What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just fly high health argy or griffin over the basilisk while dropping the eggs, doing this on lost island was one of the easiers tames ive gotten
Do the following to tame a basilisk, the poison wyvern ball shooting snake:
1) make a trap (100% made)
2) get a basilisk mad at you (at least shoot it!!)
3) run into and out of the trap with your procoptodon.
4) go up your ramp and drop a egg (3 types only)
5) you have tamed a basilisk!
Wait!! Make a saddle first, you UNSMARTY!
GEN 2 REQUIRES 1 more than Dodoex says for basis. 3 eggs for 135
I heard they added void when egg as a tank g option
These things spawn on crystal isles
Don’t drop the eggs in one big pile, instead line them up for easier tame.
When you encounter this in aberration do be warned as they do shoot giant balls of poison
Just toss a glow pet down on passive, place a metal foundation on top of the pet, and throw down a fert Drake egg (or other egg these guys like) and kite a basilisk to it. It aggros on the glow pet and keeps biting without hurting glow pet. Easy auto tame for basi.
The neat device is called a bola. Fun for the whole tribe!
CAUTION! These creatures spawn literally anywhere on Crystal Isles
I encountered one at Lat:60 Lon:40
It spawned on a beachfront so what looked like a beached manta resulted in my fresh pack of 10 DireWolves being massacred
Throw lightpet near basi place foundation ontop of light pet an basi will lock onto the light pet
If you've lost your stuff to this guy don't bother trying to get it back because it'll stick next to it. I brought two mate boosted spinos with me and they were both killed (bye bye 4 hours of taming)
Stuff gone,
Spinos gone,
Game uninstalled
I really wish you could feed them other eggs like wyvern eggs. It’s hard finding cluster servers sometimes.
1. If you’re on genesis, get yourself the Mag egg.
2. Find a basillisk
3, take your grapple hook and slingshot yourself onto a high rock
4. Drop the egg
You have yourself a giant snake!
Their venom spit can be very far range and it’s good when raiding or being raided as you can just spit venom at everyone from a distance and watch everyone and everything die.
I just tamed my 1st basilisk a 150 90% effective. I put 4 dino gates around the basilisk whilst it was burrowed i then used a whip to agro it while on a drake then drop the egg. rinse and repeat. hope this helps.
If taming on Gen 2 take 2 to 3 more void eggs especially during the event the taming % are a little off . It took 4 void eggs for a lvl 95
These guys are everywhere in Crystal Isles! I’ve found them in the desert, floating islands and that’s about it but loads spawn.
