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

Rare Flowers affect the Basilo (slightly inconsistently) allowing you to kite it into your own water pen for a super safe, even easier tame involving much less swimming about. Seems to require you to eat at least 2 flowers to trigger the aggro effect, and it loses aggro the…

Get an ichy and aggro mantas. Then lead them far away. Then return to basi quicky fees it and run off wait 5 mins then return to feed again. People keep saying ichys do not get aggro by other creatures but that is so not true so becareful and watch your surroundings.

I got lucky and was able to find one of these things without mantas near it in the shallows of Herbivire Island...thank goodness, do not use fish meat!!

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…

For the peeps that asked,

Mantas like the basilos cuz it says in the dossier that they make a mess when eating so mantas are kinda like scavengers that eat the left overs

After the first feed, it will take a long time to want to be fed again. Don’t worry. Just follow it around and keep it safe. After a while, it will want to be fed again and it will progress according to the time intervals on the app.

For that one guy saying these things are op and you need to nerf them, the ocean is already full of under powered, ultra nerfed creatures that you can tame, like seriously man what are thinking, the ocean is fun but a bunch of animals are weak compared to alphas, and can easily…

So I found this guy at a island where herbivores spawned I had some prime meat I feed it and I tamed it once it is tamed everything attacks it

I tamed mine with a baryonyx to kill the manta bodyguards. The time between the first and second feeding interval takes a while, so sit back and grab some coffee while you wait. Regular meat will do as after the second feeding, the interval is only about 10 seconds. Make sure…

Facts. They help you stay warm and cool

They lose hp in the deep

They are passive tames

They are immune to cnidarias and eel stings

Do not feed It with meat while on the deeps, It damages instead of healing the basilo, but when at medium depths and on the surface the meat will heal them normally, Upboot If you found this useful, i learned by myself.

The Basilosaurus is really easy to tame. It is a passive tame, so all you have to do is stay away from hostile creatures jellyfish, manta, etc. Then you feed it your meat, I chose raw meat, and you feed it until it is tamed. It get really hungry really easy, so it doesn't…

These dudes Are gods of the seas cuz they don’t get effected by jellyfish and they have lots of hp and they are tanky and they can go very deep and mine killed a level 90 megaladon and he was level 29 and he won without a scratch I tamed a dunkleo with a Basilo long story…

To anyone, all the nasty in the ocean will aggro on you regardless of whatever water mount your on in the PC version, so that must be a mobile only thing.

I found that you can use sarcos or itchys to tame these creatures just hit one of the rays and lure them away then after the very long first to second feeding after that it takes like 15 seconds to feed again

I tamed one of these of a 170lvl by feeding it raw meat and using a soothing balm. You had better use a soothing balm on high/med levels like mine but the taming process drops, so that's why you should use one. PRO TIP: Basilosauruses (Wild/Tamed) can automatically produce…
