What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For some reason, when ever I go around the water surrounding Stone henge (near dodo island), I always find one of them just chilling by the shore with mantas. btw im on mobile
I used my Baryonyx to tame one of these guys (went to herbivore island to find one). There was SO many mantas but it was fine I used my bary to lead them to me then stun and kill them, it wasn’t hard at all. Taming was easy as well since I used the kibble. (On mobile btw), so just have a baryonyx by your side and go to herbivore island and you’ll be set.
HUGE TIP: Have a sinomacrops on your back when taming these. Auto scream on. The sinomacrops will SCARE OFF THE MANTAS! Time your feeds with the scream cooldown. You can probably get 2 feeds per scream after the first feed. Just make sure they’re gone or you have a raft close. If you have a raft close you can just fly straight out of the water by bumping into your raft and holding x. ^^^
Just feed it long nail Dino kibble and do it 2 times otherwise you will rage
Thank god these are a pasive tame but if it was gonna be a knockout tame than pls get rid of mantas
So I went to herbivore island and I found it on the shore and my noob ass trying to knock it out to tame😂😂😂😂😂
So easy to tame because there was a leet right next to me the whole time and I could just hop on and off of my itchy to grab prime meat and tame the basil
I find one in shallow water, lagoons, rivers etc. I use my lightning wyvern to kill the mantas as the Basi takes NO shock damage. Flippers and scuba. First feed and wait 5 minutes. Also, kill everything in the area that you can. The Basi likes to wonder while you're taming it.
Bring a Sino along with you when taming a Basilo. They scare away the Mantas, which allows you to pick them off one by one.
Tips from an expert:These can be found in the pond that Herbivore Island has. Simply kill all of the predators in the area (mantas,megs,etc)
and all annoyances. Taming one of these is quite similar to taming an ichthyosaurus;however it is much more tedious. Be patient if you want a basilo.
If you level up it’s health even once is gets more then 400 health! And that’s only when you level it’s health up once, mine is a level 30 and it’s got over 7000 health and does massive damage to sharks and mantas! I haven’t even mentioned yet how it keep you warm in cold areas and keeps you cold in warm areas so your temperature is neutral! This is second only the the giant squid!
The best place to tame is gen 1 ocean biome they are EVERYWHERE!!!
Ride an itchy if u want to tame it. Manta or megalodon won't hurt the icthy cause they so cute.
On mobile, the first food you give it takes longer. I have no idea why.
If you're playing on mobile I found a good deal of them on the south east. Also don't have it follow you I lost mine cause of megalodons.
These guys always have a pack of mantas with them and is midpoint of the ocean
( these are also smaller than you think)
Beware. They use mantas to help them and they heal FAST!
He feeds quite quickly, if you find it's taking longer than usual. Move away for a minute as he may be spooked.
He took my mutton every 10 seconds
I got attack on an ich while I was feeding it , HOW?!?!?tell me
