They can spawn in the middle of herb island

I found 2 of these things near my base and I tried to go near it but it constantly went away. This thing really didn't like me lol.

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

Bug repellent will keep the mantras off your back, right up until you give the basil some food.....

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

Trilobites take up a place in their spawns so you’ll need to go and kill them as well as the Coelacanths, Megalodon, mantas and Leeds to get them to spawn if they haven’t already. I’d suggest looking along south coast of The Island and especially around Herbi Island.

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.

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

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.

It can be found up north on the island but it is quite rare

For some reason, when ever I go around the water surrounding Stone henge (near dodo island), I always find one of them just chilling by the shore with mantas. btw im on mobile

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 used my Baryonyx to tame one of these guys (went to herbivore island to find one). There was SO many mantas but it was fine I used my bary to lead them to me then stun and kill them, it wasn’t hard at all. Taming was easy as well since I used the kibble. (On mobile btw), so just have a baryonyx by your side and go to herbivore island and you’ll be set.

So I went to herbivore island and I found it on the shore and my noob ass trying to knock it out to tame😂😂😂😂😂

I got attack on an ich while I was feeding it , HOW?!?!?tell me

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

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

If you're playing on mobile I found a good deal of them on the south east. Also don't have it follow you I lost mine cause of megalodons.
