I find them all around herbivore island on mobile for those who have asked 👍 If you want high levels tho, I can only seem to find high levels around dead island and the snow biome 🤷♂️
Taming this guys are easy, all you need in an Ichthyosaurs 2 stacks of Raw Meat and a Will to go to ocean bottom. Set your Ichthyosaurs in passive , swim to one and make sure you are on the left side of the basilo so that when you jump off the basilo is in feeding range.
Feed it and jump back on the Ichthyo lure the mantas and the baddies away from basilo. After the drop agro go back and feed again. Always remember to get off the Ichthyosaur right beside the basilo so you can feed it and jump back on it and run to safety. Be cautious of your surroundings especially Tuso and don't forget to keep eye on oxygen all the time underwater
The easiest way to tame this whale is to bring a Baryonyx with ya to deal with the manta's and sharks and to wear scuba gear. Once the sharks and manta are dead just passive tame the whale with either prime meat or Theriz Kibble.
This is by far one of the best water tames, has insane health regen and if you boost melee you can easily solo kill mosa and tuso alphas, good for jellyfish because cant be stunned. And keeps you warm underwater!
This guy does not like to swim alone so he stays with his manta friends be careful
I’m planning to tame this guy so I cannot to be scared of them
it helps people get out of fear of jellyfish
Why does all the mantas attack me when im riding an dolphin?!?! And why i cant feed it meat whitout unriding it?!?!
Pro Tip: Basi’s won’t spawn with a whole gang of mantas on Gen 1 map, making it much easier to tame. You also have increased oxygen and swim speed in Gen 1’s Ocean Biome so you won’t need scuba gear and you can outswim Megalodons easily.
This is a beast my lvl 17 basil took out 3 lvl 57 megs
Just get some prime meat and kill the mantas first. You can usually find them in shallow water making the tame even safer.
Extremely op I 1v2d a lvl 125 and 95 squid with a lvl 15 raw meat tame whale. After a long fight I killed both easily. I recommend putting in health stam and melee so that u can stay under longer, stand in fights longer, and hit harder
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.
When taming the time between the first and second feed takes forever. To avoid this move well out of render and back again and it will be ready to feed 👍 Also upon your return be sure to kill everything in the area before continuing. Essentially an under water rex. great all round beast.
