2. A weapon. I used a mix of a raft and an ascended bow. But a strong weapon that fires underwater is strongly recommended.
3. A clear coast. Make sure no hostile creatures are nearby.
Taming the basilosaurus: The first feed takes the longest, then after that it'll eat whenever. Keep a fast water tame by your side at all times.
Once tamed, it will offer these buffs:
1. Oil. It generates oil in its inventory.
2. Insulation. It'll keep you warm.
3. A new water tame.
🔺️ if this helped and is accurate!

When taming this, be careful, Mantas and sharks follows a basilosaurus around and will attack you if you approach or feed the basilosaurus. According to the Basilosaurus dossier, Mantas usually follow them because of their eating habits (Well very messy) and it leaves plenty of leftovers for them. They attack you when you feed a basilosaurus because it leaves no leftovers for them.
I believe the dossier, but yeah.
In crystal isles, these guys spawn in the tropical beach area in the southwest of map, it’s not common, but they can.
Good for farming bio toxin, as it can attack Cnidaria without being stunned or knocking off the rider. Takes damage when it goes too deep, though surfacing rapidly heals it.
Even if you don’t have the saddle Engram for it you can use it as a way to get free oil 😱😱😱😱. Like so low level ppl can see
Tame:
1. Grab an Ichthyosaurus.
2. Put Meat desired by Basilosaurus in your Hot Bar.
3. Ride Ichthyosaurus.
4. Put Basilosaurus-desired Meat Type in Basilosaurus's mouth.

7. Once Basilosaurus is in a safe spot, Basilosaurus can kill predators.
8. PROTECT ICHTHYOSAURUS FROM CARNAGE!!! I MADE THAT MISTAKE AND REGRETTED IT.

Basilosaurus are surrounded by mantas and they will attack you when you feed or attack the Basilosaurus, there are plesiosaurs,megalodons,leedsicthis and tusothuthis where the Basilosaurus are,

Ride dolphin or manta, water creature won't attack you while riding a water dino, then go near basilo feed it, Don't unride or you'll see your self dying, put food on your hot bar then click it when near basilo u can feed basilo without unriding. Up! So no noobs…

Up! So no noobs will be eaten by manta or megalodon lol
A great beginner tame, once you have an icthyosaurus, you can swim up to it and passive tame it. I just tamed one, and less than 5 minutes after I tamed a level 4, it’s killed 2 megalodons and 4 mantas. Like so noobs and beach bobs can see.
Good fighter, immune to jellies, supernatural healing boost at the surface, produces oil in its inventory, impervious to squid grabs, looks kinda cute too, only one bad thing about it: it gets squashed in the deep! Only slowly but the damage is there!
Can kill squid like their kin in real life. Tame a 150 and you can take on alphas like they are regular ones. Just up health and memes. They recover steam so quick boosting it is pointless. An all around amazing creature, 10/10.
NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TAMING!
Okay, so I saw one in a river opening on Crystal Isles. I thought the mantas attack you as soon as you go near. So I slowly approached the tail near the river bank. The mantas didn’t agro on me, I thought I was just far enough away. No. Oh no no…

The mantas didn’t agro on me, I thought I was just far enough away. No. Oh no no no noooo. It turns out the mantas ATTACK the second you feed it. Please don’t do what I did haha
P.S I lost my otter to the mantas. R.I.P
This creature is so easy to tame. All you need is:
1. An Ichthyosaurus(these guy won't be attack by any water creature, except the jellyfish)

3. Find one of these creature

2. Anykind of meat(I suggest using prime meat and don't use fish meat)
3. Find one of these creature
4. Feed it prime meat(It's a long time between the 1st and the 2nd feed, after the 2nd feed it's fast)
And then you get one of these, just be careful of the megalodons, they will attack right after it is tamed. I hope this is useful for you<3
Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.
Watch out for its manta cult.
Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.
Generally surrounded by what appears to be some sort of coral fern. Coral fern is in fact a swarm of feral majestic sea flap-flaps. Swarm is protective of their oily host.
Reasons to tame a basilo:
1. Water tanks. They can take damage and dish it back out. I killed a moss with mine.
2. Fast health regeneration near surface. Fight any surface predator and barely lose any health
3. Makes oil.
4. Keeps you warm in cold places and cool in warm…

If you don’t have a basilo, tame a basilo.

King of the sea. A tuso or mosa will do more damage but you can not be knocked off a basil making them essential for underwater caves which are full of jellies, Eels and even tuso's. They are also the perfect size to navigate through them without getting stuck or having to dismount. If you have a Baryonyx they are very easy tames, just use the AoE spin attack to kill all the Manta's and you can passively tame it at your leisure. Combine their oil with organic poly and water in a cooker to make soap which doesn't expire and can be ground back into oil and organic poly when you need it.
