Am I crazy, or are basilos eating any kibble on mobile rn?

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.

I spent like, 30 minutes trying to tame this, and then the taming levels started dropping super fast. Has this happened to anyone else?

I recommend using a sarco, or a high damage icthy.

1. Gather food of choice, and a fast or high damage water mount. Scuba Gear is NEEDED.

2. Using your mount, find a Basilo, go up to it and aggro the stingrays (if their aren’t go to step three), swim not to far, turn around and kill al the stingrays(there are a lot!).

3. Once all the mantas/stingrays are gone, go up to the basilo, get off your mount, and feed it your food of choice (foods options are in taming tab).

4. Repeat feeding process until tamed

Happy Taming!

I found a max level basi at the shores of the South West tropical islands right next to my base. Roughly 80, 30. Ofcourse it had the usual mantas and a couple of Megalodons. But I was able to take them out in the air with a compound bow and sinomacrops. Afterthat, easy taming. Use exceptional Kibble for faster taming! They take a long time to get hungry the second time. After that, itll tame quickly

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

First I thought it was aggressive, so I trained it to tame it , I was wrong

This is how I tamed mine and you can prob do the same

What I used-

. Mastercraft crossbow+ stone arrows

. Full set of SCUBA gear plus extra SCUBA tank

. Extraordinary kibble (I had a bunch and it gives same effectiveness as exceptional kibble when taming basilo)

. My lvl 141 sarco with levels pumped into damage and health

How I did it

Found a high level basilo, swam up to it, and hit one of the mantas near by. Once I did all of the mantas went aggro and followed me on my sarco. Once I killed then all I swam up to basilo and fed kibble. After that I waited for it to get hungry again and while I did I killed some more mantas/megs that were swimming near by. I’m not taking any chances. Once it was hungry again i fed it until it was tamed.

Also, when using kibble, if you feed a creature any rarity of kibble that is above its preferred kibble it will have the same effectiveness. I used extraordinary kibble when taming my basilo, and basilos prefer exceptional kibble so it did the same thing. Sorry if it was confusing but I hope this helps. Happy taming!

Use a baryonix to kill the mantas

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

Fun fact I found real useful, I have my base in the herbivore island and there's LOADS of these guys around. I know a lot of ppl say it's hard to tame but reality is (at least for mobile, not sure about pc or console) that if u don't want the mantas to attack, feed the Basi off a back of an aquatic tame. According to the dossier, the mats follow the basi to eat and once a player comes near they see it as a threat. But if another water tame comes it'll ignore, and let u tame the basi. I currently have 3 and I'm only level 41 on solo, very quick to tame, I recommend normal meat over fish meat if Ur a low level just cuz they tame faster for some reason. And what's more to these beasts, I don't have a saddle but at least now I already have access to oil, cuz this guy produces it, making kibbles as easy as ever. Hope it helps and have fun taming Ur basi :)

I’m a lvl 14 noob and I’m trying to tame these guys with my dolphins and meat. Does anyone know if sharks aggro to them? Because I’m living on an island surrounded with sharks.

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

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!

just get a nice lvl sarco and kill s everybody around him. if you doing the tame with meat (like me) get ready cause its going to require a loooooooot of time.

There's always one on herbivore island

MOBILE ONLY

ride an ichthyosaurus and feed it meat prime meat or kibble and I recommend using soothing balm,the reason why I use ichthyosaurus is because in ark mobile it is ignored by every other predator,so just hop on ur icthy and feed the basilo , also DO NOT DISMOUNT WHILE FEEDING ITS FOOD you can just perfectly feed it from the itchy while the mantas are not knowing that free Willy is being tamed

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 😢

I got a spino with good hp and dmg plus a little oxygen then attracted the attention of mantas and sharks away fron the basi, then wiped em all out. Next I found something on shore for prime meat to feed it. It definitely helped that it was in a little cove area so no new predators would show up.

Kill off all megs in the area with a fast mount like a sarco, then shoot the basilo with a crossbow. Lead the mantas away (this will take a while) and either kill them or loose aggro. Head back to the whale, give it some kibble (may need 2 or 3 feeds) and now you have a bio toxin gatherer and cave runner! I was completely OK to do this with a lvl 151 sarco with a primitive saddle and a regular set of scuba. I recommend bringing lazarous, and a good crossbow.
