I was trying to tame one. I just used a icthyiosaurus (however it is spelt) it took a couple of trips to the surface but it worked.

I recommend taming a dolphin then tame the basilo on the dolphin

The basilosaurus on genisis part 1 usually don’t have mantas following them , and if they do it’s usually 1 or 3. Making them much safer to tame on genisis 1

I saw my first Whale in the bay of Herbivore Island, I was like, hey, it’s a whale, i don’t have any proper sea tames (I had a sarco but that doesnt count) so I got raw prime and fed it that, I ran out of raw prime, Omygod omygod. I used normal raw and the taming bar DIDN’T GO DOWN! So basically I skipped the sharks and Ichthys and went strait for the Basilosaurus. IT IS AWESOME! I highly recommend a whale and they are very common around herbivore island (heck, there’s a new one in the bay now)

Use a spino and bug repellent and this tame is easy as hell if you have a bat you can find them easily at night as well then go back in the day

Taming this is a must imo, had it been able to swim in the deep without taking damage, it woulda been OP!

Ok so use a Ichthyosaurus because mantas megs and basically everything ignores you so people dont die to the manta cult it has

First time I tryed it was killed by megs on the way home second time I had 5 itchys and we made it next to my home but then megs killed all my itchys and the baslio (should have brought my megs too but I did not)

RIP pointy, fast, buddy , new dude, and ,hater (the itchy crew)

When it comes to taming this guy, I personally like to hop on a high level spino. The spino easily deals with anything surrounding the basil, and then go ahead and start feeding it. I use kibble, it's a pretty fast tame, but the time between the first and second feeding feels like forever.

For those who lost the basilo from those pesky sharks just cryo pod it (pc and console only feature) or get out of render distance and teleport it to your base (mobile only feature)

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.

To tame, Soothing balm, Theriz kibble, tame in no time. Be careful when breeding babies. The babies are greedy like a giga. You need to keep feeding until 10% then keep 2 troughs fully stocked with raw meat and fish.

Level 240 took two Theri kibble with a 10x balm. About 10 minutes wait time after first bite.

Super easy, super useful!

basiliosaurus personality:a passive aquatic cucumber dino it’s easily a carnivore and surrounded by mantas (most of my encounters) taming: i recommend a itchy since that’s the safest way I recommend using raw meat or raw prime meat since it’s better then fish meat. Tamed and domesticated:basiliosaurus will be your personal guard in the water he will be a giga chad killing megs I tried that it’s amazing easy fish meat. That’s all you need to know!

To tame have a mount in the water that can kill the Manta surrounding this creature. Once you agro the Mantas quickly get to your mount and have it kill the mob. Then swim close and start the tame.

Be warned after you kill all the Mantas that are surrounding the basilo. There is a high chance that another manta will come wandering, and will attack you. I know this because I killed all the Mantas was taming the basilo and my megalodon all of a sudden after I got hit from something attacked and killed the baslio. Angry and sadness.

Clear all hostile dinos like mantas and megalodons then follow it around on a water Dino and feed it with your hotbar

Easy first tame on Genesis. Do the wave ray mission a few times to get some armour a weapon and hexagons. Once you have them all get some meat and passive tame a high level one. Low levels are great if you are just going to use it to get oil. High levels are good for farming Bio toxin or fights in general as they have lots of health, and you can't get knocked off of them. They don't take damage from electric attacks like from eels and jellies.

Easy way to tame get ichy then find one then megs and mantas don’t argo(only mobile players)then tame. Enjoy 😊

They are shock resistant to the els
