Please remember they are passive tame. I just forgot and almost got killed

If you are on one of these you are immune to being shocked of by jelly’s and they are also like your own personal oil rock

These oily bois will be very useful in maps like genesis where most oil is from the rock well part of the ship, use these to passively gain oil. To tame simply tame a baryonx with a decent level and a saddle to ride, stun the manta’s that surround it, the stun won’t affect the basil, then just kill the manta and begin the taming process with kibble or meat! Good luck

Don't raise deep underwater it takes pressure damage even in caves

Get rid of mantas before you feed, mantas don't like you feeding it. I learned the hard way

Tired of jellyfish? This guy is immune to their string set them in aggresive and ur underwater tame are safe for now

They will attract any sea life nearby so be careful when taming

A versatile tame in most sections. Combat, gathering, and exploring. It’s useful in most areas of the ocean except for deep diving. Unless ou don’t mind it’s help going down slowly it’s a great deep sea tame too. Especially how easy it is to get with the right dinos and prep.

These things are actually very strong for how easy they’re are to tame (relatively). I tamed a lvl 100 (wild, lvl 149 once tamed) and killed a pack of like 10 megalodons and only lost like 50 hp (it has 14K hp total).

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.

The best way to tame the basil get some megs and let them fight the mantas and use an itchy to tame the basil dont forget to get at least 5 megs

Basilos are very easy to tame if you have the right tools. Basilos are great underwater creatures with many efficent capabilities. LikeI said they are really easy to tame if you have the right tools. To tame you would need any meat to feed the basilo, but megalodons, mantas, and ichys follow them because of their of how they eat. So you would also need an ichys or any fast underwater creature to swim around and feed the basilo. I recommend when you feed it swim away and wait till it is hungry then go and repeat.

Watch out for the mantas they are so annoying ong

THEY DROP A UNGODLY AMOUNT OF OIL THIS GENOCIDE IS A MUST HAVE!!!

For those who lost the basilo from those pesky sharks just cryo pod it (pc and console only feature) or get out of render distance and teleport it to your base (mobile only feature)

Not entirely sure about Bas' Alt attack but it'll make a rainbow at surface levels.

Easiest tame all you need is a beezobufo and a ichthyosaurus . Feed it wait and get the ichthyosaur to attack the mantas while you are on the frog

To whoever said that these are the king of the ocean they literally are basilosaurus menas king lizard so that’s amazing

P.S can anyone tell me how to find one I’ve looked around herbivore island but cant find one i leave and go up to red I’ve done this more than 3 times yet I haven’t found 1

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
