How do I kill a basilosaurus? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Apparently they do spawn on lost island it is just that they are super rare
Maybe I’m not feeding it right, but it’s taming speed drains so fast that you would need infinite prime raw fish meat tame it.
Yo, just a warning, and most of y'all prolly know this,but it's surrounded by Mantas...
Normally a bunch of mantas spawn neer it so be ready
Kill these with mosas, you will get 1000 oil easily if you do so.
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.
Bug repellent will keep the mantras off your back, right up until you give the basil some food.....
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
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
