What is a basilosaurus used for? basilosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A very amazing creature for the water if you have a high level one stated with health and melee it can kill almost everything the only thing I would watch out for is high level alpha mosa otherwise they can be electrocuted by anything, electroflorus, and jellyfish no more, also tuso's can't grab them.
Tamed a super low level (54) but i killed a level 145 mosa and only got down to 2756hp (max is 5760.2) and right after literally gkt to the surface and killed a level 70 dunkle on my way back tk my base i farmed jellyfish and ended up with 262 bio toxin and 294 oil from killing another basilo
My favorite aquatic creature like the rex of the sea with the weight of a argy or low level quetz
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.
