What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One of the best tames on genisis because its slightly better then normal ones and nothings follows it in the ocean and also you can get its kibble by tier 3 loot crates
So normally when you see a basilosaurus you normally encounter high level megs and manta and creepy Crawleys so be prepared with weapons!
Eat, sleep, tame, repeat. There now u need potent dust๐
If you are taming at herb island put a spino really close feed it once than when the mantas come after you use your spino to kill the mantas

If ya wanna know where to find these awesome whales, they are on the continental shelf of herbivore island(southeast).
Here is the steps for taming one
1.kill all megalodons,mosas,dunkleostius,
2.tame with meat or prime meat
3.once tamed quickly go to safe spot for it
I haven't ever been damaged or had a notification of being damaged from the deep sea parts while riding this thing. I've been along the seabed multiple times with no issue at all.
You want to go with your icthy and
Just feed that but high level you want
Soothing balm
To tame easy just get sarco and saddle, whoosh past the basilo and feed at same time rinse and repeat.
I was riding my ichthyosaur clover and I saw this thing near the shore somewhere, I thought is was a mosa at first ๐, it didnโt attack my though so thatโs good.
They donโt do anything when attacked and regen super fast in shallow water
They donโt attack if you get near them.
I find basiloโs really easily in the bay at the northern tropical island on the center and itโs an easy area to tame them too ๐
Don't fight it its not aggressive until you attack it
Be careful of the stingrays around him
Please upgrade stamina so you're not like me where you're getting eaten by everything in the ocean. If that does happen hop off it and hope that it destroys everything and doesn't die.
At Viking bay on ragnorok they spawn sometimes but watch out for megs!
I found mine at Viking bay on ragnorok
Just give it some meat it will be tamed in no time and itโs very useful I had one of them take down a megalodon I think idk if it was just a different type of shark
