What is a basilosaurus used for? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I was travelling in the water when I saw a basilosaurus I only saw two in my solo server but it was usually surrounded by fish animals the first I saw was surrounded by itchys about four or five the next I saw it surrounded by mantas and one carbonemy hit it and every manta charged at the carbonemy I suggest if you want one go look for one that’s surrounded by something you can kill it’s very risky tho so I suggest taking a sarco or a fish T. rex (I forget what it’s called) to help you
B4 I got him I had 4 dolphins and we destroyed the sea, until I tamed this dude mega always want to kill this guy(he can take 5 megs on his own easy) so 2 of my itchy died trying to fight the megs rip to them also when u tame him he will level up like crazy due to all the megs he will kill ONLY LEVEL UP HIS HP his HP will go up like 235 every time u level up HP u will also get slot of iron axes and picks due to the killing of sharks u also get free oil from the basilo I guess it's for fuel but he is a tank I recommend getting two u don't need two but u should just do u can burn everything in your watery path they like regular meat from land animals instead of fish meat
Absolutely useless on mobile there are no caves and tusos are rare I mean really rare there is no reason to tame one I found a lvl 300 used a soothing balm and after realized they are trash absolute garbage other people might say different but with out caves what's the point.
THESE THINGS SUCK
- Extremely slow
- Takes pressure damage (doesn't even pay bills)
- Annoying taming progression that's not worth if it's low level
- Surrounded by mantas when taming
Before you say that it's imune to tuso grabs or can't get stung by jellyfish it's probably just better to tame a plesi or something instead.
