How to survive, fight, and kill a wild Basilosaurus, from players who have done it.

I found one down the underwater slope of Herbivore Island. Check all around that place it may be worth it.

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

I’ve tried to take these twice and failed both times. Damn Mantas. They are my second least favorite Ark water creature.

I found mine while riding my itchy it was pretty easy tame I named mine bailey it makes oil so I don't have to look for trilobites I'm dont have a saddle for her yet but I really want to ride her

I found my very first one on the stranded island in the right bottom hand corner of the map, it’s a good place to start

WHERE THE BOY BASOS AT?! Play find females around where I went. Please help me find the boys.

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…

They often spawn in the shallow waters in herbivore island. Stego and bronto are the 2 close sources of prime meat there.

Why does all the mantas attack me when im riding an dolphin?!?! And why i cant feed it meat whitout unriding it?!?!

If you are playing ark mobile then ride on a icthy because there is a bug where when your on an icthy you won’t get targeted by mantas and megladons

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…

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

You can find these in the reverse peninsula on Ragnarok’s Viking Bay.

Literally everywhere at the back of carnivore or herbivore island 🏝

This can always be found with 2-5 rays following close by acting as body guards. Or at least it is every time I find them.

These are the ancestors of the whales guys THATS WHY THEY ARE PASSIVE

Been trying to find one for 3 days now and I'm starting to wonder did they go extinct on ark as well cause I can't seem to see find a single one.
