What ARK players use the Basilosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

These things are like superman and wolverine. They are invulnerable to tusos, jellyfish, and eels. When they get to the surface they get insane health back. They only have one weakness depth in the ocean, they get damaged.

They passively make oil for all your cooking and electrical needs!

Yo, basilosaurus are the goats. If they can't be grabbed by a tuso and stunned by electrophorus and cnidarians, the ocean' annoying wonders, it would mean it's in grabable

Can't be tamed and stored on the Underworld Center because it loses health due to water depth

Accidentally punched an ammonite? Pray that you have one of these things because these guys are tanks and dish out decent damage, sure they get damaged in the deep but the damage is abysmal.

If you live next to like a bay or a deep ish reviver then I recommend you tame two one for underwater exploration then keep the other ones stamina as low as possible and swim it around the river that way the stamina runs out and they will eat to re gain stamina then they will…

If you wanna kill those demon jellyfish then I definitely recommend the basil because it is immune to their damage.

These guys take damage on asgard vanaheimm and jotumheim its annoying like I learned the hard way lol

Managed to kill an alpha mosa with one! Wasn't max level at all, only lvl 100. They are badass, get decent health and you can survive most things! Also this is a biotoxin machine, taming has never been easier

They are beautiful creatures but have little stamina.

Do HUNT BASILO pursuit on mobile to get an ascendant compound bow which is great for beating the boss. (I think pursuits are exclusive to mobile only)

5 Tips for the Basilo

#1 They are a slow tame

#2 They give an inoculation buff when you ride them

#3 They are not a deep diving tame

#4 They are the hardest passive in mobile their manta freinds attack you when you feed the basilo

#5 They take a very long…

I have a level 2 basilo in ark mobile it use it to kill other basilo for prime and oil it’s so op I got 800 in mere minutes it’s amazing

There good at

Getting oil

Getting biotoxin

Hunting megs and mantas

And good for carrying lots of items.

I love my basi, It is one of favorites.

There good at tips.

Tame a basilo at around level 100, you are now pretty much king of the ocean, that thing can take on alpha megalodons, outdistance a mosa and kill pretty much everything else except tusos.

Trust me noobs once you get a mid-high lvl Basilosaurus you’ll never be scared of the ocean again.

I killed a mid lvl mosasaur with my lvl 220 Basilo and only took 200 damage out of my 16K health.

Today I used my level 282 basilo to kill an alpha Tuso. For those of you who have never encountered a regular Tuso, they spray ink, blinding you. Alphas are also 3 times faster. Basilos are very slow. I think you see the problem here
