Encountering Tips

How do I kill a basilosaurus? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys always have a pack of mantas with them and is midpoint of the ocean
( these are also smaller than you think)
Beware. They use mantas to help them and they heal FAST!
I found one without any mantas near it. Is that normal? I tamed it with raw meat on mobile.
He has a beautiful singing voice once tamed
There is a big whale & small whale, you’ll know which is which when you see both. Ones alpha version will sink you on sight, but the other version is neutral. Carry on #save the dodos
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.
They don’t do anything when attacked and regen super fast in shallow water
They don’t attack if you get near them.
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 😊
Don't fight it its not aggressive until you attack it
Be careful of the stingrays around him
At Viking bay on ragnorok they spawn sometimes but watch out for megs!
I found mine at Viking bay on ragnorok
Leave them on neutral because everything attacks them for no reason, even if they’re on passive
I encountered them in multiplayer but no forge
They give a large amount of oil when you kill them...try to kill all the mantas with a good baryonyx and after it you can kill the Basilo (try to find some low level ones)
They give a lot of prime when you kill them, and wild ones will never attack you! Just watch out for the mantas, they can be quite dangerous without a good mount
Found on ragnorok 15 lon and 40 lat
