What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use a megalodon or bigger to tame since they always have a crack team of sea pancakes following it. If using a megalodon watch out for other sharks since they have the aggro range of a god. I usually find them around herbi island
*scuba tank just 1
*shark
*ovis
*chainsaw
On single ex took about 16mins for a 140 fed 1 or 2 pieces of mutton then 5-7mins later started 8sec intervals put mutton in the shark with preserving salt started with 17mins on mutton ended with 1:46mins on mutton keep preserving salt on you and the shark at all times goodluck
I always find them around herb island .. best way to tame I found is one guy on an ichty following and feeding it and another guy on a baryonyx or other quick strong water tame to fight off any threats that may interrupt taming
These guys are totally overpowered I got a 150 mutton tamed and killed a alpha mosa with it and still had half life xD mine got 30k health and 450mele he could kill everything solo when jou got low health swim up and they Regen pretty fast
Ive experienced, on xbox one, that the intervals for fresh/raw meet is 13 secs instead of 8, might be helpful
Suggested that using a decent sarco carrying a certain amount of mutton and a pack of preservatives which is not difficult to assemble.The sarco is strong and fast enough in the ocean while encountering a group of mantas or the sharks around the basilo.Also taking care of being trapped by mantas' strategic ring of encirclement.
Takes about eight minutes to eat again after the first feed
(Ps4) Use a tamed dolphin and press triangle around the front flippers and you will dismount and feed the basil at the same time. Make sure you have food in last slot of course. The dolphin can get you to the surface quick to get air.
First time I saw it I was happy but that ran quick when I saw that it was surrounded by 50 stingrays. How luck can change
Killing a basilo gives almost 300+ regular oil...sweet
Easily the best thing about the basilosaurus is that it is immune to the squid grab. Despite the pressure dmg it takes at those depths it is the best way to go after them.
Definitely not 51s intervals between kibble peeps...
When riding basilo u ll c ur protection against warm and cold rising up
First use a Baryonyx to stun all the mantas and itchys, then just kill them
You can use a Baryonyx to easily dispose of the Mantas with the stun attack. After that, this is a very easy tame.
I highly recommend the Basilosaurus - great for collecting bio toxin, very tanky and recovers health very fast when near the surface.
Easy tame just kill the mantas and you're good very powerful Dino for there size too, and ideal in caves
Stay close and keep feeding the basilosaurus. Straying to far can reset the taming meter. If the taming meter resets your taming effectiveness leaves off where you left off. If this happens your best to kill it and try with a new basilosaurus.
This tame is best to do with multiple people, or about 3-4 water Dinos. Every time you feed it,you'll aggro all mantas and sharks in the area.raw prime spoils super fast so tribe mates will need to make extra runs for it.
