This big guy is so useful! Easily obtainable in The Island since you can immediately swim to herbivore island and feed it fish as soon as you get an icthy and a saddle. Looots of weight capacity, make oil just from eating, take no damage from cnidarias, (thats right, that blue jelly that killed your tame a few days ago? Easily reduced to biotoxin thanks the the help of the chonky Basilosaurus.) AND you cant be dismounted from it by wild creatures, too! I’ve made a team of them and icthys, basilos focusing on hp, and icthys focusing on melee attack. Together, they basically conquer the ark ocean.

Only downside is that it’s kinda slow, making it awkward if youre sprinting through the ocean with a fast creature like an icthy, and it easily gets stuck in rivers.

Damm it gives me chills while i listen to her songs. Feels like she's singing a sad & creepy song. Help.

With my sarco I found this small whale.There were mantas around it

so I killed those mantas.wen I was done it told me to feed it fish.

So I fed it fish.It took a wile.then I tamed the bash.I brang it and

named it water.

What Iv tryed is cooked prime fish meat it takes about 30 minutes.

Do they Chase if they're hit or do they flee

It's passive. Mantas and icthys work together to kill it.

Pick a low level basilosaurus because there are a lot of megladons where they spawn also there is a giant creature there to

I found mine without it's clean up crew

You'll never need trilobites after taming this boi

Can you passive tame while riding itchy? Because those rays gonna make me hit the basilo

This guy is a power house! I use it to collect biotoxin and angler gel, combine this with a lasarus chowder and youre pretty much sailing smoothly.

I tamed up a megladon sarco and Barry they went with them found a basi shoot at the mantas they agro kill them all start taming and then you have 3 creatures to protect you easy easy tame !

Why do these Deformed whales eat an truck load of Food when u sprint?😑😑

You can get lots of black pearls by killing Tusos

( they are really strong )

Do not tame basil with raw or cooked fish meat

If you don’t have saddle, kill and harvest to get loads of oil hide and prime meat

If u play on mobile DO NOT GO NEAR ROCKS BEHIND DEAD ISLAND MY FULLY IMPRINTED BASILO WITH ASCENDANT SADDLE DIED TO MESH💔🤬😭cost me 2k metal too

If ure are planning to imprint this guy, from my experience get 3 of ur dinos filled with meat the babies eat A LOT It ate 1 stack in 30 to 40 seconds

I’m a noob at ark but at around about level 30 I tamed two of these beasts!They were both low levels but 10 levels later(of me not the Dinos)they have killed just under 50 megs and mantas!I simply rode up to them on my itchy and gave the raw meat/fish meat as it wasn’t prime meat it only did around 1and 2 percent so the percentage started to drop at around 60 percent so I gave them both soothing balm,which did 20 percent each piece of meat.A must tame for al levels of players.they usually spawn in the lagoon of herbivore island and around it.They attract manta and itchys,but only itchys when tamed.They produce oil when tamed.You don’t need a saddle to make then useful.

I hoped you like this review!

Use a itchy when trying to tame because the mental and sharks does not aggro on it
