Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
Can you passive tame while riding itchy? Because those rays gonna make me hit the basilo
It’s worth noting that Sinomacrops’ ability to scare creatures APPLIES TO MANTAS. If you go near a Basilosaur, and punch/aggro a manta, your Sinomacrops can scream and scare off the Mantas, and they usually won’t come back in my experience so far
I tamed up a megladon sarco and Barry they went with them found a basi shoot at the mantas they agro kill them all start taming and then you have 3 creatures to protect you easy easy tame !
Do not tame basil with raw or cooked fish meat
If ure are planning to imprint this guy, from my experience get 3 of ur dinos filled with meat the babies eat A LOT It ate 1 stack in 30 to 40 seconds
These guys can be dangerous sometimes make sure to be careful when taming!
Useless if under lvl 100 no weight health or melee if 115 or above u can get more bang for ur buck. I use mine for cave run on multi maps it’s a must have tame for the water you won’t want anything else just remember their slow but if you can get their speed up to 115 to 125 your good to go. If I had to sum up my experience up in a couple word it would be the king of the sea!
If you are on mobile you can get a itchy(dolphin) and the mantas won't aggro on you, you can feed it from the itchy at least that is my experience saddle unlocks at level 60
All you need to tame it is a itchy and some raw fish meat
I found good method. Attack it,lure it to the river, place 2 behemoth gates on each side, and tame. Easy
Use kibble and use baryonyx Also focal chilly
Step1-make focal chilly
Step2-get you basilosaurus near land
Step3-feed it and swim to land so manta cannot kill you
Step4- get baryonyx in water and do spin attack and kill the mantas and tame the basilosaurus
Step 5 eat focal chilly and tame it
Step 6- put saddle on it
Step 7-take it for a ride
Lure away the Manta and kill them. From there, you should be able to start taming it, the only worries now is the surrounding, make sure to watch out for nearby predators.
Basilos are great for harvesting Biotoxin, getting a high level Basilo should be able to kill most of sea creatures.
I don’t know if it’s a glitch but the one I tried to tame lost all the taming percentage when it touched the outside barrier so I can’t seem to tame them. I don’t know.
crossbow the mantas, to lure them away. swim and kill with land dino(i used wyvern lawwl).
Baryonyx. Scuba gear. i don’t give a dam
Why does the taming bar run out when it reaches 69%?
It's really pissing me off
Bring soothing balm from the south cave and it only took 8 fish meat for a lvl 15
I tamed two and i will tell you a story how
So i was riding my ichthyosaurus i saw a basilosaurus i swam up to it it said feed raw meat to tame so i took the meat out of my ichthyosaurus and i fed it while riding the ichthyosaurus and tamed the male basilosaurus then i saw another went to see its gender it was a female so i tamed it the same way
ALWAYS BRING ICHTHYOSAURUS’S!
When you get to like 50% tamed on this dude it the bar starts going down when you use raw fish meat I couldn’t tame this guy so... i killed it😔
To tame ride on a ichy and feed it prime meat and normal meat (don’t feed it fish meat). They can be found in the shallows of herbivore island
