Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
Tame with raw prime fish meat NOT just fish meat! This will just make the tame percentage creep down when you want it to go up. ( at least on mobile)
Ignore the comments saying you need anything. Tame these naked on Genesis with raw meat quick and easily. Theres 0-1 mantas and after they aggro on you after the first feed kite them away and they will reset far enough away that you can easily continue your tame with boosted swimming and oxygen. Refill stam in bubbles or surface close by. Buy your meat from HLNA for a near free top tier tame. (Swim up and down to dodge the mantas as you kite)
I’m taking a level 10 one at herbivore island with just a level 12 bary and a level 30 Diplo with levels only in oxegen and the tame is going well
As soon as you feed one of these the first time all the surrounding mantas will swarm you! Bring a baryonyx to wipe them out before they do it to you!
Bring a water Dino with high health and melee
So the flaws of breeding baby Vasilis
They need meat constantly and for some reason they loose stamina for no reason.
After fully grown it will slowly start to fill up and then you can start your new powerful basilo journey
On Mobile the ichties and mantras will swim away after the first feeding but the ichties will come back after a few minutes but the mantas will go forever and will be very far away
Cannot be Tamed with raw or cooked Meat!! Taming Effectiveness will Hit 0 before it hits 100%!!!
This is great for players who want a lot of fish meat,just hop onto a ichty and go near this thing and feed it kibble(20-100 depending on level) it will take some time through so be patient,once tamed equip it with saddle and boom!!!,no megalodon or dunklectous will survive because your new pet menaces them all!!!,it can take on 100 megalodons and stay intact but watch out for stamina !!
READ THIS ark is lying about feed it cooked fish meat use ready let cooked meat
When taming this NEVER USE A MEG they have TRASH stamina an itchy or a sarco would do good
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 mobile btw)
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 quick. When taming it’s a passive tame. If your taming don’t think it’s a bug coz it won’t let you feed him again after first one he’s just tasting
Mine keeps losin it's taming bar
Basilosaurus has a taming glitch for me. I've been on Ragnarok and whenever I feed them (exceptional kibble or anything else) they eat it & I see them taming but they don't hungry again. I can punch them & they will get hungry but then their taming undos to zero. I'm trying on crystal isles & again thing, it has been going on for about six months when I can't tame them. Anyone else have the problem or suggestion ? I'M using dododex for feeding intervals & other taming info.
This is more of a question then a tip: how do you foretame not-violent in mobile?
For breeding must prepare raw meat around full weight of it's inventory cause it's food bar is very high and baby basilo eats so lot so lots of meat prepare in advance (mobile version offline)
Like ^ everyone to spread this useful information
Grab an Icthy and raw meat, go to herbivore island, find one off the coast, and you’re basically done. You can outspeed the mantas easily, and clear out the megalodons in the area as well.
