Tips & Strategies

What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Ok couple things.
1 the timer seems to be 4minutes approximately at least when I tamed my last one it was like clockwork on 4 minutes.
2 use a zip line and a ravager make the zip line just out of reach of the basilisk. Just drop eggs down to it. If done right the basilisk can’t spit at you (or won’t spit), but stay aggro.
3 clear the area. Nothing sucks more than having a roll rat or something walk over and start a fight 85% through the tame.
4 you only need hazard helmet to block spit damage. The entire suit is not needed, so just bring like 4 helmets.
5 bring a tank ravager and a partner is recommended. If you are taking hits have your partner swap out with their ravager and go heal. (If you do the zip line part correctly you shouldn’t be getting spit at or hurt)
6 bring extra eggs in case it doesn’t recognize one.
Good luck
The Basilisk will not attack a Rock Drake, cloaked or not. Just remember to drop the eggs from your inventory, and not your mount's. I tamed a 150 Basilisk on a x4 server with 2 eggs. Dododex says you need 8 on x4.
Ok they don’t spawn there, but what if you could tame them with wyvern eggs??? #Wolfs4Life

u cant feed them magmasaur eggs to tame them☹
Tranquilizing bite. To get an easy kill with any single large creature, shoot it from a safe distance to agro it to you.Then send some tamed raptors, sarcos, carnos, etc to kill it. I do this while on a Paracer using its knockback to keep large enemies at a safe distance. Works wonders with spinos and crabs on Aberration.
The reason there are still basilisks on crystal isles is because there were crystal rock drake but before the map got released they took them of and forgot the basilisk

I can spawn in Portal 1 the starter place
So I just came back home after taming a rave pack to see Carnotaurus has been killed raptor has been killed rave has been killed rave has been killed rave has been killed by basilisk
If you’re ever sick of the grind for tranq ammo, get one of these mad lads. My girl Chimichanga downs a rex faster than my Ascendant longneck rifle with shocking darts. Bite, tank for 10 seconds as torpor goes up, repeat. Works best on tanky dinos and carnivores, if you get the carnivore to heal up with kills between your bites.
GUYS YOU CAN TAME THEM ON CREATIVE MODE ENTER THE ADMIN COMMAND DoTame
Anyone know if we can tame with wyverne crytal egg ?
You want to run around it in a Drake after dropping an egg, it should shoot 3 balls at you, lose agro do it little taunt thing and then slither over and eat the egg, wait 2.30 mins and repeat. Also if you let it burrow underground the effectiveness will drop along with the taming bar so either keep a spare egg on you or ways keep it's agro.
I just tamed a lvl 6 basilisk with only one rock Drake egg. Please like this is my first time doing this.
Tame these underwater. They won’t aggro and they stay very still. Eat eggs immediately.
