Tips & Strategies

The Basilisk can deal torpor damage. It deals 3x your Basilisk's melee damage over 10 seconds. A 500% melee Basilisk will deal 1500 torpor damage over 10 seconds. Bite once every 10 seconds to make full use of this. Take into consideration a wild dino's natural torpor depletion rate.

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 collegeβs sewer system.
To easily get first rock drake egg, sneak up on person trying to tame a basilisk.
1 bite on a 150% basilisk inflicts as much torpor as a dart. Use it well time bites 10s apart.
Whilst they may not be able to fit through wood/stone dinosaur gateways, they can git through small tek dinosaur gateways.
This dino looks like the titanoboa 2.0 and this thing can carry 2000 weight so i recomend u to tame one if u need a weight dino
When it is underground it does use stamina which means it can not be underground permanently, it is extremely fast when it is underground and untargetable, and when underground it will be blocked by structures such as, walls, foundations, rocks, etc.
Fall damage is one of its only natural enemies.
You will use up oxygen while moving/being underground. Oxygen tanks work!
Be careful riding this thing underground. You will have your oxygen drain and begin suffocating if you are under too long.
