What is a basilosaurus used for? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These dudes Are gods of the seas cuz they don’t get effected by jellyfish and they have lots of hp and they are tanky and they can go very deep and mine killed a level 90 megaladon and he was level 29 and he won without a scratch I tamed a dunkleo with a Basilo long story short always tame a basilo (mini tip) always bring scuba gear if u have some if ur going deep in the water
This is the only sea mount you should currently use for adventuring or the underwater caves. High levels easily tear through alphas and other hard to kill creatures like squids or mosas without the fear of dismounting due to squids or eels or jellyfish.
Do not be almarmed by it taking damage in deep water, its very small and takes a long time to kill your whale and can easily be healed by surfacing. The underwater caves have pockets you can surface at to heal. The surface healing can out-heal almost all wild dino damage and a lot of the cave damage. Fight at the surface if you can.
They also generate oil over time. They can only carry 20 oil at a time though so make sure you empty it often. The oil also spoils so use it quickly.
You can also press left trigger at the surface to jump and spray water. Careful not to beach your whale in the process though.
Want lots of fish meat? Well you’re in luck! Tame one of these bad boys and your set! (Warning mantas and megs follow these and will attack u when taming) once you got it tamed mount your fishy friend and kill Mantas,Fish,Megs,etc and you can get loads of fish meat! (Literally I just killed like 5 mantas and 2 megs and now I have 11 stacks of raw fish meat )
