My partner and I tamed one of these. We killed all the mantas using a meg and a plesiosaur, passive tamed it ,it ate quite quickly) and easily got it! They like to be near the surface. Found one near the snow biome near the underwater cave in the west and have seen another around herbivore island. Great for eating jellyfish and harvesting hoo toxin! And I’ve just found out they make oil :)

I love it so much!!!!!!!!

Bring multiple baryonyx because the mantas can knock it out which no one on dododex felt the need to mention.

If you have a ichthy it’s so easy to passive tame it ( Bali ) just get about a few raw fish meat and boom you have tamed one ( Don’t forget to watch your oxygen )

One hit and it gets knocked

Out

I dont know if my game was buggy or not but, the tame was at 99% and I feed it. Instead of being tamed it dropped to 96% and so on, untell it was at 0%. The main part of this is to just be ready at any moment to lose your tame i guess, I know gow bad it feels now.

Make a boat with a taming compartment underneath. Wait for it to go near the surface. Glitch it in. Kill off the high level manta that are on its body. (Bring a crossbow or 2, there are a lot of high lvl mantas) when you feed it it emits a toxin that Aggros things on you. After eating the dirt at piece of food they take a long time to eat the second but once they do it’s like 8 second intervals. They make oil and regen stam and health fast. Can attack eels and jellyfish without being shocked, and can attack squids without getting grabbed. They take damage if you go down too deep.

Don't even use the kibble, lamb chops are much better for it

To tame the basilosaurus it's a passive tame so kill every thing around it and start feeding it

Makes a crazy amount of oil. You'll never have to go mine oil again.

Guys this guy attack me on in the water I was trying to get my stupid otter out

If you tame this stupid guy, the mantas would destroy you (because that happened to me 5 minutes ago I was wearing ascendant swim armor and I got killed in 3 seconds)

The easiest, but most time consuming, way to get a basilo is to tame all the mantas first before you tame the basilo. First, you go to the deeper parts where the anglerfish spawn, and you kill them and harvest their angler gel w/ your megalodon or other powerful sea mount. Once you got an acceptable amount of gel, you go up to the basilo and mantas, make sure you have the gel on the last slot, and spam-click Y/E to tame all the mantas. Once you took care of the mantas, switch the gel w/ prime meat to tame the basilo. Enjoy your basilo and your small manta army.

I found a maxed level 150 at Carno Island!!!

My Favourite and Easiest way to get a Basilosauros:

Get icthy. Pump health and speed. Get prime meat or kibble or whatever you have (preferably kibble, prime meat or mutton) and put it in last slot. Feed to Basilosauros, hop onto icthy really quick, then bait all the mantas as far away from the Basilosauros as possible. Most will not go back for Basilosauros. Rinse and repeat with new mantas he picks up along the way, boom easy Basilosauros.

Do not try to tame it eyed to get level 4 basi and it was 2% per feed it get to 70% then it started to go down by 1% every few seconds a min later it was back at 10% I repeat DO NOT TAME

I was using my dolphin to find some loot drop and I found this thing swimming so I tame it and it didn’t attack me

you can feed teming or knock taming

Anyone else think that story is dumb as all heck?!?!?

When taming be aware that the mantas around it will be passive until you start feeding it. It sprays a red mist like the pachyrhino that Argos everything nearby to attack you.
