Rey's swarm them you need to kill them before you tame the basilosaurus

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.

I don’t know why, but nothing in the sea agrros on the dolphin. So it’s best slowly killing the mantas and then feed the basil

How to Tame a Basilosaurus (non-violent tame)

Step 1- Lure it to the surface where it can still swim.

Step 2-Start feeding it fish.

Step 3-Use soothing balm.

Step 4-Continue feeding it fish.

Good luck

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.

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

Tame while riding an ichthyosaurs!! You can outswim the mantas!!

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

It makes oil with a timer once tamed

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

Can apparently fight cnidaria without getting electrocuted

Watch for mantas

Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.

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!
