Tips & Strategies
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 LOVE them. they are super nice tames. they are basically big itchys on steroids. and are just as fast. love em love em love em!
While taming the Basilosaurus you need to have a underwater dino to make it easier to swim back up and get air and the Basilosaurus is a slow taming process so do be patient.
It's best to get a baryonyx to stun and kill every manta around it
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
Is not affected by Cnidaria or electrophorus shocks, this in addition to its surface healing makes it a great mount
I just tamed a male I named him Riptide and he was killed by 7 megs and 3 mantas 5 seconds later rip riptide
Want lots of fish meat? Well you’re in luck! Tame one of these bad boys and your set! (Warning mantas and megs follow these and will attack u when taming) once you got it tamed mount your fishy friend and kill Mantas,Fish,Megs,etc and you can get loads of fish meat! (Literally I just killed like 5 mantas and 2 megs and now I have 11 stacks of raw fish meat )
I got attack on an ich while I was feeding it , HOW?!?!?tell me
Two things I found to make these incredibly easy to tame:
1. Baryonyx - this guy will destroy the mantas and anything else that will threaten your taming
2. Scuba gear for ease of life underwater for the next 10 mins
Job done!
I play in mobile if u ride a icthyosaur while taming it the manta's won't attack u
After first feed on a 150 with kibble it won’t be hungry for almost 5 mins.
The one I came across had mantas around it...LOTS. thought I killed em all... Nope. Make extra sure you kill them, and look around a bunch before attempting anything with it
Once you're able to passively feed the basil, I repeat DON'T LEAVE IT ALONE!
The first feeding is at least a 5 min wait, but once you get to the other feedings you'll have to constantly feed it every 8 seconds or else you’ll lose taming progress.
