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

I’m taking a level 10 one at herbivore island with just a level 12 bary and a level 30 Diplo with levels only in oxegen and the tame is going well

As soon as you feed one of these the first time all the surrounding mantas will swarm you! Bring a baryonyx to wipe them out before they do it to you!

So the flaws of breeding baby Vasilis

They need meat constantly and for some reason they loose stamina for no reason.

After fully grown it will slowly start to fill up and then you can start your new powerful basilo journey

On Mobile the ichties and mantras will swim away after the first feeding but the ichties will come back after a few minutes but the mantas will go forever and will be very far away

This is great for players who want a lot of fish meat,just hop onto a ichty and go near this thing and feed it kibble(20-100 depending on level) it will take some time through so be patient,once tamed equip it with saddle and boom!!!,no megalodon or dunklectous will survive…

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…

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

Take out mantas first by shooting at it then retreating to beach. Then shoot at it to scare it to shore, and knock it unconscious. Once it's asleep build a pen around it and tame it when it wakes.
