Very good at taking many attacks
Basilosaurus
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.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Please remember they are passive tame. I just forgot and almost got killed
Don't raise deep underwater it takes pressure damage even in caves
Easy first tame on Genesis. Do the wave ray mission a few times to get some armour a weapon and hexagons. Once you have them all get some meat and passive tame a high level one. Low levels are great if you are just going to use it to get oil. High levels are good for farming…
Easy first tame on Genesis. Do the wave ray mission a few times to get some armour a weapon and hexagons. Once you have them all get some meat and passive tame a high level one. Low levels are great if you are just going to use it to get oil. High levels are good for farming Bio toxin or fights in general as they have lots of health, and you can't get knocked off of them. They don't take damage from electric attacks like from eels and jellies.
These things are SO SLOW... But they help you not get electrocuted by anything so W?
I killed a basilo while sitting on ichy, it dropped 458 oil
Get rid of mantas before you feed, mantas don't like you feeding it. I learned the hard way
Tired of jellyfish? This guy is immune to their string set them in aggresive and ur underwater tame are safe for now
If you are on one of these you are immune to being shocked of by jelly’s and they are also like your own personal oil rock
These oily bois will be very useful in maps like genesis where most oil is from the rock well part of the ship, use these to passively gain oil. To tame simply tame a baryonx with a decent level and a saddle to ride, stun the manta’s that surround it, the stun won’t affect…
These oily bois will be very useful in maps like genesis where most oil is from the rock well part of the ship, use these to passively gain oil. To tame simply tame a baryonx with a decent level and a saddle to ride, stun the manta’s that surround it, the stun won’t affect the basil, then just kill the manta and begin the taming process with kibble or meat! Good luck
A versatile tame in most sections. Combat, gathering, and exploring. It’s useful in most areas of the ocean except for deep diving. Unless ou don’t mind it’s help going down slowly it’s a great deep sea tame too. Especially how easy it is to get with the right dinos and…

These things are actually very strong for how easy they’re are to tame (relatively). I tamed a lvl 100 (wild, lvl 149 once tamed) and killed a pack of like 10 megalodons and only lost like 50 hp (it has 14K hp total).
If you want to kill it and all the mantas at once, swim up to it (I'm pretty sure they only attack you if you feed the Basilo), strap c4 on it, swim away, and enjoy the fireworks.
They will attract any sea life nearby so be careful when taming
Trilobites take up a place in their spawns so you’ll need to go and kill them as well as the Coelacanths, Megalodon, mantas and Leeds to get them to spawn if they haven’t already. I’d suggest looking along south coast of The Island and especially around Herbi Island.
Not entirely sure about Bas' Alt attack but it'll make a rainbow at surface levels.
Easiest tame all you need is a beezobufo and a ichthyosaurus . Feed it wait and get the ichthyosaur to attack the mantas while you are on the frog

These guys can usually be found around herbivore island, but do be careful if you are on a raft because sometimes a leedsichthys can spawn around herbivore island and they will destroy your raft.
