How do I kill a basilisk? basilisk battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you've lost your stuff to this guy don't bother trying to get it back because it'll stick next to it. I brought two mate boosted spinos with me and they were both killed (bye bye 4 hours of taming)
Stuff gone,
Spinos gone,
Game uninstalled
The neat device is called a bola. Fun for the whole tribe!
If u find it run far up hills, they will hit the slope with poison not u and lose they by throwing dodos or running through trees zigzag.
Ah yes, the Basilisk. It’ll sneak up on you and you party, then separate and murder everyone individually. But not before eating all your tames that rush it for no reason.
CAUTION! These creatures spawn literally anywhere on Crystal Isles
I encountered one at Lat:60 Lon:40
It spawned on a beachfront so what looked like a beached manta resulted in my fresh pack of 10 DireWolves being massacred
Strangely enough, this thing was at portal spawn. Completely wiped out our parasaur mounts and raptor army with ease. However, our 4 bulb dogs manage to make their way into a glitch spot under his belly and take it out untouched!!
When you encounter this in aberration do be warned as they do shoot giant balls of poison
These guys are everywhere in Crystal Isles! I’ve found them in the desert, floating islands and that’s about it but loads spawn.
Will pop out of the ground as soon as you trigger its aggro range, if you are in foot run towards dodos or parasaurs, as it will redirect its aggression towards another target, allowing you to get out easily. However fo not linger your escape. As it will quickly kill your diverting maneuvered dodo or parasaur. Yust keep heading away from it.
It does not and I repeat DOES NOT get affected by any bear trap, lost my shinehorn.
Am I the only one who sometimes sees a roll rat hole and think “is that a basilisk?”
Bola your friend unless you aren't playing multi-player if u aren't ,run for your life
One killed me and my 10 bulbdogs at portal. Watch out.
Tek helmet helps tremendously when trying to spot them in thick brush. I have also found them in walls with this.
Do gas masks work for there poison?
If you have a tamed basilisk and you for whatever reason,end up putting fertilized eggs in a feeding trough,it will still eat fertilized eggs even after you tamed it. I genuinely did not know until I learned the hard way..
Hey if you get fjordor the modded version if your flying with your sino might want to look where your going these have aimbot I swear got sniper fell in lava game over that’s why we have grapples but rip my sino fell in lava dead.Yet I still tamed that man I mean it was 150.I really hope they take basilisk to another place instead of volcano where X creatures live it is annoying to fly get sniped fall die or almost die then sino go bye bye.Just so you know if fjordor still has them in official oof just get ready.
Physically impossible to knock one out. Its torpor immune
If you see one when you’re not trying to tame it run a lvl 3 jumped me and 1 shorted my while I had full flak
Dododex, you may want to get rid of the knockout portion. They can’t get knocked out.
