Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Regens health fast near the surface.
Gradually loses health when deep.
Passive oil generator.
Immune to electrophorus and Cnidaria stun and dismount effects.
Cannot be grabbed by tusoteuthis.
Passive Tame.
Why is this passive?! This has tons of hp and melee. Actually, on second thought… ark, please keep this passive!
When taming this, be careful, Mantas and sharks follows a basilosaurus around and will attack you if you approach or feed the basilosaurus. According to the Basilosaurus dossier, Mantas usually follow them because of their eating habits (Well very messy) and it leaves plenty of leftovers for them. They attack you when you feed a basilosaurus because it leaves no leftovers for them.
I believe the dossier, but yeah.
Click the arrow pointing to the sky if useful, thanks 😊 (Sorry for the dossier spoiler)
Tame:
1. Grab an Ichthyosaurus.
2. Put Meat desired by Basilosaurus in your Hot Bar.
3. Ride Ichthyosaurus.
4. Put Basilosaurus-desired Meat Type in Basilosaurus's mouth.
5. Repeat.
6. When tamed, Megalodon/Mantas/Ichthyosauruses-in-wild will follow Basilosaurus.
7. Once Basilosaurus is in a safe spot, Basilosaurus can kill predators.
8. PROTECT ICHTHYOSAURUS FROM CARNAGE!!! I MADE THAT MISTAKE AND REGRETTED IT.
Ride dolphin or manta, water creature won't attack you while riding a water dino, then go near basilo feed it, Don't unride or you'll see your self dying, put food on your hot bar then click it when near basilo u can feed basilo without unriding. Up! So no noobs will be eaten by manta or megalodon lol
Fun fact I found real useful, I have my base in the herbivore island and there's LOADS of these guys around. I know a lot of ppl say it's hard to tame but reality is (at least for mobile, not sure about pc or console) that if u don't want the mantas to attack, feed the Basi off a back of an aquatic tame. According to the dossier, the mats follow the basi to eat and once a player comes near they see it as a threat. But if another water tame comes it'll ignore, and let u tame the basi. I currently have 3 and I'm only level 41 on solo, very quick to tame, I recommend normal meat over fish meat if Ur a low level just cuz they tame faster for some reason. And what's more to these beasts, I don't have a saddle but at least now I already have access to oil, cuz this guy produces it, making kibbles as easy as ever. Hope it helps and have fun taming Ur basi :)
Ciao
In crystal isles, these guys spawn in the tropical beach area in the southwest of map, it’s not common, but they can.
