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!

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.

Get rid of mantas before you feed, mantas don't like you feeding it. I learned the hard way

These oily bois will be very useful in maps like genesis where most oil is from the rock well part of the ship, use these to passively gain oil. To tame simply tame a baryonx with a decent level and a saddle to ride, stun the manta’s that surround it, the stun won’t affect the basil, then just kill the manta and begin the taming process with kibble or meat! Good luck

Don't raise deep underwater it takes pressure damage even in caves

They will attract any sea life nearby so be careful when taming

Easiest tame all you need is a beezobufo and a ichthyosaurus . Feed it wait and get the ichthyosaur to attack the mantas while you are on the frog

Watch out for the mantas they are so annoying ong

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 just tamed a level 150. Took about 30 min. Tamed to level 221. Am on official, also i wasn’t prepared well. You should definitely Use its kibble, that is definitely the best way. The taming bar went up 10 each kibble, but i had only 3 exceptional kibble.

So i finished the tame with raw mutton.

I had to kill every things around it first. I used an andrewsarcus. Had it on follow and passive.

Very important : the sanguine elixir didn’t work on the basilosaurus.

I know booooooooo

The rays are very annoying I went down about 9 times as the rays attack when you feed the basilo

Timers are way off, do not suggest using them for accuracy on feeding times

Even if you don't tame it, it still gives you quite a bit of oil when harvested, as well as prime.

The best way to tame the basil get some megs and let them fight the mantas and use an itchy to tame the basil dont forget to get at least 5 megs

Basilos are very easy to tame if you have the right tools. Basilos are great underwater creatures with many efficent capabilities. LikeI said they are really easy to tame if you have the right tools. To tame you would need any meat to feed the basilo, but megalodons, mantas, and ichys follow them because of their of how they eat. So you would also need an ichys or any fast underwater creature to swim around and feed the basilo. I recommend when you feed it swim away and wait till it is hungry then go and repeat.

When tamed be careful these things loose next level health the deeper into teh water they get so having one of these by ur underwater cave base is not good

I have tamed one called Beth Smith and she kills parasaurs that go in the water, she has 6k Health, but not only does she get hit by Mantas and Icthys, (non-suprisingly) but she gets chomped on my Megs too! (suprisingly) That's funny cuz I tamed her in a Meg pod that didn't care! While taming I lost my Icthy. RIP Inez Lantus.

Grab an Ichty, get some meat or kibble, feed it, go away (not too far) and come back, it should make it starve much quicker.

It also works for other creatures. When going away from it, just make it intender and go back, if you go too far it will loose the taming bar.

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

HUGE TIP: Have a sinomacrops on your back when taming these. Auto scream on. The sinomacrops will SCARE OFF THE MANTAS! Time your feeds with the scream cooldown. You can probably get 2 feeds per scream after the first feed. Just make sure they’re gone or you have a raft close. If you have a raft close you can just fly straight out of the water by bumping into your raft and holding x. ^^^
