What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Go to the floating islands and find rock drake eggs to tame on crystal isles
Hop around next to it on an imprinted ravager or something it'll aggro to with enough health to tank it and wait till it yells, that means it'll eat an egg, and just throw the egg on the ground. Pretty simple really
Big snake please stay far away unless you have drakes eggs to tame it by dropping them near it and waiting for them to eat the eggs
You can use VOIDWYRM eggs to tame a Basilisk if you are on Gen 2.
Guys you can tame basilisks with void wyrms eggs
BTW you can use voidwrym eggs from gen 2 for these guys
if you have a HUGE pack of raptors all on aggressive and make them kill the basilisk it’s really easy to kill it (obviously)
I also tested that if you try to tame a Level 100 Basilisk you just only need 5 or 6 Rock Drake eggs.
I wish you can tame them with crystal wyvern eggs.
You are un able to tame these on crystal isles because of the lack of rock drakes right now
You can encounter them anywhere but there rare
They agro on wild Rex... You may lose many Rexs on Genesis map because of this, Be careful
Trap suggestion: what my tribe and Inalways do is setup a permanent trap to leave unlocked for anyone to use. We place a behemoth gate and then regular dino gates to make a half circle from one side of the behemoth to the other kinda like this —> ID the I being the behemoth and the D being the dino gates. Kite it in through the behemoth, shut it and make sure all the dino gates are open on atleast one side. Toss your eggs in and stand BARELY outside of bite range. This will keep it constantly aggrod. Then you literally just stand there the entire time it’s taming. Now and then if you choose to step in to look at the taming bar feel free and go back outside of its bite radius again once done.
Getting Green Gem for the Basilisk’s saddle is probably a hard task
For a trap place a singular metal platform and put a lightpet or dodo underneath and put the eggs on top of the platform. The basilisk will target the lightpet and can't burrow since it will be on the platform. Just don't take the basilisk aggro off the lightpet and you'll be fine.
Best way by far is to put a zip line angled above it with a couple masks and a good health ravager, agro and walk up the zip line until he barely stops biting you, which will still be close enough that he doesn’t use the poison. Eggs seem to be picked up every 4 minutes or so as of yesterday.
Tame a high level megalosaurus and wear hazmat at all time just in case. Abb megalosaurus can rip through anything. Just avoid its first venom ball them get all up in its face. Haven’t encountered a 150 yet but seem to have no issue this way.
It appears there is no set amount of time between when it will eat, from my several times it seems to stick just over 4 minutes though
Make sure to kill everything in the area before trying to tame it. If it eats an egg and attacks a stego or something that fights back it'll lose efficiency, just like any other tame. Once you start the process don't let it take any damage.
