Taming this is a must imo, had it been able to swim in the deep without taking damage, it woulda been OP!

The best aquatic tame second only to the gaint squid.

They are completely immune to jellyfish and eels and can rapidly regenerate health near the surface of the water, combined with an enormous health pool and good attack… Well you can honestly ignore Mosas and Plesis if you want, because they are completely outclassed.

This is a must have tame! Why? Well lemme tell you!

1:they are a really easy tame since there passive tamed so an easy noob tame

2:they are able to withstand a eel or jelly zap so you don’t get knocked of your mount(unlike the lucky noobs…RIP)

3:they are a passive oil generator so you get free oil from them,the max they can hold in there inventory is 20 but they produce quickly

4:they have enormous attack damage so you could easily kill a meg(I have a lvl 23-4 or some thing and it kills things in seconds)

5:they have short but good bursts of speed that can get you to the surface in a couple of secs

6:they have an ok saddle?(it’s unlocked at lvl 60 and requires smithy to make)but it lets you ride your helpful tame so…🤷🏻‍♀️

7:they are chonky so they are pretty cute and come in very colorful colors(lol)

8:they’re health can go very high(like I said before mine is lvl 23 or something and it’s health is over thirteen thousand health so it can take a lot of damage)

9:they are able to keep you from getting to cold or hot(pretty helpful when your in the Arctic region or deep see diving)

10:they need lots of fish meat to be able to get around(they big chungus(I named mine BC))

I hope this helps you with all the tips and time I put into this👍

Been trying to find one for 3 days now and I'm starting to wonder did they go extinct on ark as well cause I can't seem to see find a single one.

Apparently they do spawn on lost island it is just that they are super rare

They are shock resistant to the els

I tamed one with an ichthy XD i just herded all the mantas, megas and others away by crossbowing em and it was left alone for an easy tame. Ez Pz.

Maybe I’m not feeding it right, but it’s taming speed drains so fast that you would need infinite prime raw fish meat tame it.

I was trying to tame one. I just used a icthyiosaurus (however it is spelt) it took a couple of trips to the surface but it worked.

I recommend taming a dolphin then tame the basilo on the dolphin

When killed with dunk they give over 300 oil and only prime meat with over 100 hide too

The true king of the sea can kill anything if high level don’t go to deep or you will take damage kill other whales so you can get like 200 oil

This guy is Super GOOD mount underwater!!

Yes...when u go to deep water it will take a little bit damage..but it slow damage..

It hp is op..and same with attack

Clear all hostile dinos like mantas and megalodons then follow it around on a water Dino and feed it with your hotbar

Mutton taming isn’t quite accurate. Was waiting for about 8 minutes between first and second feed, but once that was out of the way it did seem like 8 seconds between feeding. Also watch out for Manta’s after killing the original pack, as they can attract to the basi if it swims close enough to them.

Ok so use a Ichthyosaurus because mantas megs and basically everything ignores you so people dont die to the manta cult it has

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BIO TOXIN THE BASILOSAURUS IS WHAT YOU NEED:

They are immune to jellyfishes, they have the ability to keep you warm or cold. But they cannot go very deep in the ocean before starting to get damage from water pressure.

This guy is a beast when collecting meat and fish meat and don’t forget that good biotoxin!

These guys are OP, a decent level can rekt an alpha mosa

basiliosaurus personality:a passive aquatic cucumber dino it’s easily a carnivore and surrounded by mantas (most of my encounters) taming: i recommend a itchy since that’s the safest way I recommend using raw meat or raw prime meat since it’s better then fish meat. Tamed and domesticated:basiliosaurus will be your personal guard in the water he will be a giga chad killing megs I tried that it’s amazing easy fish meat. That’s all you need to know!
