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

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.

When you find one of these when you hit them with whatever any water creature nearby will attack you

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 🤷‍♂️

I have a level 2 basilo in ark mobile it use it to kill other basilo for prime and oil it’s so op I got 800 in mere minutes it’s amazing

There good at

Getting oil

Getting biotoxin

Hunting megs and mantas

And good for carrying lots of items.

I love my basi, It is one of favorites.

There good at tips.

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.

Describing them two words: Super OP

Try not to die when feeding it

I’m planning to tame this guy so I cannot to be scared of them

it helps people get out of fear of jellyfish

Tame a basilo at around level 100, you are now pretty much king of the ocean, that thing can take on alpha megalodons, outdistance a mosa and kill pretty much everything else except tusos.

Trust me noobs once you get a mid-high lvl Basilosaurus you’ll never be scared of the ocean again.

I killed a mid lvl mosasaur with my lvl 220 Basilo and only took 200 damage out of my 16K health.

This guy does not like to swim alone so he stays with his manta friends be careful

Today I used my level 282 basilo to kill an alpha Tuso. For those of you who have never encountered a regular Tuso, they spray ink, blinding you. Alphas are also 3 times faster. Basilos are very slow. I think you see the problem here

Pro Tip: Basi’s won’t spawn with a whole gang of mantas on Gen 1 map, making it much easier to tame. You also have increased oxygen and swim speed in Gen 1’s Ocean Biome so you won’t need scuba gear and you can outswim Megalodons easily.

I tamed a lvl 150 and it actually killed two alpha mosa at once granted we barely survived but still impressive and a must have in the ocean.

The feeding intervals are more like 10 minutes

This is a beast my lvl 17 basil took out 3 lvl 57 megs
