Many people think I’m vicious, unfriendly, and dangerous. However, I’m really just angry I can’t get any good type of cuisines. Survivors just make up the lost nutrients! I crave a good exotic dish. I never have time to go scavenge for them however (Fine, I’m just too lazy to get them myself), and hence why I will love anyone or anything that would give me these. As a part of the Serpentes family (Snake family), I love eggs. For my preferences, fertilized ones. However, I need something with more punch for my larger (and more hazardous) digestive system. There are 3 specific flavor types I love. Radioactivity charged tanged egg with a mild rocky flavor, a very spicy but melts on the tongue kick, and finally, a crunchy, bitter electronic, but still very flavorful, metallic egg. (Hey, don’t look at me like that, everyone has different taste preferences!) Of course, this is the rock drake, magmasaur, and voidwyrm fertilized eggs. Please, I’ll love you forever if you feed me these. (I might think of you some random attacker when I first see you, so please avoid my eye contact and drop the eggs for me, don’t worry, I’ll find out who got me this treat later) Thank you tasty- I mean generous survivors for reading this!

Love from your favorite snake friend,

Basilisk

THE ULTIMATE SURVIVOR’S GUIDE TO FJORDUR:

Basilisks

Encountering - rare everywhere around Balheimr, or the volcano island.

Recommended tame:

Desmodus - can be used to lead in trap and feed sanguine elixir

Taming - build a trap. Nooblets has one on YouTube, but it’s not required. In my experience the trap actually hindered the taming.

Feeding - bring magmasaur eggs (found in the cave at the bottom of the fire Wyvern trench also on balheimr) OR bring rockdrake eggs (as mentioned in the previous ultimate survivors guide, in Asgard). Drop them in front of it and retain aggro. It CANNOT burrow or your tame is ruined (pain) always remember to bring sanguine elixir, it is basically required at this point. Bring a gas mask and be aware of your creatures torpor. My desmodus unfortunately was knocked out and died. RIP

Saddle - The saddle requires 150 fiber, 270 hide, 425 metal ingots (eek), 45 green gems (found in underwater mega bubbles near the center of the ocean), and 85 cementing paste.

Congrats! You now have the perfect taming/combat/cargo tame! The basilisk is AMAZING at taming, I even tamed a giga with it! Huge resource saver. It is also pretty powerful on its own, accompany it with a Rex and beyla is a breeze! Thanks for reading this ARK Guide!

PS: I did not copy the drake one, I made it too. I did not expect it to blow up this much so imma make a few more of these!

WHY IS THIS THING A PASSIVE TAME I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE AWAKE WHEN I FEED IT

Honestly don't use the bury feature while you are riding it. To use it press the jump button while riding it. The ability is cool and it makes you untargetable but if you are anywhere near water it will likely glitch and send you and your basilisk through the map and kill you both. I lost a level 100 in the upper mushroom One because of this. The Basilisk is fast enough and tabky enough to run away from anything without using the bury ability anyway. Thumb up so others don't lose one too.

This beautiful creature has a ton of carry weight, spits like a poison wyvern, can burrow underground and move while you ride it, and can slither over small obstacles. I want one. Just look out for them in your college’s sewer system.

Basilisks can now be tamed with fert magmasaur eggs!

Throw a shoulder pet (bulbdog) and make it passive,

Put a foundation on top of it and change it to block,

Throw the rock drake eggs near the foundation

Go and aggro the basilisk it will agro on your bulbdog but never het it, set back and watch big snake boy eats the eggs while trying to hit your shoulder pet

I tamed 3 basilisks in a raw while afk watching YouTube with this method 😅

To easily get first rock drake egg, sneak up on person trying to tame a basilisk.

I don’t want to sound like a smartasss but wouldn’t be more efficient to email wildcard to make them eat crystal eggs instead of in the Dododex?

These are on volcano island in Fjordur, be careful they sometimes come in pairs of two.
