More Basilisk Encountering Tips
Not everyone is willing to tame Basilisk, and— especially on Aberration— hunting them may be preferred when searching for the rare Alpha variant. So here are some tips for hunting Basilisk on Aberration, from someone who’s spent an ungodly amount of time doing so!:
- A mid- to high-level Rock Drake can take down mos Basilisks with ease. A Spino also works especially well. You don’t need any special equipment besides Hazard Gear, though spare Hazard helmets may be preferred as they block the poison breath.
- If you’re on Singleplayer, it may be helpful to mark Basilisk spawn areas using a few standing torches. Angler Gel is my go-to fuel, but only because my Spino loves eating the Anglers in the Crystalline Swamp.
- Each Basilisk spawn “area” typically contains 1-3 wild Basilisk hidden around. If you can’t seem to find them, don’t forget to look up! They can spawn on Aberration’s higher terrain or even trees on occasion.
- I’ve encountered a minor bug in Mobile SP where some Basilisks are especially “lazy” and don’t emerge from their burrows at all, even when approaching on foot. They can still be forced to emerge with Grenades, but it’s just something to watch out for.
With that in mind, happy hunting!

The danger noodles of the ground,
They hiss a dangerous green gas,
Slightly like the poison wyvern,
But with a more lethal mass.
They slither under your feet,
And only show their resting trident tail,
Don't trust this sneaky way,
Of getting a delicious treat.
