Dododex has its stats all wrong the amount of food or kibble is correct but the time is way off.
If you feed a basilo its first feed.
It will take roughly 2-3 mins untill 2nd feed the time is different if it's an evo weekend 3x it takes 29 seconds inbetween each kibble feed
More Basilosaurus Taming & KO Tips
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.
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
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.

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 didnβt 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 donβt do what I did haha
P.S I lost my otter to the mantas. R.I.P
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
I tamed one of these of a 170lvl by feeding it raw meat and using a soothing balm. You had better use a soothing balm on high/med levels like mine but the taming process drops, so that's why you should use one. PRO TIP: Basilosauruses (Wild/Tamed) can automatically produce oil, so tame one! It will be really useful! Personally, I love these sea sausages, they are really useful and lovely!!!
Basilos are very easy to tame if you have the right tools. Basilos are great underwater creatures with many efficent capabilities. LikeI said they are really easy to tame if you have the right tools. To tame you would need any meat to feed the basilo, but megalodons, mantas, and ichys follow them because of their of how they eat. So you would also need an ichys or any fast underwater creature to swim around and feed the basilo. I recommend when you feed it swim away and wait till it is hungry then go and repeat.

Fun fact: the first time you feed it, it takes a while. The rest of the time, itβs much faster, donβt worry!
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
