How do I kill a basilosaurus? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Sometimes has ichys instead of mantas, I found on at herbavore island with ichys when doing hunt basilosaurus
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
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.
I live on herb island and they spawn all around me just tamed one and it's my second most powerful tame (after a spino). These r a must have in my opinion
This dude is found around herbivore island
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
They are everywhere on the Center map
Why does all the mantas attack me when im riding an dolphin?!?! And why i cant feed it meat whitout unriding it?!?!
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
It doesn't get stung by jellyfish!! Go get you some biotoxin young lad!!
Watch for mantas
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 🤷♂️
This is the biggest deal you will ever own. Enjoy! Oh by the way: I hope you like mantas!

How to tame or kill for oil.
1.Get a baryonyx and use its aoe on the mantas until most are dead
2. Passive tame it ( Or kill for a hell lot of oil ) while your baryonyx is close incase a stray manta comes
3. Repeat until tamed
A balisosaurus will always be surrounded by some mantas(I haven’t actually counted how many, but it is a decent amount), aka. The death pancakes. If you are swimming nearby/attack the balisosaurus, the mantas will attack you. However, if you best the mantas and the giant whale, you can get a lot of oil and hide(with blubber as an exclusive win if you choose).
I have a level 100 basil and when looking for a male to breed I encountered an alpha megalodon and like 4 high level megs near it. I took out all of them without losing practically any health. The male I ended up taming the male basil and it got the final hit on alpha Meg, just a side tip alphas give crazy xp my lvl 50 male basil got 30 points from it!!!!!
I’ve tried to take these twice and failed both times. Damn Mantas. They are my second least favorite Ark water creature.
This is a beast my lvl 17 basil took out 3 lvl 57 megs
Extremely op I 1v2d a lvl 125 and 95 squid with a lvl 15 raw meat tame whale. After a long fight I killed both easily. I recommend putting in health stam and melee so that u can stay under longer, stand in fights longer, and hit harder
