ARK: Survival Evolved Companion
Tips & Strategies
This is the only sea mount you should currently use for adventuring or the underwater caves. High levels easily tear through alphas and other hard to kill creatures like squids or mosas without the fear of dismounting due to squids or eels or jellyfish.
Do not be almarmed by it taking damage in deep water, its very small and takes a long time to kill your whale and can easily be healed by surfacing. The underwater caves have pockets you can surface at to heal. The surface healing can out-heal almost all wild dino damage and a lot of the cave damage. Fight at the surface if you can.
They also generate oil over time. They can only carry 20 oil at a time though so make sure you empty it often. The oil also spoils so use it quickly.
You can also press left trigger at the surface to jump and spray water. Careful not to beach your whale in the process though.
More Basilosaurus Utility Tips
A great beginner tame, once you have an icthyosaurus, you can swim up to it and passive tame it. I just tamed one, and less than 5 minutes after I tamed a level 4, itβs killed 2 megalodons and 4 mantas. Like so noobs and beach bobs can see.
Even if you donβt have the saddle Engram for it you can use it as a way to get free oil π±π±π±π±. Like so low level ppl can see
Good fighter, immune to jellies, supernatural healing boost at the surface, produces oil in its inventory, impervious to squid grabs, looks kinda cute too, only one bad thing about it: it gets squashed in the deep! Only slowly but the damage is there!
Good for farming bio toxin, as it can attack Cnidaria without being stunned or knocking off the rider. Takes damage when it goes too deep, though surfacing rapidly heals it.
Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.
Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.
DO NOT GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN WHEN INFINITESTATS IS ON because it will instantly die when you go to the bottom of the ocean because it has a crush depth
best creature ever can't be shocked by jellies, can't be grabbed by squids, does LOTS of damage, heals super fast at surface, and drops only raw prime meat and oil.
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
