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

I play Single player and tamed this creature lvl 120 as my first fully aquatic creature. I fully upgraded saddle at upgrade station and this thing is apsolutne monster. Not any of other sea creatures is even close to killing it. Kills mosas without any problem, receives very…

just tamed one about level 15 or something with around 20 cooked prime meat, you can find a few around the little island in the south-east corner of the map. they'll usually have a few ichthy and mantas following them, the mantas will all attack you when you feed it, and…

A very amazing creature for the water if you have a high level one stated with health and melee it can kill almost everything the only thing I would watch out for is high level alpha mosa otherwise they can be electrocuted by anything, electroflorus, and jellyfish no more…

This thing is beast I took a army of wild megalodon out mins was a level 14 with a little over 5000 health barely took anydamage

Kill all the mantras by hitting one remotely near to it and they'll go after you then be like a manta and stick to its side to tame it

If you have a partner and a lightning wyvern you can hover above the surface and kill the manta squad with a few lightning blasts and then begin taming.

Take out the manta squad before feeding it because any sever without instant tame, every manta in the squad will target you.

Tamed a super low level (54) but i killed a level 145 mosa and only got down to 2756hp (max is 5760.2) and right after literally gkt to the surface and killed a level 70 dunkle on my way back tk my base i farmed jellyfish and ended up with 262 bio toxin and 294 oil from killing…

Usually sorrounder by a bunch of unholy demons of the deep. If you have a bed set up nearby and decent oxygen levels you can just approach, feed then try to get as far away as possible before you get killed,then when you return the bodyguards have usually forgotten their job…

Punch mantas 1 by one and lead them to shore them kill them with a sword on edge tried it out and worked successfully mutton tamed a basilo 130 :))

Having at least a water critter would be your best bet when taming this. A sarco is a great suggestion, as it kills manta and can swim very fast.

The basils are the true royalty of the sea, a 150 kibble tame can kill almost anything unmatched. Get a group of 2 or 3 and the ocean is yours, breed them and they are absolutely disgusting, having high health and attack is best when bred the speed boost they get makes them…

WARNING: A lot of aggressive things get distracted by these things. But if you kill all the dangerous things it's easy to tame even with just normal meat

With patience you can easily take on the underwater caves due to its high health pool and ability to be unaffected by eels and jellyfish. As long as you fight and then swim back to the cave entrance to regen you will encounter no problems.

If you want to tame one, but cant wait until you have scuba gear, i would recommend a diplocaulus and a megalodon/baryonix for the mantas. This makes taming much easier

This thing is so annoying take out all the mantas before taming because when I tamed I had all the mantas in the ocean on me
