Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

U can tame it...But it takes time for higher lvls.But with some patience,U can get it.If ur even not have the saddle engram,It's useful.It can get natural oil through its inventory and u can even kill it for instant oil...But I recommend using icthy for taming and killing one...

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…

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…

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

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

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)

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 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.

I was in crystal isles, and I found three of these guys, this is how I tanned them:

1. I had a Barry, and killed all the mantas with the spin attack

2. I used the meat from the mantas to feed the Basilo (these guys get hungry quick, so it won’t take too long)

3. Enjoy your…

The basilosaurus has some loyal guards with him that follow wherever it goes.

It depends sometimes all mantas(mostly 3),sometimes a Itchy with some mantas, and rarely no mantas at all with one itchy.

It's a passive tame by the way if you want to tame this beast and…
