Regens health fast near the surface.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

This creature is so easy to tame. All you need is:

1. An Ichthyosaurus(these guy won't be attack by any water creature, except the jellyfish)

2. Anykind of meat(I suggest using prime meat and don't use fish meat)

3. Find one of these creature

4. Feed it prime meat(It's a long time between the 1st and the 2nd feed, after the 2nd feed it's fast)

And then you get one of these, just be careful of the megalodons, they will attack right after it is tamed. I hope this is useful for you<3

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

He’s a good guy but he hangs out with a rough crowd.

Underwater tank, these guys can be used to tank bases and take on a tuso for a while, which gives you an opening to tame the tuso, also passively produces 20 oil over 20 ish minutes.

Reasons to tame a basilo:

1. Water tanks. They can take damage and dish it back out. I killed a moss with mine.

2. Fast health regeneration near surface. Fight any surface predator and barely lose any health

3. Makes oil.

4. Keeps you warm in cold places and cool in warm ones

If you don’t have a basilo, tame a basilo.

Takes ages to feed after the first time but after that it is nearly instant worth taming as they have high weight and good damage bit they are usually followed by 20 mantas so taming can be difficult

Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.

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.

Very easy to trap and tame on Crystal Isles.

There's a river on the west end of the redwoods that's considered ocean so they'll spawn in it. Just gate off each end to trap the basil, kill whatever's in the water, and you don't even need a water tame.

Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.

Watch out for its manta cult.
