Not to hard to tame, they like to stay near the surface and they usually spawn more in the northern part of the island. Prime meat is the best to use, and remember it’s a passive tame and it won’t aggrieved unless you it but watch for mantas which will follow the basilo and attack you when you feed it, after the first feed it takes a couple minutes to feed again but after the second one, it only takes around 10 seconds for each feed.

To anyone, all the nasty in the ocean will aggro on you regardless of whatever water mount your on in the PC version, so that must be a mobile only thing.

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

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

Idk how no one has said this yet. If you want to tame one in mobile just use an ichyosaurus. No one attacks you and they are incredibly fast. The perfect underwater tame. Also useful for any other underwater thing cos even if u attack something it doesn’t attack back. Except moss for some reason. Anyway up for free underwater tames

After first feed on a 150 with kibble it won’t be hungry for almost 5 mins.

I recommend erheir raw prime, or raw prime fish meat.

I tamed mine with raw prime fish meat only, no soothing balm. I actually was pretty lucky, because a basilo spawned next to a leed, and a leed spawns next to a basilo. So I took all the leed's raw prime fish meat, and put it in my Bary. I fed it constantly, aware of oxygen.

Finally, I tamed it and named it Silo. Saddles are suprisingly unexpensive. These also spawn by Herbivore Island. Along with leeds. So I you see a basilo, look for a leed if you a trying to find one. Everytime I see a basilo, I see a leed. Be careful! When you feed it the mantas attack. Recommened mount, baryonx. Baryonx will stun the mantas, and you will be able to feed the basilo while on baryonx too. They come in variants of dark blue, or a pink, magenta color. They have a good bit of health, and do not aggro on you when you get close to it. Have fun with your basilo, if you read this. Goodbye -TinaZ

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!

Take care... They are surounded by Mantas which block you... So you can't run away. 10 of them kill almost everything.

On Ragnarok you can find a ton of these inbetween the two little islands in the bottom left corner. If your bad like me and have taming speed on 3x if you find one under level 69 it will instantly tame with exceptional kibble. You will die but your bassilo will kill the mantas then you have a bassilo

Basliosaurus has manta rays and megs sometimes around it, bring a spino it will easily kill them all and bring raw prime fish meat or normal

Tame while riding an ichthyosaurs!! You can outswim the mantas!!

For Fjordur players:

DON'T USE SANGUINE ELIXIR!!!

It does not work underwater, tame it with 6 kibbles

I play in mobile if u ride a icthyosaur while taming it the manta's won't attack u

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!

I just tamed a male I named him Riptide and he was killed by 7 megs and 3 mantas 5 seconds later rip riptide

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

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 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.

When Taming: DO NOT CHANGE THE FOOD YOU ARE USING TO MAKE IT GO FASTER, IT WILL DRAIN IT’S PROGRESS. Ex: Using meat then switching to prime then back to meat.
