Just tame a million megladons bring them have them agro on what ever nasty is guarding it and then happy taming also raw meat works fine on these guys so long as it's a low level
Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.

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.
Get a Shadowmane or a very strong fast water creature and kill everything around. If close enough the Mantas will join the fight and leave the Basi. Once finished with killing everything enjoy a nice quiet passive tame..
Water MONKE usefull for oil...monke
This creature create ripple on the water surface above them. Maybe you can use this to find them
Just find one near the shore. Get a crossbow or something and shoot the mantas on the shore. Then just feed it. Their a passive tame.
Take a rifle and snipe the mantas...Problem solved
On genisis there are no mantas guarding them so it’s a free water mount basically
If your on genesis, it’s easiest to do some wave ray missions to get some focal chilli and then go swimming to look for your basilosaurus. Once you have found it, you can begin the passive tame due to the speed buff. Make sure your inventory isn’t full and that you make…
If your on genesis, it’s easiest to do some wave ray missions to get some focal chilli and then go swimming to look for your basilosaurus. Once you have found it, you can begin the passive tame due to the speed buff. Make sure your inventory isn’t full and that you make sure there aren’t too many mantas around because you’ll have to slaughter a couple.
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…

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…

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
Mine keeps losin it's taming bar
