Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
why does itches and mantas like basilos ?
Taming this guys are easy, all you need in an Ichthyosaurs 2 stacks of Raw Meat and a Will to go to ocean bottom. Set your Ichthyosaurs in passive , swim to one and make sure you are on the left side of the basilo so that when you jump off the basilo is in feeding range.
Feed it and jump back on the Ichthyo lure the mantas and the baddies away from basilo. After the drop agro go back and feed again. Always remember to get off the Ichthyosaur right beside the basilo so you can feed it and jump back on it and run to safety. Be cautious of your surroundings especially Tuso and don't forget to keep eye on oxygen all the time underwater
Just get some prime meat and kill the mantas first. You can usually find them in shallow water making the tame even safer.
Good for farming Bio Toxin.
They are immune to Cnidaria
You can find basilosaur spawning in the circular water bay just behind blue ob on the center in ASA. We just tamed a 145 that finished with 461% mele.
The dinos spawn frequently at a higher level on the center.
I tamed a level 80 with RAW MEAT . Where is my medal No soothing balm
The second feed on Xbox is gonna take while but then is whatever ur interval is but second feed takes the longest and the last bceause of anxiousness
Don't be scared when encountering and taming it, its pretty chill and will be easy to tame if u kill every manta or shark around it.
Killing Low level Basilos are a great way of Obtaining Raw prime meat. Unlike other creatures, Basilosaurus ONLY DROPS Raw prime meat.
I reccomend using a fast mount or a sarco or else you will be killed by the paparazzi near it
use an itchy to find one, nothing really attacks itchys so yeah. Raw prime fish meat is the best option for meat to use (in Mobile atleast)
Do think of a solid strategy of killing mantas and maybe eels before attempting to tame it. I lost 6 sharks 1 spino 3 dolphins trying to tame it.... Not at the same time tho. If I had gathered all the battle forces it could have worked
Mobile passive taming for this guy is easy,
1. Get a Ichthyosaur
2. Hit the basilosaurus once and guards will flee
3. Hunt megalodon and get their prime meat via pickaxe
4. Passive tame basilosaurus
These guys are very good defense and I found mine around herbivore island.
Here’s a tip! Take a Baryonyx out and stun all of the creatures around it! Try not to hit the Bassey, all the others will follow you and you can easily stun and kill them all! Have kibble or preferred taming method in you last item slot! Put you Barry on follow and just feed ‘em! 😌👍🏻 HAPPY TAMING!!
Very easy to trap and tame on Crystal Isles.
There's a river on the west end of the redwoods that's considered ocean so they'll spawn in it. Just gate off each end to trap the basil, kill whatever's in the water, and you don't even need a water tame.
If you are like me, a noob who is scared of literally every dino in ARK, then you can find these guys stuck against rocks in the ocean in the shallower waters, there might be Megs near by so be careful, just feed it raw meat you will have a new pet whale that sings.
Keep in mind that the second time the Dino eats it takes about 5 mins to eat again but after then will be a lot quicker
Just tamed a Bali named it basil and she faught off like 8 megoladon
Good job basil. 1 up for more megoladons being killed with a Bali
Easiest way I know to tame them is using a baryonyx after first feeding use the stun attack of the bary to stun and eat the manta''s then you should be good just pray no more manta's arrive they've cost me a near perfect tame on one twice.
The basilosaurus is the king of the ocean. Nothing can stop a perfect tamed 150. Really good to farm black pearls off alpha mosas n squids.
