Here’s a tip! Take a Baryonyx out and stun all of the creatures around it! Try not to hit the Bassey, all the others will follow you and you can easily stun and kill them all! Have kibble or preferred taming method in you last item slot! Put you Barry on follow and just feed ‘em! 😌👍🏻 HAPPY TAMING!!

They're the safest most care free marine mount you can get. Only down side is they're slow

Produce oil, immune to electro chock

The best marine mount if it was faster

DROPS OIL WHEN KILLED SPREAD THE WORD

Want lots of fish meat? Well you’re in luck! Tame one of these bad boys and your set! (Warning mantas and megs follow these and will attack u when taming) once you got it tamed mount your fishy friend and kill Mantas,Fish,Megs,etc and you can get loads of fish meat! (Literally I just killed like 5 mantas and 2 megs and now I have 11 stacks of raw fish meat )

I’ve tried to take these twice and failed both times. Damn Mantas. They are my second least favorite Ark water creature.

If you are like me, a noob who is scared of literally every dino in ARK, then you can find these guys stuck against rocks in the ocean in the shallower waters, there might be Megs near by so be careful, just feed it raw meat you will have a new pet whale that sings.

Keep in mind that the second time the Dino eats it takes about 5 mins to eat again but after then will be a lot quicker

WHERE THE BOY BASOS AT?! Play find females around where I went. Please help me find the boys.

Am I crazy, or are basilos eating any kibble on mobile rn?

It is like diving with a guarantee. Nothing will scare you even if you have a low level of these beasts. Dont get too attached only danger is starving down there as you cant eat.

Just tamed a Bali named it basil and she faught off like 8 megoladon

Good job basil. 1 up for more megoladons being killed with a Bali

I found a max level basi at the shores of the South West tropical islands right next to my base. Roughly 80, 30. Ofcourse it had the usual mantas and a couple of Megalodons. But I was able to take them out in the air with a compound bow and sinomacrops. Afterthat, easy taming. Use exceptional Kibble for faster taming! They take a long time to get hungry the second time. After that, itll tame quickly

Easiest way I know to tame them is using a baryonyx after first feeding use the stun attack of the bary to stun and eat the manta''s then you should be good just pray no more manta's arrive they've cost me a near perfect tame on one twice.

This was my 2nd water (as in ocean since I have 8 kapros) tame ever I have 2 of these for me it was easy to tame I grabbed my dolphin and went looking once I found one a swam close and fed it raw meat the mantas did absolutely nothing I ended up with2 of these.

The basilosaurus is the king of the ocean. Nothing can stop a perfect tamed 150. Really good to farm black pearls off alpha mosas n squids.

I spent like, 30 minutes trying to tame this, and then the taming levels started dropping super fast. Has this happened to anyone else?

This is how I tamed mine and you can prob do the same

What I used-

. Mastercraft crossbow+ stone arrows

. Full set of SCUBA gear plus extra SCUBA tank

. Extraordinary kibble (I had a bunch and it gives same effectiveness as exceptional kibble when taming basilo)

. My lvl 141 sarco with levels pumped into damage and health

How I did it

Found a high level basilo, swam up to it, and hit one of the mantas near by. Once I did all of the mantas went aggro and followed me on my sarco. Once I killed then all I swam up to basilo and fed kibble. After that I waited for it to get hungry again and while I did I killed some more mantas/megs that were swimming near by. I’m not taking any chances. Once it was hungry again i fed it until it was tamed.

Also, when using kibble, if you feed a creature any rarity of kibble that is above its preferred kibble it will have the same effectiveness. I used extraordinary kibble when taming my basilo, and basilos prefer exceptional kibble so it did the same thing. Sorry if it was confusing but I hope this helps. Happy taming!

Ima lvl 47 and tamed one with my itchy named pyrite this things a beast I got attacked by a group of megs bc I dismounted and he savages them like they were paper

I recommend using a sarco, or a high damage icthy.

1. Gather food of choice, and a fast or high damage water mount. Scuba Gear is NEEDED.

2. Using your mount, find a Basilo, go up to it and aggro the stingrays (if their aren’t go to step three), swim not to far, turn around and kill al the stingrays(there are a lot!).

3. Once all the mantas/stingrays are gone, go up to the basilo, get off your mount, and feed it your food of choice (foods options are in taming tab).

4. Repeat feeding process until tamed

Happy Taming!
