How do I kill a basilosaurus? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If u won't tame it and pick it, it gives a ton of prime meat, hide and oil, def worth it
I wish they were knockout tames
Steelslaughter here! Basilosaurus(king lizard) name is misleading, for it is a whale. Paleontologists that discovered it and realized the mistake tried to rename it Zeuglodon (Yoke tooth), but the name never caught on.
I found one stuck in the shallow water, WITH A MEGALODON. Went right up to it and absolutely nothing happened. Definitely pretty passive creatures though.
A good place to find these is on the west side of the island like mosas. When I found mine I dived to the floor and found a mosa.
These guys are amazing and very good they are carnivores so you can tame them with meat.
Just get 4 to 5 dolphin thing idk its name ichi something the other attack the mantas or the meg sneak up and feed it its so easy
I found one beached on the north coast of the ragnarok highlands. If you find a dead one you can get loads of oil hide and spoiled meat.
Do not use a dolphin to tame they might die to manta I dismounted my dolphin and then 30 mantas attacked me then I respawned and it said “ your dolphin was killed by Manta LVL 37!”
Hint they live in deep waters and they are kinda like ammonites except mantas I see them a lot if you feed it the mantas will find you and MURDER YOU
Use Your most Strongest Raptor to Kill all the Mantas Suronding It and kill other Carnivore Fish, then you Are set up to tamed it :p
Lord they’re ugly... wait that’s my brother, my bad
Best underwater Dino in my opinion.
Ok get dolphin and saddle approach the basil mantas will follow it sacrifice a dolphin don’t swim to the mantas go to the Big creature Feed it prime meat
Then you got yourself a a king
I can somehow tame this level 60 Basil’s but not a 105??
I… I… think I saw one…! And I just started!
If you whistle neutral they will run away, also if you have another following you it will not attack when whistled too
So. I was taming some icthys in the ocean (I have 10 btw) And I saw this thing. I was riding my icthy(Mr FEESHY) so I was like “oooooooh a new thing ta kill. So I rode up and killed all the mantas. (I hate them btw) I started attacking it but it didn’t react. It was like level 9 and had like 5000 hp so I thought it was waitin until I stopped attacking so it could KILL me. But still, did not react. I was like “ if dis ding don’t react within the next 10 secs I gonna murder him.” But it didn’t so I murdered him. It was about 20-30 ark days before I learned that it was passive and you could hand feed it. It was about 30 ark days before I spotted another one. 1 up=1 brain cell 4 me. 😂😂😂
Use sarco because it swim very fast if you have high level only use it ride it when travel to basilo food oxygen and stamina it makes life easy and this thing can take alot of damage and deal ton only downside its flat attack range goodl luck with that lol
I found a maxed level 150 at Carno Island!!!
