Tips & Strategies

What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You CAN use Wyvern eggs (tested with Fertelized Fire Wyvern eggs) and I play single player with the taming rate boosted to 2x, but one eggs gave 77% taming done. Another thing is to KEEP IT ON AGGRO, if it buries (which it will once it loses aggro or shortly after) it will start to lose taming progress slowly. Recommended dino is a Desmodus or Griffin, stay low, and dodge attacks, all the while keeping it right on top of the egg. This worked on my PS4 edition.
On the lost island map you can also use fertilized wyvern eggs to tame. I tried it with ice wyvern eggs and the taming bar went up, I think it works with every kind of wyvern egg. Up for more people to see!
It eats rock Drack eggs and magmasoure eggs!!!!
For taming it is recommended to use a trap with foundations so it doesn't burrow. Remember they can fit through small dino gates.
Keep in mind when taming one of these beasts, that the taming calculator is off on the time interval. Considering that you need to start the taming sequence off with 1 Rock Drake or Magmasaur egg, you need to knock that 4 minutes and 10 seconds off whatever total time DodoDex tells you for your taming settings. I lost some levels on a max level Basilisk because of this fact that I wish I would have known. If you think I'm right, let people know.
Feeding intervals are actually 4:34 when taming.
Physically impossible to knock one out. Its torpor immune
They also eat wyvern eggs on Lost island, bit sure about the other maps! !!REMEBER THIS!!
Is a pain to tame i kept getting one shot bcuz its a 120
Basilisks can now be tamed with fertilized voidwyrm eggs!
People think that you can only tame basilisks on ab and gen 1
But you are incorrect
On gen 2 you can feed them Voidwyrm eggs to tame
Will not tame on 3 magmasaurs eggs on 3x
Tek suit in gen 2 doesn’t let the spit hurt you. Trap them in a 3x3 foundation, 3 doorframe high trap for an easy tame. Takes fert voidwyv eggs :)
If you have a tamed basilisk and you for whatever reason,end up putting fertilized eggs in a feeding trough,it will still eat fertilized eggs even after you tamed it. I genuinely did not know until I learned the hard way..
Trap a light pet on the floor under a foundation so it keeps aggro and fly above it with your federation suit, then drop voidwyrm eggs and you have an easy basilisk game on hen 2 on gen 2
As of Genesis Pt 2, you can tame basilisks with Voidwyrm Eggs
The reason wildcard wont make them eat crystal wyverns eggs is because crystal eggs are easy to get. You passive tame wyverns and breed them, boom is basilisk. No, its a balance. Not tryna hate btw
It’s kinda like taming a Titanoboa, just bring a few extra eggs and a little more caution!
