How to tame a basilosaurus.

Let's prepare. You will need a few things:

1. Raw meat(s). I prefer raw mutton or prime meat.

2. A weapon. I used a mix of a raft and an ascended bow. But a strong weapon that fires underwater is strongly recommended.

3. A clear coast. Make sure no hostile creatures are nearby.

Taming the basilosaurus: The first feed takes the longest, then after that it'll eat whenever. Keep a fast water tame by your side at all times.

Once tamed, it will offer these buffs:

1. Oil. It generates oil in its inventory.

2. Insulation. It'll keep you warm.

3. A new water tame.

🔺️ if this helped and is accurate!

When taming this, be careful, Mantas and sharks follows a basilosaurus around and will attack you if you approach or feed the basilosaurus. According to the Basilosaurus dossier, Mantas usually follow them because of their eating habits (Well very messy) and it leaves plenty of leftovers for them. They attack you when you feed a basilosaurus because it leaves no leftovers for them.

I believe the dossier, but yeah.

Ride dolphin or manta, water creature won't attack you while riding a water dino, then go near basilo feed it, Don't unride or you'll see your self dying, put food on your hot bar then click it when near basilo u can feed basilo without unriding. Up! So no noobs will be eaten by manta or megalodon lol

Tame:

1. Grab an Ichthyosaurus.

2. Put Meat desired by Basilosaurus in your Hot Bar.

3. Ride Ichthyosaurus.

4. Put Basilosaurus-desired Meat Type in Basilosaurus's mouth.

5. Repeat.

6. When tamed, Megalodon/Mantas/Ichthyosauruses-in-wild will follow Basilosaurus.

7. Once Basilosaurus is in a safe spot, Basilosaurus can kill predators.

8. PROTECT ICHTHYOSAURUS FROM CARNAGE!!! I MADE THAT MISTAKE AND REGRETTED IT.

How to tame basilosaurus

Where to find:

Basilosaurus are found in the oceans surrounding herbivore Island

Taming details:

Basilosaurus are passive tames that arent aggressive towards you at all and they are carnivores so feed them meat.

Problems:

Basilosaurus are surrounded by mantas and they will attack you when you feed or attack the Basilosaurus, there are plesiosaurs,megalodons,leedsicthis and tusothuthis where the Basilosaurus are,

Advantage:

Basilosaurus are slow so you're underwater mount can keep up with it.

Abilities when tamed:

Basilosaurus are immune to jellyfish stings and eel shocks and cannot be grabbed by squid, they produce oil in there inventory but it spoils, they regenerate health fast near the surrface, they can shoot rainbows out of their blowhole using one of their attacks

Disabilities when tamed:

Basilosaurus lose health when they are in deep water

The guy who said "First make sure the area is clear" bro I spent 5 hours waiting for the area to clear.

Just get a meg or a high level icthy and lure the mantas surrounding it to someplace more open and kill them. If you kill the first lot following the basilo, another lot won't spawn and the basilo will be perfectly alone.

Keep in mind if any creature attacks the basilo, the taming will reset.

NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TAMING!

Okay, so I saw one in a river opening on Crystal Isles. I thought the mantas attack you as soon as you go near. So I slowly approached the tail near the river bank. The mantas didn’t agro on me, I thought I was just far enough away. No. Oh no no no noooo. It turns out the mantas ATTACK the second you feed it. Please don’t do what I did haha

P.S I lost my otter to the mantas. R.I.P

This creature is so easy to tame. All you need is:

1. An Ichthyosaurus(these guy won't be attack by any water creature, except the jellyfish)

2. Anykind of meat(I suggest using prime meat and don't use fish meat)

3. Find one of these creature

4. Feed it prime meat(It's a long time between the 1st and the 2nd feed, after the 2nd feed it's fast)

And then you get one of these, just be careful of the megalodons, they will attack right after it is tamed. I hope this is useful for you<3

Fun fact: the first time you feed it, it takes a while. The rest of the time, it’s much faster, don’t worry!

Ignore posts about taming bar going down, you need to tame it using only the food you give it from the start, if you change the type of food you give it, it then resets the taming bar
