Deinonychus eggs work for taming basilisks.if helpful then updo

They can now be tamed in Genesis 2 using Voidwyrm Eggs!!!

3 min 30 second feeding interval it seems. I have better taming effectiveness by keeping it aggroed while running it in circles. Lvl 20 only took 2 eggs. Lvl 85 took 4. Drop 1 egg. Aggro. Let it feed. Start stopwatch. When ready to feed it rears up n screams but does not spit

This crazy serpant has a high narcotic bite... also if this is in crystal isles then why can it not eat crystal wyvern eggs? What is the point of them being in crystal isles then? Hopefully wildcard will see this.

It’s possible to tame the basilisk while invisible mounted on a Rock Drake. The basilisk will not be able to see nor aggro on you (when camo’d), but it will start targeting other dinos nearby. Clear the surroundings of dinos and drop the egg from YOUR inventory whilst MOUNTED near/on it. Do NOT drop the egg FROM the MOUNT, as the basilisk can’t eat it and you will need to pick it up to continue the taming process. Drop one egg at a time, one right after the last has been eaten. If the basilisk moves too far away, pick the egg up and drop near it again.

I GOT 3 SHOT BY IT AND I HAD 800 HEALTH AND FULL ASCENDANT FLAK ARMOUR

(It also snapped my griffin out of existence)

So I just started abb and I was doing well running from carnos and raptors that, luckily, did not see me. Then I found some stegos to hide by and there was a trike not too far away it’s head was glowing red I was so confused. Welp let’s just say I did not see that Balisk intil it popped out of the ground shot poison at missed hit a stego and then want on a rampage killing everything on sight. I ran for the tunnel that separated the portal and the world outside I made it and I’m hiding there right now

Aggro range is crazy long. The poison is easy to dodge but I haven't been able to get away from it yet.

These guys are a potent tranq weapon, good for knocking out higher level creatures, just pump a few levels into the melee and your snake is good to go

Wear a scuba tank for when you are burrowing you lose oxygen, and a gas mask so that you don't knock yourself out. End up looking rediculous but you'll be safe.

Get yourself a Rock Drake, Karkinos, Spinosaur or any other creature usually ignored by this creature, dismout to gain its attention and mount again; Drop the Rock Drake Egg from YOUR inventory and proceed to circle the Basilisk until it looses interest on you. Wait for the feeding interval to end, repeat.

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.

AS OF FJORDUR UPDATE: basilisks can now eat fertilized wyvern eggs! I got a 145 to down ONLY wyvern eggs and it completely tamed! It might hurt the taming effectiveness some but I’d say it’s still worth it if you’re not ready to get rock drake or magmasaur eggs! I did this on PS4 with no mods, meaning it should work on at least other consoles and hopefully PCs too! Up if you want fellow survivors to see this so they can stop risking their butts in the magmasaur and rock drake caves and have an easier time nabbing some wyvern eggs! (I know it works with fire and poison eggs, I haven’t tested other variants)

They also eat Wyvern eggs if anyone is wondering.

You Can Now Tame The Basilisk With a Fertilized Magmasaur Egg in The Volcanic biome on Genesis! Here’s A Tip if Your New To Basilisk Taming, I Majorly Recommend Placing Foundation’s on Your Trap Because They Will Borrow Underground if There’s No Foundation Placed and Lose There Taming Efficiency Also The Fertilized Magmasaur Egg Has To Be Dropped From The Players Inventory Not Your Tame! Good Luck.

So, my friend and I are playing Fjordur until I have the great idea "Let's go tame a basilisk!" So we go to Balhmeir and find one burrowed. My friend was in a mech and shot it, and the splash damage got it out of the ground. We were on the ground with it, and turns out it was an ALPHA BASILISK. I think the ark Devs were a little high when making this...

If you have access to a tek chestpiece and some element, you can hover and dodge spit while dropping eggs. And if you have a full tek suit, you dont even need to dodge spit as you'll be immune to it

Put a shoulder pet (or baby Ovis in my case) under a stone foundation and watch your future basilisk be endlessly distracted. Throw the eggs nearby for an easy tame!

Confirmed viable in ASA Aberr- carry rock drake eggs, ride a Karkinos (they don’t aggro to Karkinos) stalk down a basilisk using your gene scanner. If the Basilisk is currently attacking other animals, just kill the surrounding animals to isolate it. Then move up next to it on your Karkinos and drop the rock eggs required for taming and Basilisk will eat the eggs

Attempt after attempt after attempt, the truly best way to tame them is to throw a pet or small dino, set a stone foundation on it, throw the eggs on top of that. It can't break the stone foundation, it will exclusively focus on the pet, occasionally eating the eggs while attacking. I found this strat way deep in the comments, so hopefully people see this and get it around.
