Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
Just feed it long nail Dino kibble and do it 2 times otherwise you will rage
Thank god these are a pasive tame but if it was gonna be a knockout tame than pls get rid of mantas
Bring a Sino along with you when taming a Basilo. They scare away the Mantas, which allows you to pick them off one by one.
Tips from an expert:These can be found in the pond that Herbivore Island has. Simply kill all of the predators in the area (mantas,megs,etc)
and all annoyances. Taming one of these is quite similar to taming an ichthyosaurus;however it is much more tedious. Be patient if you want a basilo.
So easy to tame because there was a leet right next to me the whole time and I could just hop on and off of my itchy to grab prime meat and tame the basil
I was in crystal isles, and I found three of these guys, this is how I tanned them:
1. I had a Barry, and killed all the mantas with the spin attack
2. I used the meat from the mantas to feed the Basilo (these guys get hungry quick, so it won’t take too long)
3. Enjoy your knew Basilo! Hope this was helpful.
Be warned after you kill all the Mantas that are surrounding the basilo. There is a high chance that another manta will come wandering, and will attack you. I know this because I killed all the Mantas was taming the basilo and my megalodon all of a sudden after I got hit from something attacked and killed the baslio. Angry and sadness.
The best place to tame is gen 1 ocean biome they are EVERYWHERE!!!
Guys it's a passive tame you can feed it ridding a dolphin I forgot that name of dino oops 🥲
But most importantly when i reached 80 percent it started to decrease 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Some one help
Ride an itchy if u want to tame it. Manta or megalodon won't hurt the icthy cause they so cute.
On mobile, the first food you give it takes longer. I have no idea why.
Get some Lazarus chowder (helps with oxygen), then stay for some time to get it nice and tamed (if low level). High-levels have SCUBA tanks to help.
He feeds quite quickly, if you find it's taking longer than usual. Move away for a minute as he may be spooked.
He took my mutton every 10 seconds
The info says it only takes one kibble but it actually takes 3 kibbles to tame 👆they can fix this
If you’re having trouble with swarms of mantas whilst trying to tame this epic beast, I recommend checking the cove at herbi island. They sometimes spawn there and there’s much less creatures to deal with
So I was doing hunt basilo Pursuit when I found it I abandon the pursuit then I killed the Megalodon took its meat swim up to the basilo (do not hit the basilo) and fed it the meat (I recommend using soothing blam first)
On The Island map, if you wait until one comes up to hang out in that little shallow area in herbivore island, it will be much easier to tame as long as you have a dolphin or manta. You won’t have to wait long because they commonly like to hang out in that shallow area.
Ride a good level sarco make sure you have your food of choice I recommend exceptional kibble or raw prime meat surprisingly they don't prefer fish also it's a passive tame they will always be surrounded by mantas which will agro if you brush past them or the basilo hurt the basilo or mantas and start taming so taming first brush past the basilo to separate mantas from the basilo kill the mantas once you done that approach the basilo and feed it then wait till it's hungry I think it's food has to go down 200 before next feed rinse and repeat and have ridding your new basilo tamed facts the basilo cannot be stunned by jelly fish or eels also it keeps the rider warm underwater cons the basilo has a crush depth that drains it's health slowly the depth is barrier entering the mosa plesy area they pretty much everywhere
It easy to tame and it’s vary tanky and powerful
You can find them at the bottom right island
