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.

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

First use a Baryonyx to stun all the mantas and itchys, then just kill them

You can use a Baryonyx to easily dispose of the Mantas with the stun attack. After that, this is a very easy tame.

I highly recommend the Basilosaurus - great for collecting bio toxin, very tanky and recovers health very fast when near the surface.

Easy tame just kill the mantas and you're good very powerful Dino for there size too, and ideal in caves

Stay close and keep feeding the basilosaurus. Straying to far can reset the taming meter. If the taming meter resets your taming effectiveness leaves off where you left off. If this happens your best to kill it and try with a new basilosaurus.

This tame is best to do with multiple people, or about 3-4 water Dinos. Every time you feed it,you'll aggro all mantas and sharks in the area.raw prime spoils super fast so tribe mates will need to make extra runs for it.

If you are using therizino kibble and don’t really care about effectiveness you can feed it prime meat (not prime fish meat) and it’s second feed ussally takes abou 5 times longer so if you feed it prime then therizino kibble it’ll be a lot quicker trust me I tryed it (on…

If you feed them raw meat you will be able to tame it will not start dropping if it does start using prime fish meat and normal prime also the most dangerouse thing for a basalosaurus that you will likely encounter is a plesiosaur

Make sure to bring more kibble to tame this guy.

I get scammed from dododex

Just tamed one and taking back to my base, haven’t made saddle yet, but he’s already awesome. ( I mean she. ) She took about a year just to take one damn nibble of my raw meat ( don’t feed it it fish meat unless prime fish meat) but after the first bite she ate pretty…

Keep in my mind the first feeding interval after the intial one, can take up too 15 minutes from my wxperiwnce before the basilo is ready too eat again. I have a rented server and this is on 20x taming!

Found one near S3 E1, I killed the mantas ( it was right at the surface) and I tamed it, I lived at South 1 so I headed back (I had an Itchy) and I got close to my home then it got mauled by Megaladons, about 15-ish of them, I was very sad that I just tamed him then 2 minutes…

I experimented with taming a level 5 of this guy on an Icthy. Just thinking on experimenting with the taming effectiveness of raw meat and raw fish meat. Fed it on my Icthy (not dismounted) with raw fish meat first. It got if I remember correctly 6 mantas with it. The mantas…

Before you can passive tame it, you'll need to kill off all of the mantas that swarm around it. A low level Plesiosaur can easily get the mantas' attention and clear them out without much hassle.

Took a lonv time to eat the second, but after that it started eating really fast.

Why r u all trying to kill the predators around it? I just got an itchy, tamed it, put on its saddle, rose to the surface and watched as I killed all of the megs like it killed my family!

When I tried to tame this beautiful basilo, I was taming it with cooked meat. I got to 95% on taming, but then the tame bar started to rapidly decrease. When your taming a basilo remember, use theriz kibble... (don’t do what I did...)

Have Fun <3
