Use a Baryonyx to remove the manta around the Basilo and profit, really easy to obtain and useful tame

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
who the HELL said bug repellant works. I DIED THRICE ATTEMPTING TO TAME THIS THINKING THE REPELLANT'S GONNA REPELL THE MANTAS. but yea im getting my baryonixes n killing them now idc
Speed is key. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom all about. When in doubt, put on da tek suit.
My favorite thing to do is get one or two tribe mates get on our manas and get the mamas around it to chace them then start feeding it
I recommend you bring a sword or pike to help with the mantas, if that doesn't work bring a shark.
Shoot one of the mantas from far away to kite them and kill them all. From there, all you need to do is kill the occasional megalodon and you should be golden. Baryonyx highly recommended for this.
Kill the Manta Rays or they will kill you
People often tame these for fun or for free oil. Little do they know killing a wild one gives 400+ oil
Basilo is good for weight, and speed in the ocean.
1. Have a sea creature with you and try to attack the manta around it and be careful not to hurt it.
2. Feed raw fish. (It is a passive tame not a knockout tame)
3. It will be awhile to tame but have a good time with your basilo!
Just killed a low level alpha mosa in a head on 1v1 on my lvl 250 Basilo and only lost 5k health out of my 20K using a primitive saddle. If you have a good saddle for it and pump enough points into its health and melee you can definitely overpower every wild creature in the…
Just killed a low level alpha mosa in a head on 1v1 on my lvl 250 Basilo and only lost 5k health out of my 20K using a primitive saddle. If you have a good saddle for it and pump enough points into its health and melee you can definitely overpower every wild creature in the ocean with a basilo, including high lvl alpha mosa.
I found one near the Dragonmalte Trench on Rag. If you have a lightning wyvern, you can use its breath weapon to quickly dispose of the mantas. Also, utilize the herds of Ovis in the Highlands for plentiful mutton for the tame. Got mine real quick with no issues.
TIP:These Spawn Around the Edges of the map And spawn Rarely I think Go deep under water to find these (Note:This was for ppl Who Don’t know how to find it)
there's a crush depth on the basilosaurus and it will start dying there's no way to go further down with a basilo and don't try to even use infinite stats it will instantly die when it goes in it's crush depth
Looks aggressive on here I know, but they are the nicest things
They generate oil passively, are immune to Cnidaria stun affects, protect you from the elements, a level 30 or so can kill a alpha meg.
How to tame: Basilosaurus. You will need: Icthy with saddle, a nearby leed and a basilo to tame. Step 1: get on your icthy and scrape meat off the leed until you get prime fish meat. Step 2: find your basilo and put the meat in your hot bar. Step 3: feed meat to the basilo…
How to tame: Basilosaurus. You will need: Icthy with saddle, a nearby leed and a basilo to tame. Step 1: get on your icthy and scrape meat off the leed until you get prime fish meat. Step 2: find your basilo and put the meat in your hot bar. Step 3: feed meat to the basilo, don't worry, the mantas won't aggro on your icthy. TIP: The interval from 1st to 2nd feed take awhile, but after that it goes pretty quick, so after that interval, be on your guard. Step 4: Keep feeding until it's tamed. TIP: Before you start to passive tame it, bite it once, the mantas will swim away, then start to passive tame, you can still passive tame. Or you can bite it during 1st to 2nd interval. Step 5: there is your very own basilo! lead it back to yoir base and name it.
Best to tame the x version of those in Genesis. They usually swim alone there, without mantas and another staff. But beware - if you disconnect in Genesis ocean you die - and have to look for your body and Dino. My megalodon is still swimming somewhere out there...
Btw don’t use a megalodon the manta will beat it up
I got one named nessie and one named kyogre, bestest fwens
