ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I have tamed one whale (in wild it had 125 level) in ARK:Mobile with common meat, prime meat (it was near the Deadly island with big populations of carnotaurs and argentavises) and special balm. With me were baryonyx and ichthiosaurus. I have stunned rays with baryonyx and kill them all, and after this I was feeding the whale.
Now, I have an 208lvl basilosaurus and it is imbalance! I'm fighting off megalodons, I'm sinking mosasaurs! Giant squid? Bash it! Jellyfishes and electrophoruses? Smash it! Alpha predators? Crush it! 23,600 - health, 1500 - stamina, over 200 - basic damage, and near the surface its health regenerates very quickly. The coolest underwater animal for me!
P.S. sorry for grammar mistakes, I'm russian.
More Basilosaurus Utility Tips
Even if you donβt have the saddle Engram for it you can use it as a way to get free oil π±π±π±π±. Like so low level ppl can see
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, itβs killed 2 megalodons and 4 mantas. Like so noobs and beach bobs 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!
King of the sea. A tuso or mosa will do more damage but you can not be knocked off a basil making them essential for underwater caves which are full of jellies, Eels and even tuso's. They are also the perfect size to navigate through them without getting stuck or having to dismount. If you have a Baryonyx they are very easy tames, just use the AoE spin attack to kill all the Manta's and you can passively tame it at your leisure. Combine their oil with organic poly and water in a cooker to make soap which doesn't expire and can be ground back into oil and organic poly when you need it.
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.
Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.
Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.
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 donβt have a basilo, tame a basilo.
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.
