I wish they were knockout tames
Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Why does the taming bar run out when it reaches 69%?
It's really pissing me off
Bring soothing balm from the south cave and it only took 8 fish meat for a lvl 15
Steelslaughter here! Basilosaurus(king lizard) name is misleading, for it is a whale. Paleontologists that discovered it and realized the mistake tried to rename it Zeuglodon (Yoke tooth), but the name never caught on.
I tamed two and i will tell you a story how
So i was riding my ichthyosaurus i saw a basilosaurus i swam up to it it said feed raw meat to tame so i took the meat out of my ichthyosaurus and i fed it while riding the ichthyosaurus and tamed the male basilosaurus then i saw…

ALWAYS BRING ICHTHYOSAURUS’S!
When you get to like 50% tamed on this dude it the bar starts going down when you use raw fish meat I couldn’t tame this guy so... i killed it😔
To tame ride on a ichy and feed it prime meat and normal meat (don’t feed it fish meat). They can be found in the shallows of herbivore island
Don’t tame at a level lower than 45, It will take forever to get the saddle!!! (Required Level 60)
I found one stuck in the shallow water, WITH A MEGALODON. Went right up to it and absolutely nothing happened. Definitely pretty passive creatures though.
Or if u have a ichythosauraus, just ride it while having food in hand
Confirmed at least to me that going away from it between feedings appears to make it go quicker.
Tame it on a icthy so sea flap flaps don't kill you
There will be tons of aggressive mantas around the Basilosaurus. Bring a Baryonyx to tail whip the Mantas, then kill them and you should have no problems trying to tame the Basilosaurus. Or use Bug Repellant.
I have a basilosaurus and from the first day of taming it it was able to kill megalodons within 3 hits.
(Be in mind that I play ARK Mobile so it may not be exact on Xbox,PS4, etc.)
Tamed one during a 2x event and it took 24 mins not 12 with kibble, it was level 145 female
Feeder timer for kibble was about 70 seconds not 51 like mentioned at the time of this posting
Use a baryonyx to carefully agro the mantas and then your good, I used cooked prime meat to tame mine and once you feed them swim out of tender distance and you’ll be able to feed them again literally like 10 seconds, if you hang around it’ll take longer to eat because…

kill everything around it before feeding
A good place to find these is on the west side of the island like mosas. When I found mine I dived to the floor and found a mosa.
The basilosaurus is amazing. Kills anything 1-2 hits and regens really quickly. Just take a sword and feed it prime fish meat. It produces 5 "oil" every 6-7 minutes
