Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
While taming the Basilosaurus you need to have a underwater dino to make it easier to swim back up and get air and the Basilosaurus is a slow taming process so do be patient.
i LOVE them. they are super nice tames. they are basically big itchys on steroids. and are just as fast. love em love em love em!
It's best to get a baryonyx to stun and kill every manta around it
I found that you can use sarcos or itchys to tame these creatures just hit one of the rays and lure them away then after the very long first to second feeding after that it takes like 15 seconds to feed again
Is not affected by Cnidaria or electrophorus shocks, this in addition to its surface healing makes it a great mount
I just tamed a male I named him Riptide and he was killed by 7 megs and 3 mantas 5 seconds later rip riptide
Two things I found to make these incredibly easy to tame:
1. Baryonyx - this guy will destroy the mantas and anything else that will threaten your taming
2. Scuba gear for ease of life underwater for the next 10 mins
Job done!
I play in mobile if u ride a icthyosaur while taming it the manta's won't attack u
After first feed on a 150 with kibble it won’t be hungry for almost 5 mins.
The one I came across had mantas around it...LOTS. thought I killed em all... Nope. Make extra sure you kill them, and look around a bunch before attempting anything with it
Once you're able to passively feed the basil, I repeat DON'T LEAVE IT ALONE!
The first feeding is at least a 5 min wait, but once you get to the other feedings you'll have to constantly feed it every 8 seconds or else you’ll lose taming progress.
Hi guys! Today I’m gonna teach u how to tame a fat dolphin. It has a strange way to tame because it’ll have little flat baked bread around it.( A.K.A manta) with that out of the way, let’s get started!😆
First step: KILL THE MANTAS!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR FRIEND ALIVE!!!!( just kill them) if u punch da dolphin then the mantas attack u but then u won’t hurt future friend! 🐬
Second step: bring scuba 🤿 gear. They take forever to eat. So before you feed it, u might want to enclose it in some gates.(I recommend stone is da best)
Third step: he is your friendly neighbor aquatic and will require a saddle. Other than that, he’s yours!!!
Quick note to remember: if u want this guy faster on mobile only, I recommend using smoothing or bathing balm on it which can be accessed by tribute to obelisk from a artifact.( except bathing balm, u need to pay for that with amber.)
I don’t know why, but nothing in the sea agrros on the dolphin. So it’s best slowly killing the mantas and then feed the basil
Take care... They are surounded by Mantas which block you... So you can't run away. 10 of them kill almost everything.
Dododex has its stats all wrong the amount of food or kibble is correct but the time is way off.
If you feed a basilo its first feed.
It will take roughly 2-3 mins untill 2nd feed the time is different if it's an evo weekend 3x it takes 29 seconds inbetween each kibble feed
Tame while riding an ichthyosaurs!! You can outswim the mantas!!
The feeding intervals are more like 10 minutes
Be warned after you kill all the Mantas that are surrounding the basilo. There is a high chance that another manta will come wandering, and will attack you. I know this because I killed all the Mantas was taming the basilo and my megalodon all of a sudden after I got hit from something attacked and killed the baslio. Angry and sadness.
Tame a baryonyx and move close to a basilo with mantas around it. Don't attack but let them aggro on you move away from basilo and tail stun/attack mantas till they are gone. Feed prime meat or mutton and wait forever for second feeding. Once it is hungry again it is only a few seconds between the remaining feedings but it can be 15 minutes between 1st and 2nd.
Use a bary to get rid of the mantas, just shoot one with a crossbow from a distance to aggro them all and you can just stun them and kill them, easiest way to get rid of the mantas, got one tamed without scuba gear
