What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just tamed one and taking back to my base, haven’t made saddle yet, but he’s already awesome. ( I mean she. ) She took about a year just to take one damn nibble of my raw meat ( don’t feed it it fish meat unless prime fish meat) but after the first bite she ate pretty quick. When taming it’s a passive tame. If your taming don’t think it’s a bug coz it won’t let you feed him again after first one he’s just tasting
Keep in my mind the first feeding interval after the intial one, can take up too 15 minutes from my wxperiwnce before the basilo is ready too eat again. I have a rented server and this is on 20x taming!
Mine keeps losin it's taming bar
Ok get dolphin and saddle approach the basil mantas will follow it sacrifice a dolphin don’t swim to the mantas go to the Big creature Feed it prime meat
Then you got yourself a a king
Basilosaurus has a taming glitch for me. I've been on Ragnarok and whenever I feed them (exceptional kibble or anything else) they eat it & I see them taming but they don't hungry again. I can punch them & they will get hungry but then their taming undos to zero. I'm trying on crystal isles & again thing, it has been going on for about six months when I can't tame them. Anyone else have the problem or suggestion ? I'M using dododex for feeding intervals & other taming info.
This is more of a question then a tip: how do you foretame not-violent in mobile?
For breeding must prepare raw meat around full weight of it's inventory cause it's food bar is very high and baby basilo eats so lot so lots of meat prepare in advance (mobile version offline)
Like ^ everyone to spread this useful information
I found one beached on the north coast of the ragnarok highlands. If you find a dead one you can get loads of oil hide and spoiled meat.
Grab an Icthy and raw meat, go to herbivore island, find one off the coast, and you’re basically done. You can outspeed the mantas easily, and clear out the megalodons in the area as well.
Do not use a dolphin to tame they might die to manta I dismounted my dolphin and then 30 mantas attacked me then I respawned and it said “ your dolphin was killed by Manta LVL 37!”
Hint they live in deep waters and they are kinda like ammonites except mantas I see them a lot if you feed it the mantas will find you and MURDER YOU
Just tame a million megladons bring them have them agro on what ever nasty is guarding it and then happy taming also raw meat works fine on these guys so long as it's a low level
Get a Shadowmane or a very strong fast water creature and kill everything around. If close enough the Mantas will join the fight and leave the Basi. Once finished with killing everything enjoy a nice quiet passive tame..
Use Your most Strongest Raptor to Kill all the Mantas Suronding It and kill other Carnivore Fish, then you Are set up to tamed it :p
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
Be careful when you feed it with other Dino's around that are attracted to it they will attack you when you feed it so I recommend you clear the area before taming
These guys are great for getting bio toxin, pump points into health and strength for a bio toxin farmer.
