Kayin Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hey guys, so im planning for an upcoming basilisk tame and dododex is telling me 10 eggs for a 150. Another app is telling me 41 eggs for a 150. these are not small counts. That’s incredibly heavy and a lot of value to be running around with while being chased by a giant dragon snake from hell. are these accurate? I’d like to be better prepared. This tame clearly is going to take some planning and I’d like to not arbitrarily waste rock drake eggs or not have enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin304 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Build a 3x3 stone foundation with 3 high stone door frame walls and a ramp on one side of it near the basilisk you want to tame(good luck finding a 150, normal basilisks are super rare and mostly low level) and kite the basilisk up the ramp into the pen and you can easily tame them, be careful though they can still bite you through the doorways. Your tame just became muuuuuch easier. Also, use dododex for taming calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasiliskBreedingPls Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Do you play on official? and dododex is the right calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaculity Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The other app is probably out of date, or has no idea how to get accurate details. I suggest looking at dododex and calculate the number of eggs you need to tame the basilisk, you monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayin Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I play unofficial with official settings. So yea, looks like dododex is right. up to 10 rock drake eggs. Good God. I don't know if I like that a giant snake should be the hardest tame to get on the map, simply due to it's food. So far for me this is the order in which I get tames: Ravager/starter -> Krab -> Spino/Meg -> Reaper -> Drake -> Basilisk (soon, after I drag that trench a few more times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, unlike Titanoboa, if you move it close enough, it will try to eat it before proceeding on to attack you (letting it bury could potentially lose Taming effectiveness, if thats what you are aiming for.)

Kayin Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Success! 9 Rock Drake eggs to tame a 140. The thing came out at 188, so fairly crap effectiveness. The thing is a pretty glitchy tame. It wouldn't always eat the egg, it would freeze for some reason and i'd have to drop 2 nearby for it to pick one and reset. I did build a trap as @Austin304 described. The Basilisk did actually escape it though. 3x3 and 3 high doorframes. One time it lost aggro, left the trap somehow, and burrowed. Fortunately I hadn't started taming it. Once I had started it did not escape. I kept its aggro on me. I'm a little disappointed in their damage output, but man those things can haul some weight. 3k starting weight. Thanks everyone for suggestions. -K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a beast to bring if you need something to store at ground within reachable distance, but is a pain to navigate sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really a pan to tame. The trap is my preferred method, but one could put a zipline and climb on the zipline with a rav just out of melee range of the basi to tame them but the trap is my favorite. And yeah the weight is insane! Ive got almost 10k weight on my main basilisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasham86 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 In order to get great Taming Efficiency. You have to keep the basilisk aggro'd onto you. DO NOT let it burrow. When it burrows. You lose TE. Just have to keep it aggro'd. It will eat 1 egg every 4 minutes. So if it is a 150. Get ready to sit around for 40ish minutes.

Dasham86 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 What I have found works best for me for taming them. Place a single foundation. Then pillars up from the foundation about 10-15 high. Then place a ceiling on top of those pillars. Then ladders down. And if you can get the basilisk right up against the pillars.... It will shoot the poison and not hit you. And will sit there aggro'd on you and just eat the eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
