What is a basilosaurus used for? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The basils are the true royalty of the sea, a 150 kibble tame can kill almost anything unmatched. Get a group of 2 or 3 and the ocean is yours, breed them and they are absolutely disgusting, having high health and attack is best when bred the speed boost they get makes them killers
Important: On Ark Ultimate mobile edition (new ark mobile) these guys die instantly on deep water. No signal for low health, no 'red' screen that something goes wrong, just dying. Lost 2 of my basilos on South-east corner of the Island, near herbivore island just suddenly. Doesn't matter if you ride them or not, they die. RIP
First of all, I usually find them near a body of land. I found one in south zone 2 or south zone 3. And please only tame them the same food, I was taming one with raw fish meat, but ran out of it so I fed with cooked meat, and lost all taming progress. It's filled with mantas outside but I was lucky to only have 1 manta surrounding it, and use itchy to avoid mantas since riding aquatic animal will make you avoid dangerous creatures, even meg's which I tested.
Oh and another thing, there is this creature on The Island where when you click, it gives you tons of prime fish meat, I used it when I was taming with fish meat but then lost some taming progress. So definitely find one of those things where it gives you raw prime fish every 10 mins, it gives you 40+ btw
This big guy is so useful! Easily obtainable in The Island since you can immediately swim to herbivore island and feed it fish as soon as you get an icthy and a saddle. Looots of weight capacity, make oil just from eating, take no damage from cnidarias, (thats right, that blue jelly that killed your tame a few days ago? Easily reduced to biotoxin thanks the the help of the chonky Basilosaurus.) AND you cant be dismounted from it by wild creatures, too! I’ve made a team of them and icthys, basilos focusing on hp, and icthys focusing on melee attack. Together, they basically conquer the ark ocean.
Only downside is that it’s kinda slow, making it awkward if youre sprinting through the ocean with a fast creature like an icthy, and it easily gets stuck in rivers.
I’m a noob at ark but at around about level 30 I tamed two of these beasts!They were both low levels but 10 levels later(of me not the Dinos)they have killed just under 50 megs and mantas!I simply rode up to them on my itchy and gave the raw meat/fish meat as it wasn’t prime meat it only did around 1and 2 percent so the percentage started to drop at around 60 percent so I gave them both soothing balm,which did 20 percent each piece of meat.A must tame for al levels of players.they usually spawn in the lagoon of herbivore island and around it.They attract manta and itchys,but only itchys when tamed.They produce oil when tamed.You don’t need a saddle to make then useful.
I hoped you like this review!

'Its a oil industry,and has tons of health,when you upgrade its health it will get 137+.But watch out,its oil has a spoil time and it can't be konserved soooo.They have thermo isolation that protects you from the colds of the depts.They are the ultimate tanks.They have a crush dept,so they are like a submarine😉they have strong melee,health,stamina is pretty bad so upgrade it,also they are kinda rare sooooo up if you want them to have a submarine skin
