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.

If you have a ichthy it’s so easy to passive tame it ( Bali ) just get about a few raw fish meat and boom you have tamed one ( Don’t forget to watch your oxygen )

I dont know if my game was buggy or not but, the tame was at 99% and I feed it. Instead of being tamed it dropped to 96% and so on, untell it was at 0%. The main part of this is to just be ready at any moment to lose your tame i guess, I know gow bad it feels now.

My Favourite and Easiest way to get a Basilosauros:

Get icthy. Pump health and speed. Get prime meat or kibble or whatever you have (preferably kibble, prime meat or mutton) and put it in last slot. Feed to Basilosauros, hop onto icthy really quick, then bait all the mantas…

I was using my dolphin to find some loot drop and I found this thing swimming so I tame it and it didn’t attack me

If you tame this stupid guy, the mantas would destroy you (because that happened to me 5 minutes ago I was wearing ascendant swim armor and I got killed in 3 seconds)

The easiest, but most time consuming, way to get a basilo is to tame all the mantas first before you tame the basilo. First, you go to the deeper parts where the anglerfish spawn, and you kill them and harvest their angler gel w/ your megalodon or other powerful sea mount. Once…

Go up to it don't mind the mantas

Next give raw meat it's a faster way

Then you have your own basilosaurus

OMG BE CAREFUL! THESE THINGS HAVE MANTA BODYGUARDS AND THEY'RE SUPER ANNOYING. Tip on finding these guys? Ya know the rocky island in the southern islets? I found one there once.

When taming be aware that the mantas around it will be passive until you start feeding it. It sprays a red mist like the pachyrhino that Argos everything nearby to attack you.
