What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easy tame just kill the mantas and you're good very powerful Dino for there size too, and ideal in caves
Stay close and keep feeding the basilosaurus. Straying to far can reset the taming meter. If the taming meter resets your taming effectiveness leaves off where you left off. If this happens your best to kill it and try with a new basilosaurus.
This tame is best to do with multiple people, or about 3-4 water Dinos. Every time you feed it,you'll aggro all mantas and sharks in the area.raw prime spoils super fast so tribe mates will need to make extra runs for it.
Found one near S3 E1, I killed the mantas ( it was right at the surface) and I tamed it, I lived at South 1 so I headed back (I had an Itchy) and I got close to my home then it got mauled by Megaladons, about 15-ish of them, I was very sad that I just tamed him then 2 minutes later he’s in the megaladons stomachs
I experimented with taming a level 5 of this guy on an Icthy. Just thinking on experimenting with the taming effectiveness of raw meat and raw fish meat. Fed it on my Icthy (not dismounted) with raw fish meat first. It got if I remember correctly 6 mantas with it. The mantas tried to locate me but were unsuccessful so they patrolled around for a while. They never located me then I accidentally hit the basil with Icthy trying to kill the mantas. The mantas ran away leaving me free to tame it. P.S. They didn’t come back to the basil.
Before you can passive tame it, you'll need to kill off all of the mantas that swarm around it. A low level Plesiosaur can easily get the mantas' attention and clear them out without much hassle.
Took a lonv time to eat the second, but after that it started eating really fast.
Why r u all trying to kill the predators around it? I just got an itchy, tamed it, put on its saddle, rose to the surface and watched as I killed all of the megs like it killed my family!
When I tried to tame this beautiful basilo, I was taming it with cooked meat. I got to 95% on taming, but then the tame bar started to rapidly decrease. When your taming a basilo remember, use theriz kibble... (don’t do what I did...)
Have Fun <3
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.
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.
Lord they’re ugly... wait that’s my brother, my bad
Take a rifle and snipe the mantas...Problem solved
Best underwater Dino in my opinion.
On genisis there are no mantas guarding them so it’s a free water mount basically
