What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If there is one with a lot of mantas around it you can use a baryonx get the mantas attention and bring them away to stun them then you can use it or something else (we used a lvl20 megalodon) to kill them all then just trail and feed the basilo until it is tamed
Normally a bunch of mantas spawn neer it so be ready
Kill these with mosas, you will get 1000 oil easily if you do so.
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!
The thing with these archaeocetes is that they do not spawn at shallow waters yet not very deep either. And to make things worse, they can attract harems of hostile manta rays and ichthyosaurs to "feed on its leftovers" as mentioned in the dossier
Overall, make sure to bring one of your powerful water mounts to the spot, as you'll have to fight those off
They provide shock and temperature resistance, yet take damage at certain altitudes below the water
They can spawn in the middle of herb island
I found 2 of these things near my base and I tried to go near it but it constantly went away. This thing really didn't like me lol.
If you find one, bring a bunch of your sharks with you if its surrounded by manta. Bait the manta to follow you, then let your sharks kill them. Now you tame it
Tame bar was going down real quick once It hot 50%,i was feeding it the same food and everything
Yo, just a warning, and most of y'all prolly know this,but it's surrounded by Mantas...
