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.

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.

Mutton taming isn’t quite accurate. Was waiting for about 8 minutes between first and second feed, but once that was out of the way it did seem like 8 seconds between feeding. Also watch out for Manta’s after killing the original pack, as they can attract to the basi if it…

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

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

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

If there is one with a lot of mantas around it you can use a baryonx get the mantas attention and bring them away to stun them then you can use it or something else (we used a lvl20 megalodon) to kill them all then just trail and feed the basilo until it is tamed

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…

Hi guys! Today I’m gonna teach u how to tame a fat dolphin. It has a strange way to tame because it’ll have little flat baked bread around it.( A.K.A manta) with that out of the way, let’s get started!😆

First step: KILL THE MANTAS!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR FRIEND…

You need to tame these kids on the island especially, these are like the BEST for killing cnidaria, and they are pretty easy to tame if you do it right.

Step 1: craft a raft and go float over the basil

Step 2: watch the basil and when it surfaces (or goes near enough for…

Tame a Baryonyx to deal with the manta or bring a crossbow. They are easy to pick off and then you can feed it. Extremely fun animals and their right click makes them jump and spray water, forming a rainbow!!!

The thing with these archaeocetes is that they do not spawn at shallow waters yet not very deep either. And to make things worse, they can attract harems of hostile manta rays and ichthyosaurs to "feed on its leftovers" as mentioned in the dossier

Overall, make…

On Lost Island you can find these creatures between 40.20 to 60.30. I used and prefer that you use mutton which is close in the area.

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.

You can find beached ones, mainly on Ragnarok. You can harvest then for rotten meat to get narcotics. With a pickaxe you will harvei more meat but with a hatchet you will harvest more hide. Remember Good luck! And have fun survivor

Can't find a single one. I've seen all kinds of creatures but them. I think the only thing I haven't seen is alphas and tuso and these guys,

Loads of these live around herbivore island and so do titanosaurs which often drown so if you go to Herby island if your lucky you simply wait until the titanosaur drowns itself collect as much prime meat as possible and go take the basi!
