Lead the mantas away and other hostiles. use baryonyx to stun and kill all hostiles. Then give it any meat and it tames very fast.

Use a Baryonyx to remove the manta around the Basilo and profit, really easy to obtain and useful tame

You can imagine my surprise when I found out that these guys were passive tames.

If you want a ton of oil but you don’t know how to get any just get on your itchy and start killing one of these they give you like 250 oil every time you kill one up if this was helpful

Sincerely chicksleeper

Ride Dolphin because Manta & Magaladon won't attack on you. If u ride Manta then Megaldon will attack on you.

STEPS :

1) Take Raw meat / Prime meat

2) Get on Manta

3) Feed . . .

DONE

If your going to tame these and your on mobile here’s a few things :)

Go to herbivore island, they spawn there.

You need to tame a ichthy.

If your on a ichthy no mantas will attack you when your around baslios many mantas are to.

I suggest you bring a decent weapon to protect you. Like a sword or some sort of gun just in case,

Very simple tame but only issue is once the Baslio is tamed the whole damn ocean comes after it so get out of there with your baslio quick otherwise you and the baslio will be murdered and after taming one you might wanna build shelter for your sea creatures if you haven’t lol

I have some tips on this guy.

They are good tames, underwater tanks, high inventory space, making you cool in warm places and warm in cold ones, and they produce spoilable oil (if you want oil just kill a wild low level to get lots of oil).

Taming this things is easy, tame a Ichthyosaurus, make a saddle, hop on, go to deep seas (near the herb island is the best), kill a low level one to get raw prime meat, then put it in your tame inventory to make them immune to spoiling for a bit more time.

Find a High level one and tame it, they took their time getting hungry the first time but from the 2 one they get hungry pretty quick.

This guys are very cool, they make a very calming sound, but they have a BIG problem, this things get attacked by any wild thing in water with no reason.

I once got inside of my underwater cave with my Ichthyosaurus and I heard the fight sound track, I came out and saw 10 mantas, 5 megalodones, and 5 electrophorus killing my basilosaurus :(

I lost my 590 oils, 5k hide and 5k fibre and my journeyman’s compound bow :(

R.I.P my level 50 basilosaurus 🪦

Use normal meat to tame, tame dolphin, and get OP Dino

My tribe has one of these beasts with 60k health, Another tribe came and with a turret raft and our 60k health basilo was the only thing that survived. We play on a normal difficulty server.

We were living out of a bunch of rafts

Tamed basilos can only produce 20 purple oil at a time but killing a basilo will give you about 200 regular black oil so it’s more worth killing them than taming them to get oil

They are surrounded by mantas so be careful

This thing is a shark magnet! (after game ) Everytime I try and do anything with the Basil, I'm swamped with Meg's. He did really well till just about t mins ago. 5 Meg's and an uncountable swarm of Mantas was too much. The Meg's target the Basil from way off and make a full on charge at him every time.

Took me 30 minutes to tame one on a 15x server, feels great

Really great creature

Soft skin

cute

Immune to jellies

too fast healing on surface

Okay damage

Passive tame but hard to tame one

Oil produces in inventory

Too good in pvp because of fast healing

Fast

Keeps cool in warm and warm in cold

Thats probably best tame for hunting.

Idk why but there is always like ten mantas around it

Ride water dino because it can make water dinos attack us

who the HELL said bug repellant works. I DIED THRICE ATTEMPTING TO TAME THIS THINKING THE REPELLANT'S GONNA REPELL THE MANTAS. but yea im getting my baryonixes n killing them now idc

Speed is key. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom all about. When in doubt, put on da tek suit.

My favorite thing to do is get one or two tribe mates get on our manas and get the mamas around it to chace them then start feeding it

I recommend you bring a sword or pike to help with the mantas, if that doesn't work bring a shark.
