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

There is a glitch when taming, wait until 2x if you are going to use raw meat or else the taming bar with start rapidly going down at 80% ish and you will have to start again. (I only used raw meat and stayed by it the whole time)

Found one stuck in a shallow area of the southern shores, mantas ran away when I fed it and managed to keep it in one place as I tamed it good tame for early game players if lucky

Important: On Ark Ultimate mobile edition (new ark mobile) these guys die instantly on deep water. No signal for low health, no 'red' screen that something goes wrong, just dying. Lost 2 of my basilos on South-east corner of the Island, near herbivore island just…

Never use raw fish meat to tame this sea sausage, I would rather use raw meat or raw prime meat or raw prime fish meat, if you use raw fish meat it will take 1 million years for it to get tamed

First of all, I usually find them near a body of land. I found one in south zone 2 or south zone 3. And please only tame them the same food, I was taming one with raw fish meat, but ran out of it so I fed with cooked meat, and lost all taming progress. It's filled with…

Use a spino and bug repellent and this tame is easy as hell if you have a bat you can find them easily at night as well then go back in the day

How I got the mantas off was I shot the bassalosourus with normal arrows, got on my megalodon and killed the mantas, nothing else ever tried protecting it after

To tame have a mount in the water that can kill the Manta surrounding this creature. Once you agro the Mantas quickly get to your mount and have it kill the mob. Then swim close and start the tame.

There is usually one at herbivore island in the pond area and it is not too cold or hot in that area either so in my opinion, herbivore island is the best place to go for a basilo.

If you don’t want to worry about mantas or megs, use a Baryonyx. Pull everything in the area and spam stun, then chomp on the stunned enemies until everything is dead. Then you can just follow the Basilosaurus around without having to worry about enemies

Just takes two max levels. Mating pair. I killed the mantas with my tek bow then went in for the tame. First time and I thought it was easy 🤷‍♀️
