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.

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

Super easy, super useful!

Please remember they are passive tame. I just forgot and almost got killed

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

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…

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…

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

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

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…

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

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

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…

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…

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 😊
