What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I have tamed dozens of these. Set timer for 4 mins 20 seconds. Use ravager. Soon as it eats first egg start timer, drop next egg at 4 min and repeat. Kite it safely but DO NOT lose aggro or you lose efficiency. Don’t even let it go underground. I got a 145 with 97% effiency using rav. Multiple helmets and stim on ur tame to keep awake. Force feed when basil eats egg.
WARNING!:Do NOT, i repeat, DO NOT, bury underground and go underwater. Even if it is the smallest little stream or pond that might not even register as water, as it will glitch your basilisk and you will lose it. It will be burried underground and will not respond to whistles.
They also eat Wyvern eggs if anyone is wondering.
IMPORTANT! It must be at full hp to be tamed
Guys the rhyniognatha can pick up the basilisk i found it cool to be able to pick up a giant snake
Easiest and most cost effective way to Tame a Basilisk.
You need:
1x small shoulder pet ( I prefer Bulbdog but use whatever you want)
1x Metalfoundation
Enough eggs to Tame your Basilisk (check Dododex for thst based on your settings)
1x Eather Tek suit or Crossbow with grappling hooks
How to:
After you found your desired Basilisk go as close as you can to it without waking it up.
Place your shoulder pet on the ground and then place the foundation on top of it so that it's below the foundation (careful as sometimes if you go a bit away from the foundation the light pet will popp back on top of the foundation so check if it did)
Throw the eggs on top of the foundation.
Now get close to the Basilisk and lure it towards the foundation. Once it is near the foundation Eather jump with the Tek suit and fly far above him or grapple with the hook. The basilisk will loose Interest in you but will aggro on the Bulbdog and try to bite it but it can't hit it. It will remain there forever and never even bother to burrow. It will eat the egg on its own when it wants to (be careful of other Dinos as they might aggro on The pet too and due to that hit the basilisk.)
Now just wait and voilà you for a Basilisk.
We used it for the Alpha Rockwell on Abberation (ASA), thing Angry worm killed the Boss nearly alone with the spite attacks, we other 2 guys on Reaper and Megalo was just running around. High level and saddle +100
I don’t know if this is going to help anybody, but my partner and I have tamed three different Basilisks with Fertilized Fire Wyvern Eggs. On Fjordor, we would use the arches from above the Basilisk, and drop the eggs down below to them. This was done by the volcano where Gigas can also be found.
I hope this helps somebody!
If you see a “w” in the ground don’t go near it and run for your life.
On aberration these guys spawn at the portal
When it buried underground it looks like plants coming out of the ground so watch out. You so know what I mean when you walk up on one.
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
I wish it was a knock out tame and you just put eggs in its inventory like the oviraptor
The exact time between feedings is 4 minutes and two seconds. Please fix.
