What are tips for basilisk? Tips and strategies for basilisk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Same strategy as everything, swarm the crap out of it. A pack of ravagers is pretty effective just be sure to give them stims afterward, wouldn't want them falling asleep in another big fight.
Where to Find Basilisk (Basilisks are unique to Aberration)
Aberration- Fertile Region, Bio Luminescent Region, Red Hazard Zone
Genesis Part 1- Volcano
Crystal Isles- Volcano, Southeast Part of the Island
Genesis Part 2- Rockwell Zone
Lost Island- Volcano
Fjordur- Balheimr (The Volcano Island)
🦖 How To Tame/Trap:
build a trap (3 Trapdoor Ceiling, 12 Wooden Ramps, 29 Pillars, and 4/5 Stone Foundations)
visualize a cage made out of pillars. build your trap 7 pillars long, then place 1 pillar east/west from your 7th pillar on BOTH ends. mirror that design by placing another 7 pillars that are symmetrical to the previous row. place your 3 trapdoor ceilings at the end of your trap. afterwards, place 3 ramps ground-to-ceiling, then 3 ramps moving upward. double up on the height of the remaining pillars. complete trap by place your 4/5 foundations inside 👍🏼 lure basilisk over the ramp, and YEAH BOY!!
🔑 How To Hack Keys:
Use Dinos that WONT AGGRO the Basilisk (Karkinos, Rock Drake, etc)
wait until it’s burrowed into the ground, in its passive state. walk over it with your Kark, Drake, etc, and look down in Third Person. you’d see the “dino” icon appear. simply access it, and hack the keys 👍🏼 don’t waste all those Drake Eggs 💯
🔥 How To Be OP:
method 1: (utility)lower a stone/metal foundation to the lowest point. place a bed up top if you wish to spawn there. bury your serpent as close to the foundation as possible. set your basilisk on passive, and you now have a permanent & untargetable storage 👍🏼 basilisk have base weight of 2k, more or less depending on stats. feed ever so often, spawn there, stash loot, hide blueprints, name it.
method 2: (pvp) simply build a tower, improvise on the design, because the idea is to drive your basilisk up there on ramps, build 1 layer of walls as defense, and set it on turret mode. set attack range to “HIGH” and set basilisk on “AGGRESSIVE” 👍🏼 now, if any player comes near your base, you’ll definitely know where they are + DPS + can aggro any dinos to its tower 👍🏼
I tamed my level 20 on 2x using 3 drake eggs. I strongly suggest using a trap. One behemoth gate and 5 dino gates did the trick for me. Just tossed the eggs down and went far enough away that it would drop aggro. Each egg gave abut 49.5% effectiveness. Good luck!
I don’t know how but here’s what I know: get a shoulder mount and find the basilisk, it will aggro the shoulder mount and do no damage and put it under a foundation and change the foundation to block and feed it rockdrake eggs, that’s what I know and have read sorry if it doesn’t work but hope it helps
You can now tame the basilisk with fertilized magmasaur eggs on genesis ! It was just released in the patch tonight !
Eaay tame on Abberation ASA. Put small rame behind stairs, have Basilisk agro u and lead it to the small tame. Jump on Drake and drop egg. Drop the eggs two at a time while the Basilisk attacks the small tame. Tamed a 140 on 1x official with 9 drake eggs in 8 minutes. Just back up while on drake and the basilisk will eat an egg then reagro to the small tame. When it does drop another egg.
You can pick it up with the Rhyniognatha even when it’s buried. Pick it up with the new bug, drop
It into a trap with, put down magmasaur eggs and profit.
The faces look 0.1 percent like a goat

If you build platforms bellow your cage when taming it you don't lose taming afishase
To perfect tame them just tame a low level dodo or bulbdog them kill it near the basilisk place a stone foundation on the corpse aggro the basilisk over to the foundation on a drake or any mount drop the required eggs to tame it on the foundation and watch the snake munch on stone till it's tame
Make sure to not loose Agro, will drop taming
Just chunk a fertilized egg at it from the air
Don’t trust the game the easiest zone is a night mare basilisks are every where and there always run around because of all the other creatures so you should go under the tunnel part of the portal tunnel thing and make your frost base there
Met a 145 basilisk on Crystal Isle around 70’ 40’... let’s just say everything we owned is no more.
