Feeder timer for kibble was about 70 seconds not 51 like mentioned at the time of this posting

Use a baryonyx to carefully agro the mantas and then your good, I used cooked prime meat to tame mine and once you feed them swim out of tender distance and you’ll be able to feed them again literally like 10 seconds, if you hang around it’ll take longer to eat because it’s scared.

kill everything around it before feeding

Ignore the feeding intervals, took me 30 minutes to tame a lvl 80 with mutton... worth it tho 😂

Kill Everything around it. Your best bet is a Baryonyx. Ichthys will be as good as dead, Megalodons might get shred by Mantas as well. To get the aggro of Mantas, just attack one that is away from the Basilosaurus and the others will come to retaliate.

If you plan to use Raw Prime Meat or Raw Mutton, don't dare thinking that you can keep it all in your inventory before spoiling. Drop every piece of meat into your (well-feed) mount and pick one at a time, dismounting, feeding, mounting and repeating.

Bringing salts won't be harmful either, specialy when it comes to Raw Prime Meat. Raw Mutton will last more than enough without salts, but again, as long as it stays on a tamed creature.

Found a lvl 140 by Stonehenge. Used my Baryoynx w/

320 ish melee and that was perfect for killing the mantas and sharks. I used 26 theri kibble and the tame went flawless. Tamed out at 207 and has a nice red color to it. Named it Tamoto Basil. Bring extra oxygen tanks just in case.

Use a megalodon or bigger to tame since they always have a crack team of sea pancakes following it. If using a megalodon watch out for other sharks since they have the aggro range of a god. I usually find them around herbi island

*scuba tank just 1

*shark

*ovis

*chainsaw

On single ex took about 16mins for a 140 fed 1 or 2 pieces of mutton then 5-7mins later started 8sec intervals put mutton in the shark with preserving salt started with 17mins on mutton ended with 1:46mins on mutton keep preserving salt on you and the shark at all times goodluck

I always find them around herb island .. best way to tame I found is one guy on an ichty following and feeding it and another guy on a baryonyx or other quick strong water tame to fight off any threats that may interrupt taming

These guys are totally overpowered I got a 150 mutton tamed and killed a alpha mosa with it and still had half life xD mine got 30k health and 450mele he could kill everything solo when jou got low health swim up and they Regen pretty fast

I was taming one and the taming bar went down by .1 every second for no reason!

Ive experienced, on xbox one, that the intervals for fresh/raw meet is 13 secs instead of 8, might be helpful

Suggested that using a decent sarco carrying a certain amount of mutton and a pack of preservatives which is not difficult to assemble.The sarco is strong and fast enough in the ocean while encountering a group of mantas or the sharks around the basilo.Also taking care of being trapped by mantas' strategic ring of encirclement.

Takes about eight minutes to eat again after the first feed

(Ps4) Use a tamed dolphin and press triangle around the front flippers and you will dismount and feed the basil at the same time. Make sure you have food in last slot of course. The dolphin can get you to the surface quick to get air.

First time I saw it I was happy but that ran quick when I saw that it was surrounded by 50 stingrays. How luck can change

Killing a basilo gives almost 300+ regular oil...sweet

Easily the best thing about the basilosaurus is that it is immune to the squid grab. Despite the pressure dmg it takes at those depths it is the best way to go after them.

Definitely not 51s intervals between kibble peeps...

When riding basilo u ll c ur protection against warm and cold rising up
