How ARK players tame and knock out the Basilosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

HUGE TIP: Have a sinomacrops on your back when taming these. Auto scream on. The sinomacrops will SCARE OFF THE MANTAS! Time your feeds with the scream cooldown. You can probably get 2 feeds per scream after the first feed. Just make sure they’re gone or you have a raft…

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

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…

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.

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

I find one in shallow water, lagoons, rivers etc. I use my lightning wyvern to kill the mantas as the Basi takes NO shock damage. Flippers and scuba. First feed and wait 5 minutes. Also, kill everything in the area that you can. The Basi likes to wonder while you're taming it.

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…

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.

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.

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…

The info says it only takes one kibble but it actually takes 3 kibbles to tame 👆they can fix this

0 pointsReport

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…
