What are tips for basilosaurus? Tips and strategies for basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I find them in the waters between the Herbivore island and the lava cave peninsula
This is one of those tames that is flawless this is why:oil generator, immunity to being shocked by jellies or electric eels,squid grabs,very powerful healing when near surface and it's only weakness is the deep but it's worth it
I found a basilo quite near south zone it only had 2 low-level mantas and it tames fast I'm trying to get GPS to find the coordinates of where it is I'm gonna try to tame it after I get better weapons and a scuba diving set
It doesn't get stung by jellyfish!! Go get you some biotoxin young lad!!
If you want to kill the mantas around it get a tanky Barry and swim around them, lead them away from the basilosaurus and stun them.
The guy who said "First make sure the area is clear" bro I spent 5 hours waiting for the area to clear.
Just get a meg or a high level icthy and lure the mantas surrounding it to someplace more open and kill them. If you kill the first lot following the basilo, another lot won't spawn and the basilo will be perfectly alone.
Keep in mind if any creature attacks the basilo, the taming will reset.
This is by far one of the best water tames, has insane health regen and if you boost melee you can easily solo kill mosa and tuso alphas, good for jellyfish because cant be stunned. And keeps you warm underwater!
They are everywhere on the Center map
Watch for mantas
The easiest way to tame this whale is to bring a Baryonyx with ya to deal with the manta's and sharks and to wear scuba gear. Once the sharks and manta are dead just passive tame the whale with either prime meat or Theriz Kibble.
So, it turns out that killing a Basilo gives tons of Oil. This thought occured to me while I decided to be a jerk on my own Basilo. So go out there on your Ocean Mount and kill so many of your basilo’s cousins and rake in so much oil you’d get America Jealous
When you find one of these when you hit them with whatever any water creature nearby will attack you
5 Tips for the Basilo
#1 They are a slow tame
#2 They give an inoculation buff when you ride them
#3 They are not a deep diving tame
#4 They are the hardest passive in mobile their manta freinds attack you when you feed the basilo
#5 They take a very long time to tame there is no doubt in my mind use their preferred kibble
Thanks for reading. I'm Lilly and I do 1 tip per week
So I was feeding it with the mantas still alive, that ended up with a couple of inactive specimen implants. When I finally got it, The mantas ended up killing the damned basilo. So, don't keep the manta's alive.
