Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If the basilosarus is surrounded by creatures kill them so they won’t get in your way and try to build a pen so then don’t wander off if there in a pool like the one in herbivore island
I’m a sea bob after taking this big guy 😎😎😎😎
These creatures are amazing, I use these for the water caves due to their immunity to shocks from eels and jellyfish. Plus their the health of regains fast. And generate oil, definitely a creature to have
just tamed one of these only to drown mid-fight against some megs. terrified that i was about to lose my tame so soon, i hurried back to where i died as fast as i could... only to find my basil had WRECKED all the megs. he can kill one shark in less than a minute! we traveled…
just tamed one of these only to drown mid-fight against some megs. terrified that i was about to lose my tame so soon, i hurried back to where i died as fast as i could... only to find my basil had WRECKED all the megs. he can kill one shark in less than a minute! we traveled from herb island all the way to carno island, and he gained 10 levels along the way from killing more megs, plus he collected so much fish meat he was almost encumbered. definitely a must tame--you'll never have to worry about megs, mantas, or jellyfish again.
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.
These things are like superman and wolverine. They are invulnerable to tusos, jellyfish, and eels. When they get to the surface they get insane health back. They only have one weakness depth in the ocean, they get damaged.
Sometimes has ichys instead of mantas, I found on at herbavore island with ichys when doing hunt basilosaurus
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
They passively make oil for all your cooking and electrical needs!
Every time you punch a basilosaurus or feed it any mantas, megalodons, or ichthyosauruses near it will automatically take one damage (you probably wouldn't notice this as they automatically heal it back but they will make sound effects as if they took damage) then become…

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…

Yo, basilosaurus are the goats. If they can't be grabbed by a tuso and stunned by electrophorus and cnidarians, the ocean' annoying wonders, it would mean it's in grabable
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.
Can't be tamed and stored on the Underworld Center because it loses health due to water depth
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
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…

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.
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…
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)
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
