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
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!!!!! 🎀
Best place to find max lvls is Genesis in the ocean biome. PS. Have a rock drake in your pocket for easy escape.
Just so mobile players know, it is very hard to find a high level from my past experiences 😔 So if you happen to find a decently high level, I recommend either remembering the area or just tame it as soon as possible because the high level ones are so rare. The highest level I have found is a level 60 and I have played on this particular server for over a year now 😬
They are super easy to tame if you have a sarco, all you have to do is lead the rays away from it and then feed it and every time things come back to attack you just lead them away, then go back and quickly feed it. Rinse and repeat.
