How do I kill a basilosaurus? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
So I play ark mobile I am a starter but I used so ticket Soo.. normal day a basilosaurus literally spawn at the herb island WHICH is my base too so I thought let's kill him it would be a low lvl but literally it was a frickin lvl 435 I have a 15 balm I buyed kibble and tamed it.its littery my one of the favorite now
I never see these alone I always these guys with tons of mantas on it.
A good reason I would tame one and start breeding them is tusos can't grab you so there pretty much tusos proof
If you find one, bring a bunch of your sharks with you if its surrounded by manta. Bait the manta to follow you, then let your sharks kill them. Now you tame it
If you want to kill it and all the mantas at once, swim up to it (I'm pretty sure they only attack you if you feed the Basilo), strap c4 on it, swim away, and enjoy the fireworks.
He has a beautiful singing voice once tamed
Be careful of the stingrays around him
So normally when you see a basilosaurus you normally encounter high level megs and manta and creepy Crawleys so be prepared with weapons!
If ya wanna know where to find these awesome whales, they are on the continental shelf of herbivore island(southeast).
I was riding my ichthyosaur clover and I saw this thing near the shore somewhere, I thought is was a mosa at first 😂, it didn’t attack my though so that’s good.
When taming a basilo use a balm it will help but make sure to have something to help you defeat the manta and ichthys they swarm the basilo like there its guard
These guys can usually be found around herbivore island, but do be careful if you are on a raft because sometimes a leedsichthys can spawn around herbivore island and they will destroy your raft.
I just went into super shallow water and it was right there. I killed the mantas and now am trying to tame it.
You can find them in dead in ragnorok so I recommend harvesting there body and get oile.
I find basilo‘s really easily in the bay at the northern tropical island on the center and it’s an easy area to tame them too 😊
I encountered them in multiplayer but no forge
Just takes two max levels. Mating pair. I killed the mantas with my tek bow then went in for the tame. First time and I thought it was easy 🤷♀️
The basilosaurus has some loyal guards with him that follow wherever it goes.
It depends sometimes all mantas(mostly 3),sometimes a Itchy with some mantas, and rarely no mantas at all with one itchy.
It's a passive tame by the way if you want to tame this beast and generates oil which is useful
Leave them on neutral because everything attacks them for no reason, even if they’re on passive
I found one without any mantas near it. Is that normal? I tamed it with raw meat on mobile.
