Gelantious Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 They are found deep down so gotta dive a bit to see them, then lure them up to the turtle you want to tame. You can trap the turtle, but beware that fishs will still spawn and attack the swarm during the taming process so gotta kill those. The trap may protect against the megalodons n such that would attack the turtle itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say just look at ones people have built on your server first, get some ideas from them. I'm sure they are using the traps for mosa as well, could probably even trap a tuso in one (donno if they damage stone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tame is also fairly bugged as the salmon spawn inside the turtle attacking swarm where you cannot kill it and either kills swarm or instantly kills turtle, it is why noone has event tames.

Seemed fairly smart to me, being the microbe swarms wouldn't follow people to the surface after a couple patches so they couldn't pull the microbes to the turtles, they had to pull the turtle down where they could tame them. in fact, here's one of the traps from a previous thread talking about them: thread can be found here: so yeah... maybe your right, some of them are mosa traps but people are using them as turtle traps as well.

caleb68 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 i play on official and so does my friend who tamed one, so ya, on official. I'm guessing the salmon spawn issue is a newer thing with one of the patches, but apparently its not happening all the time else my friend wouldn't of got theirs tamed. it however isn't a event turtle, just a high level.

RevinKevin420 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Wouldnt recommend trapping the turtles the fish will kill the swarm & you will hit the turtle with your sword. I have an underwater base nearish to moeder boss fight thing & i see soo many fish schools near there all the time. This would be the best spot to start looking for a swarm imo. Wish i could kill fish schools with a sword as they get very annoying near a base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
