What do you use to tame a basilisk in Ark?
Taming a basilisk in Ark can be a challenging and rewarding experience. These poisonous wyverns are known for their venomous bites and ability to shoot poisonous projectiles. But with the right strategy and tools, you can tame one and add it to your Ark roster. Here’s what you need to know.
Traps and Egg Taming
To tame a basilisk, you’ll need to make a trap using 100% of the required resources. This can be done by gathering the necessary materials, such as metal and fabric, and then crafting a trap using the Ark’s crafting system. Once you have your trap, you’ll need to place it in the area where you want to tame the basilisk. The basilisk will automatically detect the trap and attempt to attack it.
Next, you’ll need to get the basilisk angry by shooting it with some rocks or other projectiles. This will cause the basilisk to become aggressive and start attacking the trap. Once the basilisk is angry, you’ll need to run into and out of the trap with your Procoptodon (a large, armored dino) to lure it into the trap. Make sure to have enough space to move around while running in and out of the trap.
Egg Types
You can use three types of eggs to tame a basilisk: Fertilized Magma Egg, Wild Basilisk Egg, or Magmasaur Egg. Fertilized Magma Egg is a rare drop from Magma Wyverns, and Wild Basilisk Egg can be obtained from wild Basilisks. Magmasaur Eggs can also be used to tame a Basilisk.
Magmasaur Eggs
- Fertilized Magma Egg: Rare drop from Magma Wyverns
- Wild Basilisk Egg: Dropped by wild Basilisks
- Magmasaur Egg: Can also be used to tame a Basilisk
Procoptodon and Other Dinos
When choosing a Procoptodon to use for trapping and taming, consider one with high health and stamina. You can also use other dinos, like the Rock Drake, to help you tame a Basilisk. Rock Drake eggs can be used to tame a Basilisk.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to have enough space to move around while running in and out of the trap.
- Use a high-health and stamina Procoptodon to help you tame a Basilisk.
- Use Rock Drake eggs to help you tame a Basilisk.
- Be careful when approaching the trap as the basilisk will attack you if it senses you’re too close.
- Use a solid trap that can withstand the basilisk’s attacks.
What Dinos Can Steal Wyvern Eggs?
Some dinos, like the Pteranodon, can steal Wyvern eggs by placing a storage box outside of the trench and luring the Pteranodon to pick up the egg. This is a decent way of getting your first egg, but be aware that you will die and so will your Pteranodon in the process.
Other Methods
Other methods, such as using a Basilisk to attack another basilisk and steal its eggs, are not recommended and can be dangerous. Additionally, using a Magmasaur to attack a basilisk and steal its eggs is also not recommended.
Conclusion
Taming a basilisk in Ark requires patience, strategy, and the right tools. By following these steps and tips, you can successfully tame a basilisk and add it to your Ark roster. Remember to choose the right eggs, have a solid trap, and be careful when approaching the trap. With practice and perseverance, you’ll be able to tame a basilisk in no time!
