This thing is beast I took a army of wild megalodon out mins was a level 14 with a little over 5000 health barely took anydamage

Kill all the mantras by hitting one remotely near to it and they'll go after you then be like a manta and stick to its side to tame it

If you have a partner and a lightning wyvern you can hover above the surface and kill the manta squad with a few lightning blasts and then begin taming.

Take out the manta squad before feeding it because any sever without instant tame, every manta in the squad will target you.

If you have a friend playing, get him on a megaladon and agro the mantas away

Just git raw fish and feed it in the water

Tamed a super low level (54) but i killed a level 145 mosa and only got down to 2756hp (max is 5760.2) and right after literally gkt to the surface and killed a level 70 dunkle on my way back tk my base i farmed jellyfish and ended up with 262 bio toxin and 294 oil from killing another basilo

My favorite aquatic creature like the rex of the sea with the weight of a argy or low level quetz

Usually sorrounder by a bunch of unholy demons of the deep. If you have a bed set up nearby and decent oxygen levels you can just approach, feed then try to get as far away as possible before you get killed,then when you return the bodyguards have usually forgotten their job and started looking for other people to annoy

Punch mantas 1 by one and lead them to shore them kill them with a sword on edge tried it out and worked successfully mutton tamed a basilo 130 :))

Having at least a water critter would be your best bet when taming this. A sarco is a great suggestion, as it kills manta and can swim very fast.

The basils are the true royalty of the sea, a 150 kibble tame can kill almost anything unmatched. Get a group of 2 or 3 and the ocean is yours, breed them and they are absolutely disgusting, having high health and attack is best when bred the speed boost they get makes them killers

WARNING: A lot of aggressive things get distracted by these things. But if you kill all the dangerous things it's easy to tame even with just normal meat

With patience you can easily take on the underwater caves due to its high health pool and ability to be unaffected by eels and jellyfish. As long as you fight and then swim back to the cave entrance to regen you will encounter no problems.

If you want to tame one, but cant wait until you have scuba gear, i would recommend a diplocaulus and a megalodon/baryonix for the mantas. This makes taming much easier

There is sometimes alot of mantas around it

This thing is so annoying take out all the mantas before taming because when I tamed I had all the mantas in the ocean on me

There is a glitch when taming, wait until 2x if you are going to use raw meat or else the taming bar with start rapidly going down at 80% ish and you will have to start again. (I only used raw meat and stayed by it the whole time)

Found one stuck in a shallow area of the southern shores, mantas ran away when I fed it and managed to keep it in one place as I tamed it good tame for early game players if lucky

Have a friend lure away the mantas away then go in with the kibble

Important: On Ark Ultimate mobile edition (new ark mobile) these guys die instantly on deep water. No signal for low health, no 'red' screen that something goes wrong, just dying. Lost 2 of my basilos on South-east corner of the Island, near herbivore island just suddenly. Doesn't matter if you ride them or not, they die. RIP
