How do I tame a basilisk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilisk.
Trapping this creature does not work on official genesis. You will have to find a wall or overhang to grapple onto above the aggro basi and drop eggs down to them. This is the only method that has worked for me on genesis.
THIS APP IS ACTUALLY TELLING YOU THE TAMING AMOUNT FOR IF IT BURIES!! If you trap it and make it not attack anything you can just throw eggs and it will eat them without attacking you. It said I’d need 3 and I only needed 2!
Feeding interval 4 mins 10 sec. Fix it
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.

Do not hit the snake while luring it over to be tamed. Seems like they lose effectiveness if it takes damage at all, even if it’s before it eats its first egg.
You Can use either fertilized Magmasaur or Rock Drake eggs. Magmasaurs are breedable, so you can use the eggs they drop from breeding, as long as they are fertilized.
On Genesis, not sure about Abb, the Basilisk will not eat it’s first egg until it’s health is totally full. If it has taken heavy damage, it will make you wait to tame it. You can check the health and stats of the Basilisk on Genesis by holding the map button down while targeting the animal. Once it’s health is full, drop one egg at a time. Had one basilisk refuse to eat any eggs because there was more than one present, and it got glitchy. If you are using 4high walls with foundations in the middle and ramps on the side as a trap, and it’s inside the trap and cannot burrow, there is no need to keep it angry. It’ll just sit there, staring at its first egg until it’s healed, hungry, or until the AI targets it. It’ll become suddenly agressive when it’s hungry, then it’ll eat the egg. Now drop another. It’ll eat when hungry
I will like a tek saddle for a basilisk
What map is the basilisk found on and what terrain is it in pls reply because I want one leave a up if you want to know
I am reading this and I am hearing a lot of complaints. Btw these things are fun to use
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 ^^
These guys need to be above ground and not attacking you, so what I did was I led it to a wild dino that couldn't kill it, waited for them to get into a fight, throw desired taming egg near the battle, wait for it to eat the egg, and repeat until tamed. BOOM! Awesome tamed basilisk😎
Easy tame - zip line, tanky ravager, handful of hazard helmets. Aggro, have line already placed at angle so you can adjust elevation above the basilisk. Jump on line near basilisk while he is biting, and inch up just until the bite barely stops reaching you. If you do this right and don’t put too much distance between you and snake he will keep biting and missing, and will not fire the gas and will stay there the entire tame while you drop eggs (FROM YOUR PERSONAL INVENTORY NOT YOUR TAME). Basically you’re staying between his two attack ranges. As long as no wild critters aggro him away you will get perfect tame. In an ideal world have a partner maintain a perimeter clear of wild dinos.
Takes 4 minutes and 10 seconds between eggs
Get a rock drake, wyvern, tek wyvern, magmasaur egg farm or use low level eggs
Great it eats tek wyvren eggs now…
Bring it to a safe area or a cage to feed.
Try and line up the eggs and kill everything else around will make it easier tame
Havn't seen this yet, you can tame them with voidwrym eggs on Gen 2
Dont go underwater when buryed or it will get stuck but dont worry there is way you can unstuck it.Get yourself a whip and whip him to the ground and unbury him and there you go.
You can make a simple small trap using 1 stone foundation and 4 stone dino gates. Place 3 gates down on 3 sides of the foundation and kite it in, then place the 4th gate down to lock it in. You do not need the doors, just the gate frame.
For the best results the basilisk MUST stay aggroed the entire process. Walk around the trap on foot or keep a small dino near by to keep aggro. You will lose eff if it de-aggros. Ravagers are great for this as they are semi tanky and highly resistant to their torpor bite.
The eggs MUST be tossed from the players inventory and if taming with a tribemate, the eggs must be tossed from the same players inventory. Dropping eggs from dinos or multiple players will confuse the basilisk and it will refuse to eat. Pick up all eggs and re-drop from the original player to fix.
You MUST stay in render range. Leaving render will burrow the basilisk. If it burrows in the foundation it will get stuck and be untamable.
Finally, the time between eating can be quite long. Between 2-5minutes. Dont worry if it takes too long to eat. If you feel its taking too long try picking up all eggs and try dropping them closer. It may be trying to eat an egg it cant reach. You CAN drop all eggs at once or one at a time but make sure it can reach every single egg otherwise it will get stuck and wont eat any eggs. It eats the eggs in order they were dropped. Try to kill off any dinos that may accidentally walk by and attack the basilisk. If taming in the red zone, have a cryopod ready as tamed basilisks take radiation damage.
