Tips & Strategies

When I spawned in South zone 3 I found this guy stuck on a rock next to the surface. I went and killed some dodos and that my friends is how I tamed a basilosaur before a dodo.
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.
Build a raft attach a ballista to the front and re-live the epic tale of moby dick, a-hoy mateys
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.
A basilosaurus is able to ignore a jelly-fish sting, disregard the grab of a tuso, and makes oil. Careful, everything arggos these dudes for no reason.
Generally surrounded by what appears to be some sort of coral fern. Coral fern is in fact a swarm of feral majestic sea flap-flaps. Swarm is protective of their oily host.
Watch for mantas
Ignore posts about taming bar going down, you need to tame it using only the food you give it from the start, if you change the type of food you give it, it then resets the taming bar
It takes a while to eat the second time, so don't fret
Be careful because mantas love to swarm him and they are a passive tame give them prime fish meat or normal fish meat
I read on the Ark Wiki that these guys are actually passive don’t let their size and teeth intimidate you but be warned they are most often accompanied by a flock of Mantas which are annoying
It makes oil with a timer once tamed
Tame while riding an ichthyosaurs!! You can outswim the mantas!!
Can apparently fight cnidaria without getting electrocuted
Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.
To tame this creature you need an Ichyosaurus, because nothing will attack you if you are riding it. It takes a while for it to to start the second feeding. Also, make sure you’re using the same food or the taming process will restart. A must-have to get biotoxin, because they are torpor immune. Will receive damage if you go to far down, but rapidly gains health at the surface. If playing on mobile, go to unofficial server called (Official) Pearl’s Legacy. -KingJadon08
If only it had a horn then it could be a narwhal
I use my 170 basilosaurus to kill the alpha mosasaurus (level 50+) mine has 30k health. I bite until half health, rise all the way to the surface and continue until the mosa is dead. Health rises so fast at the surface!
Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame
The health regen on these things is insane. Keep fights near the surface and avoid crush depth for best results.
