Ignore posts about taming bar going down, you need to tame it using only the food you give it from the start, if you change the type of food you give it, it then resets the taming bar

It takes a while to eat the second time, so don't fret

Be careful because mantas love to swarm him and they are a passive tame give them prime fish meat or normal fish meat

Tame while riding an ichthyosaurs!! You can outswim the mantas!!

Can apparently fight cnidaria without getting electrocuted

To tame this creature you need an Ichyosaurus, because nothing will attack you if you are riding it. It takes a while for it to to start the second feeding. Also, make sure you’re using the same food or the taming process will restart. A must-have to get biotoxin, because they are torpor immune. Will receive damage if you go to far down, but rapidly gains health at the surface. If playing on mobile, go to unofficial server called (Official) Pearl’s Legacy. -KingJadon08

If only it had a horn then it could be a narwhal

I saw my first Whale in the bay of Herbivore Island, I was like, hey, it’s a whale, i don’t have any proper sea tames (I had a sarco but that doesnt count) so I got raw prime and fed it that, I ran out of raw prime, Omygod omygod. I used normal raw and the taming bar DIDN’T GO DOWN! So basically I skipped the sharks and Ichthys and went strait for the Basilosaurus. IT IS AWESOME! I highly recommend a whale and they are very common around herbivore island (heck, there’s a new one in the bay now)

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

Rare Flowers affect the Basilo (slightly inconsistently) allowing you to kite it into your own water pen for a super safe, even easier tame involving much less swimming about. Seems to require you to eat at least 2 flowers to trigger the aggro effect, and it loses aggro the second the effect ends.

Bring baryonx it stubs mantas up vote so people see dis

Is not affected by Cnidaria or electrophorus shocks, this in addition to its surface healing makes it a great mount

It's best to get a baryonyx to stun and kill every manta around it

The one I came across had mantas around it...LOTS. thought I killed em all... Nope. Make extra sure you kill them, and look around a bunch before attempting anything with it

Take care... They are surounded by Mantas which block you... So you can't run away. 10 of them kill almost everything.

When Taming: DO NOT CHANGE THE FOOD YOU ARE USING TO MAKE IT GO FASTER, IT WILL DRAIN IT’S PROGRESS. Ex: Using meat then switching to prime then back to meat.

When taming the time between the first and second feed takes forever. To avoid this move well out of render and back again and it will be ready to feed 👍 Also upon your return be sure to kill everything in the area before continuing. Essentially an under water rex. great all round beast.

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!

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.

Why r u all trying to kill the predators around it? I just got an itchy, tamed it, put on its saddle, rose to the surface and watched as I killed all of the megs like it killed my family!
