What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
After tamed this man he got killed by a 40 mates a 4 megs and 1 leed
When I was taming one of these i noticed it was a female... once I tamed it and requested it... I FINALLY NOTICED IT WAS PINK!!!!! 🎀
Best place to find max lvls is Genesis in the ocean biome. PS. Have a rock drake in your pocket for easy escape.
Just so mobile players know, it is very hard to find a high level from my past experiences 😔 So if you happen to find a decently high level, I recommend either remembering the area or just tame it as soon as possible because the high level ones are so rare. The highest level I have found is a level 60 and I have played on this particular server for over a year now 😬
Guys can anyone tell me where can I find these creatures on mobile? I have unlocked it's saddle already and was searching for it whole day with diplocaulus and only what I got is dozens of megalodons
They are super easy to tame if you have a sarco, all you have to do is lead the rays away from it and then feed it and every time things come back to attack you just lead them away, then go back and quickly feed it. Rinse and repeat.
Warning: the basilosaurus takes almost as long to tame as a diplodocus. I recommend not wearing a scuba tank until the second feed or you'll go through like 5 tanks. Remember to kill every other animal in the area or they'll attack you and if the basilo gets hit you gotta start all over.
I found my first one at HERBIVORE ISLAND ( on mobile ) and i lost my level 30 meg with 1000 health and lists of damage to multiple megs but my bary killed the mega due to them having low heath thanks to Maggie my meg, now I’m using my bary to kill the manta’s and a diplo to give me oxygen ( I’m level 52 ) and I’m gonna game a basilo now XD
I found mine in the ocean map you can find a lot of theme there.
Found a neat level 28 stuck at the bottom of the ocean. Taming the boy with raw fish prime & Raw meat on my Karpo, with speed 200% on. Doing well- been peaceful as I just swim around him with my Karpo, feeding him meat. Hasn’t attacked me once. As if he’s been waiting for me to find him, tame em. Hope I don’t run out of meat. Assuming their passive despite how they are in real- ;)
