Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a basilosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a basilosaurus.
The info says it only takes one kibble but it actually takes 3 kibbles to tame 👆they can fix this
The taming interval is actually correct. For some reason ark is buggy so you have to exit render distance like with carcharos. I tested this myself.
Ima lvl 47 and tamed one with my itchy named pyrite this things a beast I got attacked by a group of megs bc I dismounted and he savages them like they were paper
I reccomend using a fast mount or a sarco or else you will be killed by the paparazzi near it
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
When taming the time between the first and second feed takes forever. To avoid this move well out of render and back again and it will be ready to feed 👍 Also upon your return be sure to kill everything in the area before continuing. Essentially an under water rex. great all round beast.
This was my 2nd water (as in ocean since I have 8 kapros) tame ever I have 2 of these for me it was easy to tame I grabbed my dolphin and went looking once I found one a swam close and fed it raw meat the mantas did absolutely nothing I ended up with2 of these.
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)
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.
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.
Couldn't use the Sangine Elixir at any point during taming, not sure if its because of being underwater prevents you from using the elixir or just the creature.
They Commonly Spawn Near The Shores Of Herbivore Island And Can Rarley Spawn In Hebivore Islands Cove They Are A Passive Tame And Prime Meat Is A Fairly Good Feeding Source Make Shaur To Kill Of Any Megalodons In The Area And Finish Of All The Manta Rays Following It Before Approaching
Ez tame, passive tame, don’t be scared of it
Instructions:
1. Get your itchy so Megalodons, and eels and or jellyfish don’t get you
2.Get a therizenosaurus kibble
3. Find
4. Once found just swim beside it and put the kibble and a whole pile of meat
5. Successive. Grab the saddle and enjoy a badass time and eat everything
Ps don’t go in deep water or it will take oxygen dmg
How to tame yourself a basilosaurus :
1- You can find a basilosaurus near the beaches.
2- They're surrounded by mantas that act as their guards, in order to be able to tame it you must kill his guards using a decent sea creature (Barynox,Sarco,Megladon).
3- Once you kill the mantas, get close to it and feed it raw prime meat (Its a passive tame).
4- Beware! dont ever hit the basilo otherwise the taming will restart i also advice having your tame on passive so it doesn't accidentally hit the basilo, changing the food type will also restart it too.
5- The basilo starves every 10 to 4 seconds so it won't take that long just keep protecting yourself from any impending hordes of sea creatures.
6- Once tamed you can get into sea caves without having to worry about getting dismounted by a Jellyfish or the electric fish anymore so you can start killing jellyfishes for biotoxin, also they produce oil, its the best tame to go to sea caves with!
Get rid of mantas before you feed, mantas don't like you feeding it. I learned the hard way
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
First I thought it was aggressive, so I trained it to tame it , I was wrong
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.
Must tame, it was hard for me to tame but it was a fluke, I lured all the mantas away and started to passive tame it but then megaladons ambushed me and me and my ichtyosaurous (dolphin) died, I respawned, grabbed my sarco got back and then killed the megaladons and tamed it, after I tamed it it has already killed 5-8 megaladons and 10-17 mantas on my way back home! I’m making a saddle right now, and if you want more reasons to tame I have more, it can’t kill a mosasaur if it is good lvl, it can kill many packs of megs, mantas and anything else in the ocean, AND it is immune to the tusos grab, and immune to bothe the jellyfish and electric eel stings, easy tame if you are careful, yet so powerful. I’m still sad about my dolphin 😔, 1 🆙 = one rip for the dolphin I didn’t even have time to name 😢
