What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get some Lazarus chowder (helps with oxygen), then stay for some time to get it nice and tamed (if low level). High-levels have SCUBA tanks to help.
He feeds quite quickly, if you find it's taking longer than usual. Move away for a minute as he may be spooked.
He took my mutton every 10 seconds
The info says it only takes one kibble but it actually takes 3 kibbles to tame 👆they can fix this
Watch out because these things have a lot of sting rays following them everywhere and sometimes megalodons
If you’re having trouble with swarms of mantas whilst trying to tame this epic beast, I recommend checking the cove at herbi island. They sometimes spawn there and there’s much less creatures to deal with
So I was doing hunt basilo Pursuit when I found it I abandon the pursuit then I killed the Megalodon took its meat swim up to the basilo (do not hit the basilo) and fed it the meat (I recommend using soothing blam first)
On The Island map, if you wait until one comes up to hang out in that little shallow area in herbivore island, it will be much easier to tame as long as you have a dolphin or manta. You won’t have to wait long because they commonly like to hang out in that shallow area.
Ride a good level sarco make sure you have your food of choice I recommend exceptional kibble or raw prime meat surprisingly they don't prefer fish also it's a passive tame they will always be surrounded by mantas which will agro if you brush past them or the basilo hurt the basilo or mantas and start taming so taming first brush past the basilo to separate mantas from the basilo kill the mantas once you done that approach the basilo and feed it then wait till it's hungry I think it's food has to go down 200 before next feed rinse and repeat and have ridding your new basilo tamed facts the basilo cannot be stunned by jelly fish or eels also it keeps the rider warm underwater cons the basilo has a crush depth that drains it's health slowly the depth is barrier entering the mosa plesy area they pretty much everywhere
It easy to tame and it’s vary tanky and powerful
You can find them at the bottom right island
Sooo when i tamed my first basilasaurus on valguero i feed it raw fish meat cause i forgot regular meat but before i tamed it i drowned..... but i came back with my icthy (my second strongest water dino hense the fact i was tring to tame a basilasaurus), got my stuff, but when i went looking for the basilasaurus it was gone. But luckily i found another one, tamed it, brought it home and jever tamed another basilasaurus...... but i did tame 2 x-basilasaurus breed them and lived happily ever after! Super worth taming them though!!!
For these guys try to get a megaladon or Baryonx and kill all the mantas and if you have kibble easy tame but if you Don’t try to protect it
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
