Tips & Strategies

I keep thinking I hear Lugia. Also this thing kills tusos and alpha megs easy. Only advice for alpha megs is to stay near the surface of the water for healing boost while fighting and when the Meg tries circling to reposition itself just stay where you are and let the stamina be restored. Itβs not just the mouth that does damage, itβs the hips too. Might name my next one Shakira!
More Basilosaurus Encountering Tips
Regens health fast near the surface.

Passive Tame.
In crystal isles, these guys spawn in the tropical beach area in the southwest of map, itβs not common, but they can. Arrow so people can see this
Watch out for its manta cult.
In real life these were vicious carnivores that would have killed and eaten a human on sight and lived mostly in shallow waters and swam up rivers looking for food they were also twenty metres long, good thing the developers didn't make them more realistic or crossing rivers would be a dream until you have a flyer.
Was swimming and i see this and the mantas start attacking me and my meg and sadly he died upv0t3 so my meg can rest in peace
I have a level 100 basil and when looking for a male to breed I encountered an alpha megalodon and like 4 high level megs near it. I took out all of them without losing practically any health. The male I ended up taming the male basil and it got the final hit on alpha Meg, just a side tip alphas give crazy xp my lvl 50 male basil got 30 points from it!!!!!
Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.
Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame
Only one manta on Genesis!! Thank goodness!!
Iβve tried to take these twice and failed both times. Damn Mantas. They are my second least favorite Ark water creature.
