Sometimes has ichys instead of mantas, I found on at herbavore island with ichys when doing hunt basilosaurus

I use an archelon to tame these. It kills the entourage, gives you oxygen, and can just roll along with the basi as you hop off and feed it

Bra this thing is a killer i fought a alpha mosa and lose like 3-4k health only it's just insane the alpha had like 56k health..... it's a must have dino and it took 1shotingbalm and 1therizino kibble...this thing is undisputed of the ocean......but sadly it take damage when in the depts of the ocean but it has tones of health good luck

They passively make oil for all your cooking and electrical needs!

In mobile a lot of em spawn near the herbivore island , and most have no manta (with me at least) ,use a dolphin for this since their quick and if your running out of air you can easily bolt up to the surface.

Be careful while trying to take these guys because when you try to feed them while there are mantas around it then all hell breaks loose

For the people who are having a really hard time taming this creature and it’s tame bar resetting when that happens I recommend using some prime meat and kibble anything that can make the taming percentage high I used a smoothing balm 10x in ark mobile got a 10x taming boost I just fed the basilosaures 1thrizinosaures egg kibble and it was tamed

Accidentally punched an ammonite? Pray that you have one of these things because these guys are tanks and dish out decent damage, sure they get damaged in the deep but the damage is abysmal.

Can't be tamed and stored on the Underworld Center because it loses health due to water depth

When you feed the basilosaurus yo will notice “Red mist” come from its mouth, this must attracts nearby water carnivores like megalodon to you so be careful and maybe bring some body Guards when taming this thing

I found a basilo quite near south zone it only had 2 low-level mantas and it tames fast I'm trying to get GPS to find the coordinates of where it is I'm gonna try to tame it after I get better weapons and a scuba diving set

If you wanna kill those demon jellyfish then I definitely recommend the basil because it is immune to their damage.

If you live next to like a bay or a deep ish reviver then I recommend you tame two one for underwater exploration then keep the other ones stamina as low as possible and swim it around the river that way the stamina runs out and they will eat to re gain stamina then they will produce oil because they are naturally behind fed (note force feeding them won’t produce oil they have to eat by themselves)

The guy who said "First make sure the area is clear" bro I spent 5 hours waiting for the area to clear.

Just get a meg or a high level icthy and lure the mantas surrounding it to someplace more open and kill them. If you kill the first lot following the basilo, another lot won't spawn and the basilo will be perfectly alone.

Keep in mind if any creature attacks the basilo, the taming will reset.

These guys take damage on asgard vanaheimm and jotumheim its annoying like I learned the hard way lol

I find them in the waters between the Herbivore island and the lava cave peninsula

This is one of those tames that is flawless this is why:oil generator, immunity to being shocked by jellies or electric eels,squid grabs,very powerful healing when near surface and it's only weakness is the deep but it's worth it

If you want to kill the mantas around it get a tanky Barry and swim around them, lead them away from the basilosaurus and stun them.

It doesn't get stung by jellyfish!! Go get you some biotoxin young lad!!

The Basilosaurs can autonomously produce oil
