How to tame a basilosaurus.

Let's prepare. You will need a few things:

1. Raw meat(s). I prefer raw mutton or prime meat.

2. A weapon. I used a mix of a raft and an ascended bow. But a strong weapon that fires underwater is strongly recommended.

3. A clear coast. Make sure no hostile creatures are nearby.

Taming the basilosaurus: The first feed takes the longest, then after that it'll eat whenever. Keep a fast water tame by your side at all times.

Once tamed, it will offer these buffs:

1. Oil. It generates oil in its inventory.

2. Insulation. It'll keep you warm.

3. A new water tame.

🔺️ if this helped and is accurate!

If you are raising a baby keep in mind that their food drops faster than they can eat, so you have to force feed them until their food bar is full or else they will eventually starve to death even with food in their inventory. If you are on singleplayer you can also leave and rejoin your game to make the basilo instantly eat the food in its inventory until the food bar is full or there is no more food in its inventory.

When taming this, be careful, Mantas and sharks follows a basilosaurus around and will attack you if you approach or feed the basilosaurus. According to the Basilosaurus dossier, Mantas usually follow them because of their eating habits (Well very messy) and it leaves plenty of leftovers for them. They attack you when you feed a basilosaurus because it leaves no leftovers for them.

I believe the dossier, but yeah.

If one spawns 3 mantas will automatically spawn near it, and start following it and group up near its belly. If you feed a basilo every ichthy/megalodon/manta near the basilo will automatically take one damage (the game inflicts the damage as if it was inflicted by you), then get angry at you and start chasing you. You should then run away if your tame can't kill the mantas quickly because mantas do more damage through armor like saddles than other creatures, so your tame's health might get shredded in seconds.

They have 12000 drag weight, the 2nd most in the game along with liopleurodons.

Ride dolphin or manta, water creature won't attack you while riding a water dino, then go near basilo feed it, Don't unride or you'll see your self dying, put food on your hot bar then click it when near basilo u can feed basilo without unriding. Up! So no noobs will be eaten by manta or megalodon lol

I have a tip to share on how to deal with the Mantas and Megalodons that are surrounding the area where the Basilosaurus roams. Make sure to go with a high level Baryonyx because of its underwater stun ability and damage in general. Make sure to damage one manta so they will all start following you. Then lead them away and kill them. Killing the Megs is easier in my opinion, plus you can gather them all in one place, stun them and start killing them!

This creature has to be one of the most useful aquatic tames. It's literally the best bio toxin harvester because of its immunity to electric shocks, plus has amazing stats. We also can't ignore the fact that it generates oil passively. The cherry on top is that it's a passive tame!!

In crystal isles, these guys spawn in the tropical beach area in the southwest of map, it’s not common, but they can.

Tame:

1. Grab an Ichthyosaurus.

2. Put Meat desired by Basilosaurus in your Hot Bar.

3. Ride Ichthyosaurus.

4. Put Basilosaurus-desired Meat Type in Basilosaurus's mouth.

5. Repeat.

6. When tamed, Megalodon/Mantas/Ichthyosauruses-in-wild will follow Basilosaurus.

7. Once Basilosaurus is in a safe spot, Basilosaurus can kill predators.

8. PROTECT ICHTHYOSAURUS FROM CARNAGE!!! I MADE THAT MISTAKE AND REGRETTED IT.

Good for farming bio toxin, as it can attack Cnidaria without being stunned or knocking off the rider. Takes damage when it goes too deep, though surfacing rapidly heals it.

Even if you don’t have the saddle Engram for it you can use it as a way to get free oil 😱😱😱😱. Like so low level ppl can see

How to tame basilosaurus

Where to find:

Basilosaurus are found in the oceans surrounding herbivore Island

Taming details:

Basilosaurus are passive tames that arent aggressive towards you at all and they are carnivores so feed them meat.

Problems:

Basilosaurus are surrounded by mantas and they will attack you when you feed or attack the Basilosaurus, there are plesiosaurs,megalodons,leedsicthis and tusothuthis where the Basilosaurus are,

Advantage:

Basilosaurus are slow so you're underwater mount can keep up with it.

Abilities when tamed:

Basilosaurus are immune to jellyfish stings and eel shocks and cannot be grabbed by squid, they produce oil in there inventory but it spoils, they regenerate health fast near the surrface, they can shoot rainbows out of their blowhole using one of their attacks

Disabilities when tamed:

Basilosaurus lose health when they are in deep water

A great beginner tame, once you have an icthyosaurus, you can swim up to it and passive tame it. I just tamed one, and less than 5 minutes after I tamed a level 4, it’s killed 2 megalodons and 4 mantas. Like so noobs and beach bobs can see.

Every time you punch a basilosaurus or feed it any mantas, megalodons, or ichthyosauruses near it will automatically take one damage (you probably wouldn't notice this as they automatically heal it back but they will make sound effects as if they took damage) then become angry and start chasing you.

Good fighter, immune to jellies, supernatural healing boost at the surface, produces oil in its inventory, impervious to squid grabs, looks kinda cute too, only one bad thing about it: it gets squashed in the deep! Only slowly but the damage is there!

Basilosaurus isn't as hard to tame as you'd think. It may be surrounded by mantas and sometimes megs, but there's a simple solution; Baryonyx.

Tame a Bary, any level will do. Approach the Basilo and use the tail spin attack, it'll stun the mantas/megs and scare the Basilo away for a few meters, far enough for you to take out every threat with a Bary stun-lock without hurting it further. Once they're dead, all you need is swim towards the Basilo, feed it, and follow it around until it's tamed.

Been doing it this way for years with no problems whatsoever, in my opinion it's the best and safest way to tame it. -Hydro

Can kill squid like their kin in real life. Tame a 150 and you can take on alphas like they are regular ones. Just up health and memes. They recover steam so quick boosting it is pointless. An all around amazing creature, 10/10.

NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TAMING!

Okay, so I saw one in a river opening on Crystal Isles. I thought the mantas attack you as soon as you go near. So I slowly approached the tail near the river bank. The mantas didn’t agro on me, I thought I was just far enough away. No. Oh no no no noooo. It turns out the mantas ATTACK the second you feed it. Please don’t do what I did haha

P.S I lost my otter to the mantas. R.I.P
