What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Tame a sino and make a scream and all the mantas will leave
Be careful all water creatures near it will attack you! When you feed it!
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
The mantas need to be killed to take it
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 🤷♀️
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
Can you passive tame while riding itchy? Because those rays gonna make me hit the basilo
It’s worth noting that Sinomacrops’ ability to scare creatures APPLIES TO MANTAS. If you go near a Basilosaur, and punch/aggro a manta, your Sinomacrops can scream and scare off the Mantas, and they usually won’t come back in my experience so far
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 !
