Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a basilisk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilisk.
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.

Basilisks can now be tamed with fertilized voidwyrm eggs!
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.
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 :)
Is a pain to tame i kept getting one shot bcuz its a 120
The reason wildcard wont make them eat crystal wyverns eggs is because crystal eggs are easy to get. You passive tame wyverns and breed them, boom is basilisk. No, its a balance. Not tryna hate btw
Best most current taming tip, gather low lvl magmasaur and or rock drake eggs, put in player inventory, clear area around basilisk and or kite to a safe place and hover 1 dinosaur gate above it with an owl. Basilisk stays aggroed, not in horizontal range of uts poison spit attack, no building needed, drop fert drake eggs down and afk. Tame 10 event basilisk on crystal isles that way. Beautiful colors. Lvl 95 to 150s. Used a high lvl and high armor gasbag and saddle perched just right in volcano area on a rock piece where basilisk aggroed but couldn't poison spit me. Afk tamed multiple in same spot.
Don’t let the basilisk burrow or you will lose taming effectiveness
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 ^^
Will not tame on 3 magmasaurs eggs on 3x
The tameing is the same but you can now tame them with magmasaur eggs
Imagine WC fixing their game so you dont have to make it roar 10 times, lure it through the egg 50 times, tank it on the egg for 2 minutes and then go home dissapointed because you dont want to lose your almost dead dino.
no not all eggs work for taming. Void wyrm eggs worked best for me
For taming it is recommended to use a trap with foundations so it doesn't burrow. Remember they can fit through small dino gates.
Feeding intervals are actually 4:34 when taming.
Why no tame with crystal wyvern eggos?
People think that you can only tame basilisks on ab and gen 1
But you are incorrect
On gen 2 you can feed them Voidwyrm eggs to tame
