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

If you punch, or feed a wild basilo the 3 mantas that spawned with it will each take 1 damage then become aggressive towards you same goes for ichthys and megs that get close

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

If you wanna tame a good level Whale without waste sources gathering a Bary, you can Just use a fast mount tho hit mantas around the Whale and then make they follow you tho a secure distance from Basilossaurus.

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!

Managed to kill an alpha mosa with one! Wasn't max level at all, only lvl 100. They are badass, get decent health and you can survive most things! Also this is a biotoxin machine, taming has never been easier

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.

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.

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

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

Do HUNT BASILO pursuit on mobile to get an ascendant compound bow which is great for beating the boss. (I think pursuits are exclusive to mobile only)
