I like to use mine in tandem with my pack of megalodons for hunting squid, especially alphas.

I ride my basi and get the squid to focus on me while my sharks swarm it. Combined with my Basi's high health and melee, it usually makes short work of them (and most everything else, really).

So I was expecting the Taming to be more difficult....It actually wasn't that bad at all honestly but I did use Theri. Kibble as food. Now the thing NO ONE mentioned is if you ever expect to Imprint one of these it takes A LOT!!!! I literally used like 15 Eery Candy and because it wants a lot of kibble, like 15 different kibbles had to be given to it as well. (Just FYI)

Easy way to tame a high lvl 150 basil but still takes time.

Step

1:Find a ovis but don't kill remember where it's at or the spawn area it spawns around. If not available make sure your able to get raw prime meat and be ready to get it.

2:Tame at least a lvl 90 itchy with ovis meat(Raw mutton but make sure it's not the only ovis you found or use raw prime if not then regular meat but track it in case using tracking feature under your taming progress tab) pump speed in itchy aka dolphin

3:Find a basil of your choice and lead all the mantas away and sharks far away do not rush it

4:Feed the basil one meat of any kind to set it under your tracking progress tab

5. As you track the basil you would be able to see his food stats going down, this is going to be your timer for the next step so be as quick as you can but you do have about 15minutes so don't panic

6. Find the ovis(Rawmutton) or your prime meat and harvest it once harvested cook it into cooked raw mutton or cooked prime meat

7. You have until the basil's food Stas is at least around 15000ish and once their you can then stuff the basil with whatever meat with only 8 second intervals in between feeding him the meat in your last slot in your hot bar

8.be sure to keep away sharks and mantas even if you have to attack with your itchy hit and run the opposite direction of your basil so they are chasing you

Sanguine Elixirs work!! You MUST first have your feet planted on some sort of surface. One might be able to use it while mounted on a tame, while taming a basilo…. But I haven’t tested that out. What I can confirm is that the elixirs work for imprinting baby Dinos and boosting imprint to 100%. Get your baby to 70% or higher, (assuming you have a water platform, setup with a Dino pen for water dinos) set your babies follow distance to lowest, head over to where your stairs breach the surface and find your footing. Once you’re sure your feet are planted and you’ve confirmed that your baby basilo is near by, pop the elixir and it should all work smoothly. 👌🏾 I need to test it for wild basilos, but very rarely do they ever go to any surfaces… so I might have to mount a tame and swim alongside it…. Hopefully it’ll be close enough to the basilo to trigger the elixirs effects. Good Luck Arking.
