Do not tame under the flying island ok the center,it is to deep and it will eventualy die

If you aren't too lazy to breed them you aren't too lazy to get the best option for any underwater cave. They will take a very slight amount of crush damage in some caves but that's nothing to a basilosaurus with 20k health

Must tame!! These are amazing! Just in a one day trip into the ocean I gathered 820 bio toxins, 443 silica pearls, 1000+ raw fish meat, and 41 oil. I encountered alpha Megalodon too and took it down like nothing with the basilosaurus! It's now level 35 and its health is…

These things have an insulation ability so when riding one you won’t be cold in deep water, however when in deep water they will start to lose health so be careful

Very good midgame water tame for before you can get plesios, mosas, tusos,etc, lots of health, good damage.

Wild ones are easy to kill, give a lot of prime and oil

Uh I just found something quite OP about a basilosaurus. It has 2400 base health, while the mosasaur has 3600 base health. However, a Basilo gains 480 health per point (wild) while mosasaurs only gain 432, meaning that, at higher levels, a basilosaurus will usually have more…

I don’t know if other people have experienced this but in ark mobile (or maybe other ark variants) but if you use potent dust on Basilosaurus it knocks them out for some odd reason.

They’re very useful water tames. Even though taming them is a slight pain (second feed takes forever, but after second feed it eats more often) they’re worth it. They are immune to the jellyfish, they cant get grabbed by tusos, and they provide insulation to the rider.
