Tips & Strategies

Haven’t seen anyone talking about this, but wild Basilos are useful in another way: taming lots of Mantas!
The Mantas that spawn around Basilosaurus are still dangerous, but unlike other Mantas they WON’T aggro if you’re simply nearby or accidentally touch them. With enough AnglerGel, you can tame a whole school without a problem and then tame the Basilo after you’re done. Plus now it’ll have its own personal bodyguards!
Just watch out for other wild Mantas, though. If you aggro them, even the Basilosaurus’s Mantas will attack you.

The basilo is a great underwater tame, preventing dismounts, when it goes to a certain depth it starts to lose health, although it has so much health it doesn’t rly matter, it is widely used for soaking underwater bases due to its high health, to protect yourself from being ezily underwater raided you can set ur turrets to only survivers, don’t do it on all turrets though only the ones that a basilo can soak you should put on only survivers
This creature has to be one of the most useful aquatic tames. It's literally the best bio toxin harvester because of its immunity to electric shocks, plus has amazing stats. We also can't ignore the fact that it generates oil passively. The cherry on top is that it's a passive tame!!
