Utility Tips
What is a basilosaurus used for? basilosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
In ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED MOBILE, these guys can also make oily ink like the tusoteuthis(I am not sure with the other arks though). Refinable too already. Need not taming a tusoteuthis anymore ‘cause this guy does that work. Got one named Dolphy and he produces oily ink every few minutes. Max stack is probably only 29.
Honestly one of the best mounts. It takes on swarms of megaladon as if they were dodos and it doesn’t get stunned by jellyfish or eel. With it you can also farm oil from others basically making it the best underwater mammal. Also it’s cute, so an added bonus! I’ve named mine Marshmallow and on it the sea isn’t very scary.
A little fact: If you have a basil and you are in the ocean and got dismounted from your mount (like an ichy) and you have a tamed basil with you , make him follow you and swim directly to the surface.The basil will follow you and push you up wards (if it doesn't, just make it swim close to the surface and just swim/climb onto its back) your welcome! :)
5 Tips for Basilos
#1 These are hard to tame and are a hardy tame
#2 They give a insulation buff when you ride on them
#3 They are a passive tame
#4 The reason they are hard to tame is that the have paparazzi group of mantas and dolphins and when you attack and or feed them the mantas get
#5 They passively make oil that you can find it in their inventory
This is a must have tame! Why? Well lemme tell you!
1:they are a really easy tame since there passive tamed so an easy noob tame
2:they are able to withstand a eel or jelly zap so you don’t get knocked of your mount(unlike the lucky noobs…RIP)
3:they are a passive oil generator so you get free oil from them,the max they can hold in there inventory is 20 but they produce quickly
4:they have enormous attack damage so you could easily kill a meg(I have a lvl 23-4 or some thing and it kills things in seconds)
5:they have short but good bursts of speed that can get you to the surface in a couple of secs
6:they have an ok saddle?(it’s unlocked at lvl 60 and requires smithy to make)but it lets you ride your helpful tame so…🤷🏻♀️
7:they are chonky so they are pretty cute and come in very colorful colors(lol)
8:they’re health can go very high(like I said before mine is lvl 23 or something and it’s health is over thirteen thousand health so it can take a lot of damage)
9:they are able to keep you from getting to cold or hot(pretty helpful when your in the Arctic region or deep see diving)
10:they need lots of fish meat to be able to get around(they big chungus(I named mine BC))
