What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This is by far one of the best water tames, has insane health regen and if you boost melee you can easily solo kill mosa and tuso alphas, good for jellyfish because cant be stunned. And keeps you warm underwater!
When you find one of these when you hit them with whatever any water creature nearby will attack you
They are everywhere on the Center map
Watch for mantas
So, it turns out that killing a Basilo gives tons of Oil. This thought occured to me while I decided to be a jerk on my own Basilo. So go out there on your Ocean Mount and kill so many of your basilo’s cousins and rake in so much oil you’d get America Jealous
The easiest way to tame this whale is to bring a Baryonyx with ya to deal with the manta's and sharks and to wear scuba gear. Once the sharks and manta are dead just passive tame the whale with either prime meat or Theriz Kibble.
5 Tips for the Basilo
#1 They are a slow tame
#2 They give an inoculation buff when you ride them
#3 They are not a deep diving tame
#4 They are the hardest passive in mobile their manta freinds attack you when you feed the basilo
#5 They take a very long time to tame there is no doubt in my mind use their preferred kibble
Thanks for reading. I'm Lilly and I do 1 tip per week
So I was feeding it with the mantas still alive, that ended up with a couple of inactive specimen implants. When I finally got it, The mantas ended up killing the damned basilo. So, don't keep the manta's alive.
This is the biggest deal you will ever own. Enjoy! Oh by the way: I hope you like mantas!

You can not feed basilos while riding a ichty (dolphin). You have to dismount (at least on Xbox and PS4) and if you dismount and feed the basilo the mantas will try to kill you.
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.
When taming the time between the first and second feed takes forever. To avoid this move well out of render and back again and it will be ready to feed 👍 Also upon your return be sure to kill everything in the area before continuing. Essentially an under water rex. great all round beast.
Just One of the OBRIGATORY TAMES FOR ANY TRIBE! It can be used for different objectives, Like farming oil(Yes, he have the ability to produce natural oil!) And farming biotoxine, once it isnt affected by the stun effect of the jellyfishes. It’s a greater defence than a Megalodon, due to it’s HUGE hp and moderated damage. Also, it protects you from high and low temperatures, then you can explore the ocean at night too! Simply One of the BEST tames for solo! 0% Hype, 1000% useful!
I find them all around herbivore island on mobile for those who have asked 👍 If you want high levels tho, I can only seem to find high levels around dead island and the snow biome 🤷♂️
