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

Excellent for getting bio toxin from cnidria's (jellyfish) . I use them whenever i want to restock on shocking tranq darts which can be unlocked at lvl 96 .

Kill Everything around it. Your best bet is a Baryonyx. Ichthys will be as good as dead, Megalodons might get shred by Mantas as well. To get the aggro of Mantas, just attack one that is away from the Basilosaurus and the others will come to retaliate.

If you plan to use Raw…

Found a lvl 140 by Stonehenge. Used my Baryoynx w/

320 ish melee and that was perfect for killing the mantas and sharks. I used 26 theri kibble and the tame went flawless. Tamed out at 207 and has a nice red color to it. Named it Tamoto Basil. Bring extra oxygen tanks just in…

Use a megalodon or bigger to tame since they always have a crack team of sea pancakes following it. If using a megalodon watch out for other sharks since they have the aggro range of a god. I usually find them around herbi island

*scuba tank just 1

*shark

*ovis

*chainsaw

On single ex took about 16mins for a 140 fed 1 or 2 pieces of mutton then 5-7mins later started 8sec intervals put mutton in the shark with preserving salt started with 17mins on mutton ended with 1:46mins on mutton keep preserving…

I always find them around herb island .. best way to tame I found is one guy on an ichty following and feeding it and another guy on a baryonyx or other quick strong water tame to fight off any threats that may interrupt taming

These guys are totally overpowered I got a 150 mutton tamed and killed a alpha mosa with it and still had half life xD mine got 30k health and 450mele he could kill everything solo when jou got low health swim up and they Regen pretty fast

Make sure to kill all the sea pancakes before attempting to tame as they do NOT like you getting close. An easy tame once you get rid of the threats.

OMG why is everything trying to kill me and I didn’t even go near any ammonite

Really if your doing anything underwater scuba and icthy since nothing attack’s it

Happy hunting

Taming bar started dropping for unknow reason. Must need to tame it quickly. They give a bunch of oil if you kill them but x plants for so.e reason don't want to Target it for more than a hit or two at a time.

Suggested that using a decent sarco carrying a certain amount of mutton and a pack of preservatives which is not difficult to assemble.The sarco is strong and fast enough in the ocean while encountering a group of mantas or the sharks around the basilo.Also taking care of being…

(Ps4) Use a tamed dolphin and press triangle around the front flippers and you will dismount and feed the basil at the same time. Make sure you have food in last slot of course. The dolphin can get you to the surface quick to get air.

First time I saw it I was happy but that ran quick when I saw that it was surrounded by 50 stingrays. How luck can change
