Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a basilisk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilisk.
You can place metal floor on a shoulder pet and the eggs on the floor and the basilisk will agro on the shoulder pet when neer, and will eat the eggs when ready. the hard part is getting the basilisk over to the trap
These things spawn on crystal isles
Just toss a glow pet down on passive, place a metal foundation on top of the pet, and throw down a fert Drake egg (or other egg these guys like) and kite a basilisk to it. It aggros on the glow pet and keeps biting without hurting glow pet. Easy auto tame for basi.
I really wish you could feed them other eggs like wyvern eggs. It’s hard finding cluster servers sometimes.
1. If you’re on genesis, get yourself the Mag egg.
2. Find a basillisk
3, take your grapple hook and slingshot yourself onto a high rock
4. Drop the egg
You have yourself a giant snake!
Their venom spit can be very far range and it’s good when raiding or being raided as you can just spit venom at everyone from a distance and watch everyone and everything die.
Don’t drop the eggs in one big pile, instead line them up for easier tame.
For someone playing genesis as a single map, without cluster to transfer to abberation,
Has anyone tested it these can be tamed on genesis , I’d assume magmasaur eggs if it were possible
Taming is easy on fjorder. Take any crappy rock drake eggs that you got from the nest in that realm that’s name I forget. Take a flying tame and fly to the volcano island and find one. Fly over it and drop the egg. Agro it a bring it above the ground, then fly up. Then the basilisk will agro to the egg and eat it. Repeat until tamed.

You can definitely tame these with Marco berries, but can ONLY knock it out with fists! Yup
They also eat wyvern eggs on Lost island, bit sure about the other maps! !!REMEBER THIS!!
The Basilisk Can Now Be Tamed With Fertilized Magmasaur Eggs in The Volcanic Biome on Genesis and Here’s a Tip if Your New To Taming a Basilisk, I Majorly Recommend That You Build a Big Enough Trap And Place Foundations on The Ground or They Will Borrow and Lose There Taming Efficiency and The Magmasaur Eggs Have To Be Dropped By Your Character Inventory Not Your Dinosaur Inventory or it Won’t Count, Good Luck Survivors!
Basilisks can now be tamed with fertilized voidwyrm eggs!
I just tamed my 1st basilisk a 150 90% effective. I put 4 dino gates around the basilisk whilst it was burrowed i then used a whip to agro it while on a drake then drop the egg. rinse and repeat. hope this helps.
On the lost island map you can also use fertilized wyvern eggs to tame. I tried it with ice wyvern eggs and the taming bar went up, I think it works with every kind of wyvern egg. Up for more people to see!
It eats rock Drack eggs and magmasoure eggs!!!!
Quick tip: do NOT try to trap it with the birdcage trap method. It can just burrow under the trap and escape (I watched a vid that said this, but I haven’t tested since I’m too scared to play lost island.) also, does it eat anything besides le eggs upon tamed? Pls lemme know ^^
If taming on Gen 2 take 2 to 3 more void eggs especially during the event the taming % are a little off . It took 4 void eggs for a lvl 95
Tek suit in gen 2 doesn’t let the spit hurt you. Trap them in a 3x3 foundation, 3 doorframe high trap for an easy tame. Takes fert voidwyv eggs :)
I used a crab since they dont seem to aggro to them. Just dropped the egg near it, hopped off for a second and back on the crab again to get it out of the ground and it slithered around till it was hungry enough to eat the egg. Kill everything around it aswell
Keep in mind when taming one of these beasts, that the taming calculator is off on the time interval. Considering that you need to start the taming sequence off with 1 Rock Drake or Magmasaur egg, you need to knock that 4 minutes and 10 seconds off whatever total time DodoDex tells you for your taming settings. I lost some levels on a max level Basilisk because of this fact that I wish I would have known. If you think I'm right, let people know.
Easiest way is to throw you glow pet on the ground then place a foundation on top of it then you throw down the eggs and lead the basilisk to the foundation and it will sit there trying to eat the glow pet and will eat the eggs in the process and tame very easily
