Aberration survival rule #1: if you see a strange "v" in the ground, run for your life and don't look back
Basilisk
The Basilisk is a fearsome snake-like creature in ARK: Aberration.
How to survive, fight, and kill a wild Basilisk, from players who have done it.
Basilisk like to hide under u so if u see a W in the ground don’t go any were near it and if you see a basilisk itself... run
LIKE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE
This legless lizard spits poison, one hit knocks you, and it loves to kill your Bulbdog named Spike
These are on volcano island in Fjordur, be careful they sometimes come in pairs of two.
They spawn in the volcano biome on genesis
What a pretty plant let’s touch I-
Basilisk: nom
Me: Sees a cool V on the ground, explores
Basilisk: Hey did you come to feed me?
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.
Ok, listen up they can spawn in the portal area. It killed me and friends about 10 minutes in the dlc. It just spawned in our faces.
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…

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
(Sorry little lengthy) by a noob of aberration
Aggro range is crazy long. The poison is easy to dodge but I haven't been able to get away from it yet.
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…
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...
A hazard helmet blocks its poison. It takes its durability down, though.
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!
If you see a “w” in the ground don’t go near it and run for your life.
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.
On aberration these guys spawn at the portal
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 wish it was a knock out tame and you just put eggs in its inventory like the oviraptor
