Do not tame under the flying island ok the center,it is to deep and it will eventualy die

Generates oil over time, thats pretty useful. Idk in what speed tho

Literally everywhere at the back of carnivore or herbivore island 🏝

They Commonly Spawn Near The Shores Of Herbivore Island And Can Rarley Spawn In Hebivore Islands Cove They Are A Passive Tame And Prime Meat Is A Fairly Good Feeding Source Make Shaur To Kill Of Any Megalodons In The Area And Finish Of All The Manta Rays Following It Before Approaching

How to tame yourself a basilosaurus :

1- You can find a basilosaurus near the beaches.

2- They're surrounded by mantas that act as their guards, in order to be able to tame it you must kill his guards using a decent sea creature (Barynox,Sarco,Megladon).

3- Once you kill the mantas, get close to it and feed it raw prime meat (Its a passive tame).

4- Beware! dont ever hit the basilo otherwise the taming will restart i also advice having your tame on passive so it doesn't accidentally hit the basilo, changing the food type will also restart it too.

5- The basilo starves every 10 to 4 seconds so it won't take that long just keep protecting yourself from any impending hordes of sea creatures.

6- Once tamed you can get into sea caves without having to worry about getting dismounted by a Jellyfish or the electric fish anymore so you can start killing jellyfishes for biotoxin, also they produce oil, its the best tame to go to sea caves with!

The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.~Steel Cookie 123

These guys are though! I tamed one and we were attacked by 6 megs and my bailasaur killed them at level 5!!! 6 Megaladons!!!!

just get a nice lvl sarco and kill s everybody around him. if you doing the tame with meat (like me) get ready cause its going to require a loooooooot of time.

I don’t know if other people have experienced this but in ark mobile (or maybe other ark variants) but if you use potent dust on Basilosaurus it knocks them out for some odd reason.

There's always one on herbivore island

MOBILE ONLY

ride an ichthyosaurus and feed it meat prime meat or kibble and I recommend using soothing balm,the reason why I use ichthyosaurus is because in ark mobile it is ignored by every other predator,so just hop on ur icthy and feed the basilo , also DO NOT DISMOUNT WHILE FEEDING ITS FOOD you can just perfectly feed it from the itchy while the mantas are not knowing that free Willy is being tamed

Very efficient at gathering bio toxin

How to tame or kill for oil.

1.Get a baryonyx and use its aoe on the mantas until most are dead

2. Passive tame it ( Or kill for a hell lot of oil ) while your baryonyx is close incase a stray manta comes

3. Repeat until tamed

This can always be found with 2-5 rays following close by acting as body guards. Or at least it is every time I find them.

Must tame, it was hard for me to tame but it was a fluke, I lured all the mantas away and started to passive tame it but then megaladons ambushed me and me and my ichtyosaurous (dolphin) died, I respawned, grabbed my sarco got back and then killed the megaladons and tamed it, after I tamed it it has already killed 5-8 megaladons and 10-17 mantas on my way back home! I’m making a saddle right now, and if you want more reasons to tame I have more, it can’t kill a mosasaur if it is good lvl, it can kill many packs of megs, mantas and anything else in the ocean, AND it is immune to the tusos grab, and immune to bothe the jellyfish and electric eel stings, easy tame if you are careful, yet so powerful. I’m still sad about my dolphin 😔, 1 🆙 = one rip for the dolphin I didn’t even have time to name 😢

These are great under water tames , they can produce oil and are immune to the jellyfish and eels of ark as well keeping you warm great all-round water mount

Very good midgame water tame for before you can get plesios, mosas, tusos,etc, lots of health, good damage.

Wild ones are easy to kill, give a lot of prime and oil

Uh I just found something quite OP about a basilosaurus. It has 2400 base health, while the mosasaur has 3600 base health. However, a Basilo gains 480 health per point (wild) while mosasaurs only gain 432, meaning that, at higher levels, a basilosaurus will usually have more health than a mosasaur of the same level. The only tameable creature in the ocean with a higher health than a basilo at higher levels is a tuso.

How are these passive look at that mouth

Mine has over 40k health ang killed a plesi 2 sharks and a school of angler at low depth...hardly put a dent into it... Health and melee mainly with a few in stamina and go wreck face with these
