Don’t actually knock it out its a passive tame. Mine took around 23 meat and 15 minutes for a lvl 70 basil, totally worth it.

Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.

If you wanna tame a good level Whale without waste sources gathering a Bary, you can Just use a fast mount tho hit mantas around the Whale and then make they follow you tho a secure distance from Basilossaurus.

Can apparently fight cnidaria without getting electrocuted

Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame

After you feed the first time, it must lose 10% of its food before it can be fed the second time. After the second feeding, it takes about 15 seconds between feedings. So you have some time to gather prime after the first feeding, but not after the second!

I use my 170 basilosaurus to kill the alpha mosasaurus (level 50+) mine has 30k health. I bite until half health, rise all the way to the surface and continue until the mosa is dead. Health rises so fast at the surface!

Yo to find them check near herb island they do spawn near the shore

These are worth the constant running away from fishes just to feed it because they #1: have tons of health #2: can passively produce oil and #3: are immune to cnindria stings making them a pretty good tame for getting biotoxen. So ya taming these guys is really worth it

The health regen on these things is insane. Keep fights near the surface and avoid crush depth for best results.

Takes ages to feed after the first time but after that it is nearly instant worth taming as they have high weight and good damage bit they are usually followed by 20 mantas so taming can be difficult

I don’t know what everyone else did but In my experience the Icythaurus or whatever the dolphin is called, still gets attacked. Everything is chasing me on it. Sure I can out run everything but the tips here made it sound like you would get ignored.

Also, someone said you could tame it from the saddle you can’t you have to dismount.

Now this is all PS4.

So best bet is to have 2 - 3 people 1 to feed and the others to agro and lure away the mantas and megs.

Icys are fastest in my experience. So best bet to bait away and dart in and out.

This will be your best ocean mount due to the fact that it can not be shocked by the eels and Cnidaria,cant be grabbed by a tuso,regens health very fast on rhe surface,and many other uses.

Dodex fix your stuff takes like 5 mins for hungry again

Kill all the mantas with a baryonix and feed it meat when its hungry. Easy but op underwater tame. Hope i helped someone

When they eat they produce oil...

To tame the basilosaurus it's a passive tame so kill every thing around it and start feeding it

Discovered this by accident, but a Sinomacrops will scream at and scare away all the mantas that surround the Basi. Not required, but the easiest way I found was to set my Sino to have "auto scream" enabled and "scream requires aggro" disabled. When you get semi close it'll scream which will make all, or most of the Mantas flee for long enough to feed the Basi. Hope this helps and happy whaling!!

Only one manta on Genesis!! Thank goodness!!

Passively generates oil, America might want to come for you and steal it, I recomend hiding
