So I spent the weekend learning the light pet/metal foundation taming method. A couple of helpful tips for those interested in taming these using this method that the videos don’t mention:

1. The basilisk has to aggro you not your mount or it will not tame. It is important to use a large tame that normally won’t make the basilisk pop out of the ground because these are tames they don’t naturally aggro when hidden.

Dismount, aggro the basilisk and then remount before it hits you! This is important. If it hits you it will continue to aggro you and not tame! Kite the basilisk to the foundation with your mount to avoid getting hit.

2. Carry some throwaway podded tames like low level moschops. Use these to make the basilisk pop out of the ground so you can see it’s level. That way you don’t have to waste foundations. Let it kill them and then bury itself again.

3. Clear the area of other wild dinos before taming. If it gets distracted by a random wild it will stop taming.
