If your going to tame these and your on mobile here’s a few things :)

Go to herbivore island, they spawn there.

You need to tame a ichthy.

If your on a ichthy no mantas will attack you when your around baslios many mantas are to.

I suggest you bring a decent weapon to protect you. Like a sword or some sort of gun just in case,

Very simple tame but only issue is once the Baslio is tamed the whole damn ocean comes after it so get out of there with your baslio quick otherwise you and the baslio will be murdered and after taming one you might wanna build shelter for your sea creatures if you haven’t lol

I have some tips on this guy.

They are good tames, underwater tanks, high inventory space, making you cool in warm places and warm in cold ones, and they produce spoilable oil (if you want oil just kill a wild low level to get lots of oil).

Taming this things is easy, tame a Ichthyosaurus, make a saddle, hop on, go to deep seas (near the herb island is the best), kill a low level one to get raw prime meat, then put it in your tame inventory to make them immune to spoiling for a bit more time.

Find a High level one and tame it, they took their time getting hungry the first time but from the 2 one they get hungry pretty quick.

This guys are very cool, they make a very calming sound, but they have a BIG problem, this things get attacked by any wild thing in water with no reason.

I once got inside of my underwater cave with my Ichthyosaurus and I heard the fight sound track, I came out and saw 10 mantas, 5 megalodones, and 5 electrophorus killing my basilosaurus :(

I lost my 590 oils, 5k hide and 5k fibre and my journeyman’s compound bow :(

R.I.P my level 50 basilosaurus 🪦

Use normal meat to tame, tame dolphin, and get OP Dino

They are surrounded by mantas so be careful

Took me 30 minutes to tame one on a 15x server, feels great

Really great creature

Soft skin

cute

Immune to jellies

too fast healing on surface

Okay damage

Passive tame but hard to tame one

Oil produces in inventory

Too good in pvp because of fast healing

Fast

Keeps cool in warm and warm in cold

Thats probably best tame for hunting.

who the HELL said bug repellant works. I DIED THRICE ATTEMPTING TO TAME THIS THINKING THE REPELLANT'S GONNA REPELL THE MANTAS. but yea im getting my baryonixes n killing them now idc

Speed is key. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom all about. When in doubt, put on da tek suit.

My favorite thing to do is get one or two tribe mates get on our manas and get the mamas around it to chace them then start feeding it

I recommend you bring a sword or pike to help with the mantas, if that doesn't work bring a shark.

Shoot one of the mantas from far away to kite them and kill them all. From there, all you need to do is kill the occasional megalodon and you should be golden. Baryonyx highly recommended for this.

Kill the Manta Rays or they will kill you

People often tame these for fun or for free oil. Little do they know killing a wild one gives 400+ oil

Use a Baryonyx to remove the manta around the Basilo and profit, really easy to obtain and useful tame

1. Have a sea creature with you and try to attack the manta around it and be careful not to hurt it.

2. Feed raw fish. (It is a passive tame not a knockout tame)

3. It will be awhile to tame but have a good time with your basilo!

How to tame: Basilosaurus. You will need: Icthy with saddle, a nearby leed and a basilo to tame. Step 1: get on your icthy and scrape meat off the leed until you get prime fish meat. Step 2: find your basilo and put the meat in your hot bar. Step 3: feed meat to the basilo, don't worry, the mantas won't aggro on your icthy. TIP: The interval from 1st to 2nd feed take awhile, but after that it goes pretty quick, so after that interval, be on your guard. Step 4: Keep feeding until it's tamed. TIP: Before you start to passive tame it, bite it once, the mantas will swim away, then start to passive tame, you can still passive tame. Or you can bite it during 1st to 2nd interval. Step 5: there is your very own basilo! lead it back to yoir base and name it.

Best to tame the x version of those in Genesis. They usually swim alone there, without mantas and another staff. But beware - if you disconnect in Genesis ocean you die - and have to look for your body and Dino. My megalodon is still swimming somewhere out there...

Btw don’t use a megalodon the manta will beat it up

After tamed this man he got killed by a 40 mates a 4 megs and 1 leed

When I was taming one of these i noticed it was a female... once I tamed it and requested it... I FINALLY NOTICED IT WAS PINK!!!!! 🎀
