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.

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…

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.

Warning: the basilosaurus takes almost as long to tame as a diplodocus. I recommend not wearing a scuba tank until the second feed or you'll go through like 5 tanks. Remember to kill every other animal in the area or they'll attack you and if the basilo gets hit you…

Not So Fun Fact: after tame EVERYTHING will attack. I have a max level male and I just tamed anothet max to breed right? I let the newly tamed female stay where it is while I go grab the saddle I forgot. On my way back I get a death message from the basilo and my eyes start…

Bring a couple of baryonyxes(?) and shoot one manta. They all come after you. Run away from the basilosaurus, and when far enough turn and have the baryonyx gobble them up. Got a level 100 with four kibbles.

just tamed one about level 15 or something with around 20 cooked prime meat, you can find a few around the little island in the south-east corner of the map. they'll usually have a few ichthy and mantas following them, the mantas will all attack you when you feed it, and…

Kill all the mantras by hitting one remotely near to it and they'll go after you then be like a manta and stick to its side to tame it

If you have a partner and a lightning wyvern you can hover above the surface and kill the manta squad with a few lightning blasts and then begin taming.

Take out the manta squad before feeding it because any sever without instant tame, every manta in the squad will target you.

If you have a friend playing, get him on a megaladon and agro the mantas away

Usually sorrounder by a bunch of unholy demons of the deep. If you have a bed set up nearby and decent oxygen levels you can just approach, feed then try to get as far away as possible before you get killed,then when you return the bodyguards have usually forgotten their job…

Punch mantas 1 by one and lead them to shore them kill them with a sword on edge tried it out and worked successfully mutton tamed a basilo 130 :))

Having at least a water critter would be your best bet when taming this. A sarco is a great suggestion, as it kills manta and can swim very fast.

WARNING: A lot of aggressive things get distracted by these things. But if you kill all the dangerous things it's easy to tame even with just normal meat

If you want to tame one, but cant wait until you have scuba gear, i would recommend a diplocaulus and a megalodon/baryonix for the mantas. This makes taming much easier
