis.

General[]

Very dangerous and should be avoided until you have end game weaponry and high leveled mounts

Strategy[]

Use a high tier crossbow or multiple low end ones to shoot it while mounted. When it starts to flee drive your mount into it and start attacking; don't give it a chance to heal or you will die, attack with the mount and crossbow if it gets too far away. Alternatively, you can use a high level Basilosaurus to attack it. A high level Basilosaurus's health pool combined with its unique surface healing makes it easy to slowly drain the alpha's health. They are also immune to the shocks from any Cnidaria and Electrophorus that may attack you while fighting. (NOT recommended to fight with a crossbow)

Weaponry[]

Because of its massive health pool, killing an Alpha Tusoteuthis with hand-held weapons will take a long period of time. As with any other Tusoteuthis, the Alpha will avoid the surface, and will grab unmounted players, so only underwater ranged weaponry will be effective, such as the Crossbow, Harpoon Launcher, and Tek Rifle.

Can also damage Auto Turrets.

Dangers[]

It hits twice as hard as a normal Tusoteuthis, is extremely fast, and it can grab any creature except a Giganotosaurus and crush it to death. The Basilosaurus's unique immunity to movement-impairing effects also makes it immune to being grabbed.

Weakness[]

Attacks directed at its beak will inflict 3x damage.

Notes[]

  • Released in patch 253.0
  • Can grab you and drop you off outside world, be aware of this and stay away from the sea bed / world border!
  • Spinosaurus Spinosaurus are able to attack Alpha Tusoteuthis after being grabbed.
  • They are the largest Alpha creature on The Island.
