Normally a bunch of mantas spawn neer it so be ready

These guys are OP, a decent level can rekt an alpha mosa

Tanks they tank. If you boosted hp a lot then your set. Also they and a good dps to and a oil farm.

Good source of oil if you hate the ocean. Just tame around 3 and have them by the shore, they will have oil in their invo, really quick too. Just take the oil and quickly use it, it spoils after a while

I tamed one that is like lv40 and kills every other thing

basiliosaurus personality:a passive aquatic cucumber dino it’s easily a carnivore and surrounded by mantas (most of my encounters) taming: i recommend a itchy since that’s the safest way I recommend using raw meat or raw prime meat since it’s better then fish meat. Tamed and domesticated:basiliosaurus will be your personal guard in the water he will be a giga chad killing megs I tried that it’s amazing easy fish meat. That’s all you need to know!

I just tamed one and now I have slow but unlimited supply of oil

If you want a lot of oil you can just tame 4-5 of these guys they are easy to tame

DO NOT GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN WHEN INFINITESTATS IS ON because it will instantly die when you go to the bottom of the ocean because it has a crush depth

Kill these with mosas, you will get 1000 oil easily if you do so.

These babies right here are like heaters, if u wanna have a nice big buddy share their warmth, this Dino is for u.

Hi guys! Today I’m gonna teach u how to tame a fat dolphin. It has a strange way to tame because it’ll have little flat baked bread around it.( A.K.A manta) with that out of the way, let’s get started!😆

First step: KILL THE MANTAS!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR FRIEND ALIVE!!!!( just kill them) if u punch da dolphin then the mantas attack u but then u won’t hurt future friend! 🐬

Second step: bring scuba 🤿 gear. They take forever to eat. So before you feed it, u might want to enclose it in some gates.(I recommend stone is da best)

Third step: he is your friendly neighbor aquatic and will require a saddle. Other than that, he’s yours!!!

Quick note to remember: if u want this guy faster on mobile only, I recommend using smoothing or bathing balm on it which can be accessed by tribute to obelisk from a artifact.( except bathing balm, u need to pay for that with amber.)

They can spawn in the middle of herb island

Trust me, as good as the mosa and the plesiosaur looks, the basi is better don’t waste your time taming trashy tames

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.

The regen is insane the abilities are insane(being able to disregard any ocean critters specil attacks) and its stam is great

You need to tame these kids on the island especially, these are like the BEST for killing cnidaria, and they are pretty easy to tame if you do it right.

Step 1: craft a raft and go float over the basil

Step 2: watch the basil and when it surfaces (or goes near enough for u to get out in time to escape mantas and drowning) feed it some meat DO NOT FEED FISH meat is much more effective

Step 3: open your inventory and click on the taming thing (idk what it’s called) and make it so u can watch the basil from afar.

Step 4: Wait for it to surface (now much easier to do)

Step 5: Rinse and repeat

Please do the suicide tame strat because I almost lost all my flak armor to mantas only bring ur meat and a raft. I tamed a level 60 Basil that was so far out into the ocean using this method.

Up so the noobs can see :D

Literally don't unmount your itchy while feeding it

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

Pro tip here! When ever I find one of these I also find a bunch of mantas, so if you find one you will get a lot of fish meat!

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
