Special trait: mantas and ichys will surround the basilosaurus, protecting it. (When you feed the basilosaurus on a non-water creature, like a sarco, the mantas will attack, so be careful). Pro tip: find them on herbivore island, in the bay.

Basliosaurus has manta rays and megs sometimes around it, bring a spino it will easily kill them all and bring raw prime fish meat or normal

Good for farming Bio Toxin.

They are immune to Cnidaria

You can find basilosaur spawning in the circular water bay just behind blue ob on the center in ASA. We just tamed a 145 that finished with 461% mele.

The dinos spawn frequently at a higher level on the center.

I live on herb island and they spawn all around me just tamed one and it's my second most powerful tame (after a spino). These r a must have in my opinion

Produce oil, immune to electro chock

The best marine mount if it was faster

The mantas don’t follow it to proteck it they follow to get the food they leave behind

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

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

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 tamed one and it started making oil but the oil is purple but I take it out and more is made it looks like tuth oil

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

Killing Low level Basilos are a great way of Obtaining Raw prime meat. Unlike other creatures, Basilosaurus ONLY DROPS Raw prime meat.

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.

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

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.

Mobile passive taming for this guy is easy,

1. Get a Ichthyosaur

2. Hit the basilosaurus once and guards will flee

3. Hunt megalodon and get their prime meat via pickaxe

4. Passive tame basilosaurus

These guys are very good defense and I found mine around herbivore island.
