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.

Good for under water caves

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

Somehow when wild in Ark mobile. It eats

Rex kibble.

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

not good dino for travel or battle but a good dino for oil farming dont need to go to far place to get oil and dont need to build the thing that dig up oil this dino is the same thing but it take time but it will produce oil slowly but good oil farming and easy tame with prime meat or prime fish but remenber it not good for combat or speed

Water MONKE usefull for oil...monke

This creature create ripple on the water surface above them. Maybe you can use this to find them

Just find one near the shore. Get a crossbow or something and shoot the mantas on the shore. Then just feed it. Their a passive tame.

Lord they’re ugly... wait that’s my brother, my bad

Literally a giga from the sea cuz has fast regen stamina and health immune to jellyfish stuns and dismount effects a oil generator literally can get you so much bio toxins and has huge health bruh did Minecraft give the basil these effects lol

I have one and its 8039 HP //._.//

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
