Tips & Strategies

Must tame!! These are amazing! Just in a one day trip into the ocean I gathered 820 bio toxins, 443 silica pearls, 1000+ raw fish meat, and 41 oil. I encountered alpha Megalodon too and took it down like nothing with the basilosaurus! It's now level 35 and its health is 5557.2 and melee damage is 329.9%. They're absolute tanks!

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.
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
The basilo is a great underwater tame, preventing dismounts, when it goes to a certain depth it starts to lose health, although it has so much health it doesnβt rly matter, it is widely used for soaking underwater bases due to its high health, to protect yourself from being ezily underwater raided you can set ur turrets to only survivers, donβt do it on all turrets though only the ones that a basilo can soak you should put on only survivers
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.
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!
Can kill squid like their kin in real life. Tame a 150 and you can take on alphas like they are regular ones. Just up health and memes. They recover steam so quick boosting it is pointless. An all around amazing creature, 10/10.
Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.
This creature has to be one of the most useful aquatic tames. It's literally the best bio toxin harvester because of its immunity to electric shocks, plus has amazing stats. We also can't ignore the fact that it generates oil passively. The cherry on top is that it's a passive tame!!
Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.
Generally surrounded by what appears to be some sort of coral fern. Coral fern is in fact a swarm of feral majestic sea flap-flaps. Swarm is protective of their oily host.
