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

For mobile users its a passive tame if you dont know he eat therizinosaur kibble and and it's very slow when it tamed by meat. also it make oil in their inventory but when it get to 20 remove it because it well be so slow. it's powerful and have good health for the sea but it's stamina is bad level up in stamina. thanks for reading

I saw my first Whale in the bay of Herbivore Island, I was like, hey, it’s a whale, i don’t have any proper sea tames (I had a sarco but that doesnt count) so I got raw prime and fed it that, I ran out of raw prime, Omygod omygod. I used normal raw and the taming bar DIDN’T GO DOWN! So basically I skipped the sharks and Ichthys and went strait for the Basilosaurus. IT IS AWESOME! I highly recommend a whale and they are very common around herbivore island (heck, there’s a new one in the bay now)

I got a spino with good hp and dmg plus a little oxygen then attracted the attention of mantas and sharks away fron the basi, then wiped em all out. Next I found something on shore for prime meat to feed it. It definitely helped that it was in a little cove area so no new predators would show up.

Kill off all megs in the area with a fast mount like a sarco, then shoot the basilo with a crossbow. Lead the mantas away (this will take a while) and either kill them or loose aggro. Head back to the whale, give it some kibble (may need 2 or 3 feeds) and now you have a bio toxin gatherer and cave runner! I was completely OK to do this with a lvl 151 sarco with a primitive saddle and a regular set of scuba. I recommend bringing lazarous, and a good crossbow.

When it comes to taming this guy, I personally like to hop on a high level spino. The spino easily deals with anything surrounding the basil, and then go ahead and start feeding it. I use kibble, it's a pretty fast tame, but the time between the first and second feeding feels like forever.
