Takes ages to feed after the first time but after that it is nearly instant worth taming as they have high weight and good damage bit they are usually followed by 20 mantas so taming can be difficult

Use sarco or Rhyniognatha for taming they can swim fast and have goog DPS and hp for meg and scuba suit for the fast swimming that how I got my basilo

Dodex fix your stuff takes like 5 mins for hungry again

Kill all the mantas with a baryonix and feed it meat when its hungry. Easy but op underwater tame. Hope i helped someone

Get an ichy and aggro mantas. Then lead them far away. Then return to basi quicky fees it and run off wait 5 mins then return to feed again. People keep saying ichys do not get aggro by other creatures but that is so not true so becareful and watch your surroundings.

To tame the basilosaurus it's a passive tame so kill every thing around it and start feeding it

Discovered this by accident, but a Sinomacrops will scream at and scare away all the mantas that surround the Basi. Not required, but the easiest way I found was to set my Sino to have "auto scream" enabled and "scream requires aggro" disabled. When you get semi close it'll scream which will make all, or most of the Mantas flee for long enough to feed the Basi. Hope this helps and happy whaling!!

The Basilosaurus is really easy to tame. It is a passive tame, so all you have to do is stay away from hostile creatures jellyfish, manta, etc. Then you feed it your meat, I chose raw meat, and you feed it until it is tamed. It get really hungry really easy, so it doesn't take long. If I tamed this still with a stone pic and axe, anyone can.

If only it had a horn then it could be a narwhal

If you are raising a baby keep in mind that their food drops faster than they can eat, so you have to force feed them until their food bar is full or else they will eventually starve to death even with food in their inventory. If you are on singleplayer you can also leave and rejoin your game to make the basilo instantly eat the food in its inventory until the food bar is full or there is no more food in its inventory.

I would take a barryonyx to tame basilosaurus mainly because of the rays.

Rare Flowers affect the Basilo (slightly inconsistently) allowing you to kite it into your own water pen for a super safe, even easier tame involving much less swimming about. Seems to require you to eat at least 2 flowers to trigger the aggro effect, and it loses aggro the second the effect ends.

Never ever get too close when taming on mobile, you’ll get bugged inside of it and drown.

I got lucky and was able to find one of these things without mantas near it in the shallows of Herbivire Island...thank goodness, do not use fish meat!!

For the peeps that asked,

Mantas like the basilos cuz it says in the dossier that they make a mess when eating so mantas are kinda like scavengers that eat the left overs

After the first feed, it will take a long time to want to be fed again. Don’t worry. Just follow it around and keep it safe. After a while, it will want to be fed again and it will progress according to the time intervals on the app.

So I found this guy at a island where herbivores spawned I had some prime meat I feed it and I tamed it once it is tamed everything attacks it

Bring baryonx it stubs mantas

I tamed mine with a baryonyx to kill the manta bodyguards. The time between the first and second feeding interval takes a while, so sit back and grab some coffee while you wait. Regular meat will do as after the second feeding, the interval is only about 10 seconds. Make sure you keep all Megalodons and other mantas away from it while taming. I absolutely love mine for alpha killing and bio toxin farming. Also they get a crap ton of hit points per level up, almost 400.

It's best to get a baryonyx to stun and kill every manta around it
