Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a basilisk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilisk.
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
Approach with Drake so it doesn't aggro, surround in Stone Dinogateways to trap it. Kill a nearby creature and leave its corpse, aggro Basilisk by hopping off and remounting Drake, run away to de-aggro. Basi should aggro onto corpse we left. Toss eggs and tame, kill and leave a new corpse before the first expires, rinse and repeat as needed.
If one sees you should get high ground with any ranged Torpor dealers
Is this really non-violent? Because when I try to feed it and it attacks me that’s not very non-violent…
You can only tame a Basilisk with fertilized eggs !! Also make sure you drop them from your inventory and not your dinos inventory. Then just lure the Baslisk to the egg you dropped.
These things suck to trap.
Not to mention cheeseburger. 😅
Me when basilisk: cheeseburger.
Her: basilisk
Me: cheeseburger
When taking instead of worrying about it burrowing just make a trap syntac made a nice trap if you go to his channel you can see how to make it but they can’t burrow over a foundation is the point
It says it takes 9 eggs for a 120 level, but it actually takes 8 eggs, it goes up 12.5 % per egg. Just thought I would put this on there to help. And it says it will endu up at 176, but it’s final level is 177. Hope this helps
Recent update/fix? causes the Basilisks to lose agro after a period of time. So taming high levels can end up being problematic, especially on single rates. If this happens or cant keep its attention, lure into a 4x9x3 pen.
Use a stone gate on the other end so u and ur rav can escape and stone door ways, three high, filling the two open foundations next to the dino gateway. You can stand, sit on ur rav or use a glow pet OUTSIDE of pen on the door way side. I put my pet in a foundation incase it spit(it never did).
It seems the basilisk has a “basket” range it can reach eggs out of. I tamed a 145 in this trap, 10eggs plus 2 for error so 12 eggs, 3 wide four spaces deep(inside)starting at the head of the trap(stone gate end). 145 vday, single rates, Official.
Note: I used beh get sets on the length part for walls, incase i would have to let it out and reset or got stuck on my rav.
Another post mentioned 4m 20s eat time, I saw the same, some variations but mostly on time.
I think you should be able to hatch them by putting a fertilized beelzebufo or titanoboa egg in a male dodo's inventory, referencing how they're supposedly created according to folklore.
For those of you wondering why these can’t be tamed with crystal wyvern eggs it is most likely the same reason rock drakes were taken from crystal isles both drakes and basilisks are unique aberration animals that wild card doesn’t want you getting for free and it is completely understandable
GEN 2 REQUIRES 1 more than Dodoex says for basis. 3 eggs for 135
Just fly high health argy or griffin over the basilisk while dropping the eggs, doing this on lost island was one of the easiers tames ive gotten
Do the following to tame a basilisk, the poison wyvern ball shooting snake:
1) make a trap (100% made)
2) get a basilisk mad at you (at least shoot it!!)
3) run into and out of the trap with your procoptodon.
4) go up your ramp and drop a egg (3 types only)
5) you have tamed a basilisk!
Wait!! Make a saddle first, you UNSMARTY!
I heard they added void when egg as a tank g option
For the people who tried the trick the people in comments are spamming didnt work, you actually have to throw the pet on the ground and place a metal foundation (others dont work) OVER IT (yes you can place it over a shoulder pet) then switch to block and continue taming the snek
Is a pain to tame i kept getting one shot bcuz its a 120
Throw lightpet near basi place foundation ontop of light pet an basi will lock onto the light pet
Do Not I repeat DO NOT code yourself the fertilized eggs! It will not drop and you will probably end up just force taming the Basilisk… Hope this helps!
You cant make a saddle whilst you are playing on genesis
