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

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!!!!! 🎀

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…

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

Those guys are tanky af. I breed my lvl 100 wild Tame with another imprinted it and put 15 levels in HP and it had 40k HP. And I didn't even mutate it and it also didn't have that great stats. They do really good damage though its The amount of HP they really shine at.

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.

Pretty good Starter water creature, yeah u can't ride it until high level but u can still have it as a tanker with good stats and it can make oil, u can have various of these to never need to make oil runs ever again

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…

BEST WATER MOUNT, hands down. I tamed a level 10 to start and with some points on HP and melee damage it reached 10k and I even killed an Alpha Megalodon and lots of plesiosaurus. You can also farm bio toxin and it produces free oil.

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…

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…

These creatures are amazingly useful even UNtamed. If you kill them, they give you at least 300 oil, each. When tamed, they regen ridiculously quickly at the surface, and are rather good for getting anything aquatic. Nothing beats a Basilo for underwater fights either. Also…

Not So Fun Fact: after tame EVERYTHING will attack. I have a max level male and I just tamed anothet max to breed right? I let the newly tamed female stay where it is while I go grab the saddle I forgot. On my way back I get a death message from the basilo and my eyes start…

Bring a couple of baryonyxes(?) and shoot one manta. They all come after you. Run away from the basilosaurus, and when far enough turn and have the baryonyx gobble them up. Got a level 100 with four kibbles.
