The simple noob way to tame them is get any kind of meat and place it in your hot bar.Get on an icthy to do this.it worked for me and now I have 2 OP Basilosaurs.Did I mention how powerful they are?They can destroy just about anything that you find near the surface of the water.

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.

In order to tame a Basilosaurus you need a croosbow and an acuatic mount that's enough strong to deal with mantas.

When you have all of this just shoot to a manta that's near the Basil and all of them will attack you, and here you wil pick the your crature and kill all of them.

Once you slayed all the mantas go with the Basil and start taming him pacificly.

Be careful because each time you feed it nearby cratures will come at you.

Have a tribe mate and have your own ichthyosaurus and have the tribe mate have one too.

1.find a basil of you choice.

2.have ur tribe mate aggro the mantras away.

3.check your basil out and feed it.

4.keep having your friend get away the mantas.

5.keep feeding it until you have your very own (or maybe not own maybe you'll share with your tribe mate) basilosaurus

Roughly 8 min between 1st and 2nd feeding of a 140 x-basilo

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.

To take this beast, you need to be on a icthy, mantas will flee at the sight of you feeding the creature.

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)

It will start to lose tame bar for some reason and if that happens you may aswell give up :(

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.

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)

Always tame these guys riding a dolphin! They hang out with megs and mantas, and they will attack you if you’re not riding a dolphin!

These are laughingly easy on mobile with the power of Dolphin (itchyosaurus)

Dolphins are the chillest creatures in the ocean because literally nothing attacks it unprovoked, and mantas still will not care if u feed said Basil-O

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.

Produces oil in it's inventory. Destroys those annoying jellyfish.

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.

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

They are shock resistant to the els

I tamed one with an ichthy XD i just herded all the mantas, megas and others away by crossbowing em and it was left alone for an easy tame. Ez Pz.
