Plesiosaur — Detailed Guide

The Plesiosaur is a large marine reptile with high health and a strong bite. It can carry a platform saddle, which makes it a moving base in the sea.

Where to find it

It swims in deep water on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame. Taming at sea is hard, so prepare a boat or raft. Its saddle unlocks at level 64. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Birth: a live birth, about 7 hours 56 minutes of gestation.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 4.8 days at 1x.

Uses

Ocean combat and an underwater platform for storage and defense.

Tips

Pair it with faster swimmers when you explore, because it is not quick.
