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

On The Island, I always find very quickly in the waters near South Beach, around 65 longitude. They're generally not difficult to spot, due to the swarms of Mantas and Ichthyosaurs. Though it's only happened to me once, I've found one stuck between a large rock…

Quick note wont produce oil for force feeding. Will only produce oil when they eat on their own. So if you want free oil, don’t put a cone of shame on them.

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!

I don’t know why, but nothing in the sea agrros on the dolphin. So it’s best slowly killing the mantas and then feed the basil

best creature ever can't be shocked by jellies, can't be grabbed by squids, does LOTS of damage, heals super fast at surface, and drops only raw prime meat and oil.

Dododex has its stats all wrong the amount of food or kibble is correct but the time is way off.

If you feed a basilo its first feed.

It will take roughly 2-3 mins untill 2nd feed the time is different if it's an evo weekend 3x it takes 29 seconds inbetween each kibble feed

On Ragnarok you can find a ton of these inbetween the two little islands in the bottom left corner. If your bad like me and have taming speed on 3x if you find one under level 69 it will instantly tame with exceptional kibble. You will die but your bassilo will kill the mantas…

I love these things 😍😍😍 They are literally king of the oceans and if you get a high level, almost nothing will kill you 👍 I have a level 232 with 30k health and does 400 damage 😱 Literally nothing will kill me now

Tame a baryonyx and move close to a basilo with mantas around it. Don't attack but let them aggro on you move away from basilo and tail stun/attack mantas till they are gone. Feed prime meat or mutton and wait forever for second feeding. Once it is hungry again it is only…

When Taming: DO NOT CHANGE THE FOOD YOU ARE USING TO MAKE IT GO FASTER, IT WILL DRAIN IT’S PROGRESS. Ex: Using meat then switching to prime then back to meat.

Best underwater creatures to tam. They produce oil but the oil CAN spoil. Weight is wonderful. Stamanis is decent. Not very fast under water. Rgains health quickly. Don’t need to knock out passive tame. 1st underwater creature in ark to tame.

Use a bary to get rid of the mantas, just shoot one with a crossbow from a distance to aggro them all and you can just stun them and kill them, easiest way to get rid of the mantas, got one tamed without scuba gear

To tame this creature you need an Ichyosaurus, because nothing will attack you if you are riding it. It takes a while for it to to start the second feeding. Also, make sure you’re using the same food or the taming process will restart. A must-have to get biotoxin, because…
