Pro Tip: Basi’s won’t spawn with a whole gang of mantas on Gen 1 map, making it much easier to tame. You also have increased oxygen and swim speed in Gen 1’s Ocean Biome so you won’t need scuba gear and you can outswim Megalodons easily.
Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.
How ARK players tame and knock out the Basilosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
The feeding intervals are more like 10 minutes
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.
why does itches and mantas like basilos ?

Basilosaurus
Pros:
- Passive oil mine
- Immune to electric shocks (electrophorus/eel, jellyfish)
- Immune to tuso/squid hug
Cons:
- Long taming process due to the first feed in which you have to wait for its hunger bar to drop 10% to feed again
- Loses health in deep waters
- Slow turning
How to tame:
Get a good water tame (prefferably sarcosuchus or baryonyx) and get the manta's attention WITHOUT HITTING THE BASILOSAURUS, afterwards, kill all the mantas and then begin feeding the Basilosaurus, it is important to note that the time between first and second feed is long (abt 6 minutes), try to stay near your basilosaurus and kill any mantas/megs that come near it. That's it from me, bye.
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
I tamed a level 80 with RAW MEAT . Where is my medal No soothing balm
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)
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
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
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.
The guy who said "First make sure the area is clear" bro I spent 5 hours waiting for the area to clear.
Just get a meg or a high level icthy and lure the mantas surrounding it to someplace more open and kill them. If you kill the first lot following the basilo…
The guy who said "First make sure the area is clear" bro I spent 5 hours waiting for the area to clear.
Just get a meg or a high level icthy and lure the mantas surrounding it to someplace more open and kill them. If you kill the first lot following the basilo, another lot won't spawn and the basilo will be perfectly alone.
Keep in mind if any creature attacks the basilo, the taming will reset.
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
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.
Killing Low level Basilos are a great way of Obtaining Raw prime meat. Unlike other creatures, Basilosaurus ONLY DROPS Raw prime meat.
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.
