Tips for taming the basilisk: 1. It doesn't need to be Agro'd to eat the egg. If it has a foundation underneath it, it can't bury, and it'll start to auto agro when it's hungry enough to eat again and will start moving around on its own, then it'll find the egg. 2. You can use eggs from Magmasaurs that are tame and bred. Their eggs work just as good. 3. It won't eat anything if it's health has damage. If it's even slightly hurt, you'll need to wait until it's fully healed to get it to eat it's first egg. You can check it's health if it's not eating and see if it's damaged. Once fully restored, it'll eat. 4. It won't always eat if there are two eggs out at once. If that happens, Sometimes it glitches and needs the egg to be picked up then dropped again to eat normally. 5. If you leave render distance, there is a chance the trap will despawn and the trapped creature can escape. To stop this from happening, have some tamed creature stand somewhere in render and it'll keep the trap from releasing the creature when your character leaves render.
Toss down a light pet, put on passive. Place a single metal foundation over the light pet. Drop all your eggs on top of the foundation. Kite the basilisk over to the eggs. It will stay aggro on the pet and won't bury itself. It will eat the eggs when it's ready.
Can confirm that the trap works inversely as well. Placed mine too close to the basilisk so it aggroed while I was inside before I placed the ramps and I could feed it from inside like a shark cage. Kind of scary though.
Aberation was released December 12th, 2017. - so yeah delivering 4 ½ years to late. - The idea is to lure it into a cornor and trap it with a gate, it's 1000 times easier and less ressource consuming.
Easy tame Step 1 Place a shoulder pet Step 2 Place a metal foundation on top Step 3 Place eggs Step 4 Get basilisk to aggro the shoulder pet It will keep the basilisk around the eggs and it will tame up fast and easy. And your shoulder pet will be fine.
OMG he must have quit every other game because hes upload Ark again :P lol Please like on Steam ty :) steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427712956
Toss down a light pet, leave on passive. Cover with a single metal foundation. Drop eggs on the foundation, kite Basilisk to eggs and just sit back and watch.
Love your vids Steve. Started playing a year ago and your my go to for info about ark. My way of taming Basilisks, one metal foundation a shoulder pet and your eggs. Throw the pet on the ground ( ensure it’s on passive) place metal foundation over it and eggs all around the foundation. Turn the foundation to block. Argo basilisk and run past your foundation and mount a fast Dino and watch the show from a safe location. It will attack the pet and not be able to get to it, eat your eggs and it’s yours with out any risk after you get past the foundation that is….lol. Clear the area first. Thanks for all your help and idea’s in your vids Steve I’ve learned a lot from you man!
After trying the method alot of people were raving about (one foundation and shoulder pet). I couldnt get it to work, not only did my shinehorn that i just tamed die, rip. But after it killed it the basilisk stayed above ground and wouldnt eat the egg. So instead i tried your method and built this trap and it worked like a charm! So thank you:)
What me and friends do is tame a light pet and place a foundation over it, then put all your eggs on the foundation and lead a bassy over to it. The bassy will stay aggroed on the foundation because of the light pet and continue eating til it’s tamed :)
Another way more eassier and cheaper way is to put a really small shoulder pet in a foundation on the ground. Then get the basilisk bring it over to the foundation. Let it agro the foundation with the shoulder pet in that foundation. Make sure u place down all the eggs you need. Easy tame 🙏🏻
It's even easier if you put a lystro covered with a single foundation in front of it, you won't need any other structures. Just sit on something that won't aggro it and dismount occasionally so it'll aggro on you and eat the egg.
I've only tried this with the s+ mod but one can also try putting a single metal foundation on top of a shoulder pet so the snake will aggro on it but not kill it.
I think what you should do is you should make a contest where people try to make a trap better than you within a set time, kind of like the rock golem video. This would also help with haters saying they could make a better trap
I wish i could sub more than once, or at least, like more than once. Your videos have been imeasurably helpful! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these!
Perfect timing I was looking for one of your guide to taming a basilisk and see the notification it’s kinda weird that I get it 9 hours later but thank you just got a 150 on my small tribe’s official
you can also use just a shoulder pet (on passive) under a metal foundation (blocked), kite to foundation till snake agro to shoulder pet. throw eggs on ground (out of your inventory) next to snake and wait
All you need to tame a basilisk is a bloodstalker and a couple magmasaur eggs. Easy af. Used to live in volcano on gen 1. Would tame these guys all day
Excellent video as always nooblets, I've been out of Ark for close to a year but tempted to pick it up once again for about the..hmm..4th or 5th time, lol.
I do remember the first snake and mouse taming game... not very efficient albeit fun. This one is worthy of the Noobletsopedia under the chapter of legendary traps.
I was about to search for a trap and lucky me P.S. I would recommend using Awesome spyglass, it's faster, better UI and doesn't have to be in your hand to work, aswell as it has advanced functions that can be shown or hiden within the UI that can be simply accessed
as far as i know, you don't need trap to tame basilisk, just place foundation over your shoulder pet and then drop the egg around, kite the basi over foundation
Another easy way is to make it agh to, get at least 1 egg feed it it, let it starve, then lure it to a foundation with a shoulder pet on it. Drop all the eggs and then watch it eat them as it try’s to attack the shoulder pet (or any small dino)
Can you pls try too tame a phoenix using:A phoenix,Ember wyvern,flamethrower or the Magmasaur those would be awesome too see if it works and considering the high damage output of the magmasaur and the damage increasing effect on the ember wyvern this could be amazingly fast the phoenix and flamethrower one are kinda irrelevant but i was curious XD
To everyone saying it won't bury with foundation underneath that is incorrect, I made the trap just like the video and he buried almost instantly, now I can't get him to unbury and he won't aggro to me or anything and I can't damage or move the stone foundation.
Ahhh I thought it needs to be de-aggroed so I was close to one on a wyvern. Dropped egg down, dismounted, let it aggro, then quickly hopped back on but it didnt grab any egg. Maybe because I used a modded creature egg though that I happened to have on me when I stumbled upon a basi. Idk if it didnt work because it de-aggroed and went back into the ground or if it didnt work because the egg was a modded one.
i can't wait to tame one of these cute and beatuyfull creatures :3 i love snakes and all myths around them^^ i am finally able to play it and the first think i looked was if i could tame snakes^^ love that viedo i will try it atleast a 1000 times^^ also i heard you can breed animal/dinosaurs in the game. is the basilisk breedable? ohh pls say yes^^
I’ve always just but a light pet on the floor. put it on passive and put a fountain over it basalisk agros on it but can’t kill it. Drop eggs next to it. And there u have it lol
people.u dont need a trap. just use ur on creations. i got sick of the trap, so i hovered over it with a griffin while it was fighting another dino, then dropped the egg, it gets happy, then got close to where the egg is in between u and the balisk. When it bites at u itll eat the egg. or just stay a safe distance because when it bites the egg itll get u too. but ots nothing, u wont fall asleep
i feel like the basilisk i got is the most stuborn one in existance im giving it eggs it just wont eat them i didnt add the foundations either its not burrying it just refuses to do anything but break my armour and attack the pillars
I tried this with the trap and the basilisk loses taming % no matter what I do. I've tried holding its aggro on me but it's more interested in the pillars and it just constantly loses % faster than it gets hungry, less than 2 minutes after eating the first egg it's completely reset. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, any advice?
dont consume the egg? lol 1 time i got a leech on my face and went into a radiation zone to grab a rock drake egg and almost died and lost my dino but after all that work i got a max level egg and took it home and accidentally ate it :p
I've tried other fertilised eggs, like Crystal Wyvern, just out of interest, but nothing seemed to happen. I'm sure it's probably just Magmas and Drakes.

Thank you so much! That was extensive.
Can you also use giga eggs to tame it?
@@tgc9080 nope, only magma eggs on gen and rock drake eggs on abberation.
Good to know ty
The only dislike was part of the basilisk rights group who believe trapping snakes are wrong.
😂😂😂 PETA has tried but apparently if the animals are already extinct it's not a moral issue haha
I tell you what if these things were still alive it would eat you 😂😂
Toss down a light pet, put on passive. Place a single metal foundation over the light pet. Drop all your eggs on top of the foundation. Kite the basilisk over to the eggs. It will stay aggro on the pet and won't bury itself. It will eat the eggs when it's ready.
Why do you need a light pet, any pet or Dino that fits under the foundation should work
@@RealMoonLord correct, any pet would work

Cant u just use one stone foundation and a shoulder pet and throw the pet down and place a foundation on top then throw down eggs?
That's what I do.
@@jasont5031 lol
Or four dino gates with room for you to get in then do that
does it need to be magma eggs or will any kind (eg wyvern) do?
@@derekbuttery4776 magma or rock drake eggs..iirc, wyvern eggs don't work.
Pro tip now you can pick up basilisk and feed him with eggs (you can use rhynio to pick him up and stay in air)
The God of Ark has finally come back, the guy that literally made me into alpha.
Yesss. Who here absolutely loves nooblets
Liked before the vid even started because we know we can count on the God of Ark!
3:28 it looks like the basilisk says:henlo wher eg hoomen
are you still in 2011?
Always look forward to a Nooblets Taming videa

Steve if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have clue what to do thank you buddy for everything you do 💪👊👊
if you have low level wyvern egg, it will be more effective than magmasaur egg. also desmodus elixir help a lot

thats like the first video ive seen in my recommended from you in like forever lol and then its an ark video XD
I dont even play ark anymore but still enjoy your videos on it. Its refreshing not to hear that overly energetic fake hype on YT.
Finally another ark video
Video helped me alot tamed a 150 thank u ur a legend🙏🙏
All you need to tame a basilisk is a bloodstalker and a couple magmasaur eggs. Easy af. Used to live in volcano on gen 1. Would tame these guys all day

Samee!
I do remember the first snake and mouse taming game... not very efficient albeit fun. This one is worthy of the Noobletsopedia under the chapter of legendary traps.
Just throw out carbo, put the eggs beneath, pull aggro and take a seat on the toilett. When youre ready the basilisk is tamed
I always wanted to try to tame this mighty snake ( it was a pain in the butt though). Thank you I will try trap out definitely.
I like the way he throws the eggs over the edge, basilisk is like yummy gimme more 🤣
I was about to search for a trap and lucky me
P.S. I would recommend using Awesome spyglass, it's faster, better UI and doesn't have to be in your hand to work, aswell as it has advanced functions that can be shown or hiden within the UI that can be simply accessed

BRO HIS VIDEOS ARE GOATED I TAMED TWO OF THEM
Get a single metal foundation. Put eggs on it. Lead basi to the eggs. Derender and wait till it’s tamed in tribe log
Another easy way is to make it agh to, get at least 1 egg feed it it, let it starve, then lure it to a foundation with a shoulder pet on it. Drop all the eggs and then watch it eat them as it try’s to attack the shoulder pet (or any small dino)

My method was running around a large rock dropping eggs as needed. I prefer this trap over that, I didn't even die once.
Yes noob is back on ark finally
On point i was going to try tame 1 today video was perfect timed big thumbs up
Nooblets , again at his best.
just stumbled upon a 145 basilisk thx for the guide
I SO HAPPY HE STILL DOES ARK YAY!
That is what’s the legends do on TH-cam
Awesome video! I am going to use this trap real soon on aberration
I was literally looking for this yesterday 😂
Thank you nooblets I needed this to start my day
Really good video , thanks steve. cheers
as if the bulbdog and metal foundation wasn't easy enough
Exactly what i thought
Just tamed a high lvl one thank you
To everyone saying it won't bury with foundation underneath that is incorrect, I made the trap just like the video and he buried almost instantly, now I can't get him to unbury and he won't aggro to me or anything and I can't damage or move the stone foundation.
Thank you Steve, worked wonderfully!
I love ur videos bro they hlp forsure. Everything thx for the hlp
Thank u
I love using Basilisks, but their Achilles heel is their horrific turning radius. They are like a land-mosa as far as turning radius goes....
Is it just me, or does the intro music sound ever so slightly slowed?
Love Nooblets videos.
Could you put walls behind the ramp so it couldn’t attack you
Ahhh I thought it needs to be de-aggroed so I was close to one on a wyvern. Dropped egg down, dismounted, let it aggro, then quickly hopped back on but it didnt grab any egg. Maybe because I used a modded creature egg though that I happened to have on me when I stumbled upon a basi.
Idk if it didnt work because it de-aggroed and went back into the ground or if it didnt work because the egg was a modded one.

Just used this on Lost island 1/07/2022 THANKS!
Nooblets I really love your videos but what is that thing flying along side ya?
Does this trap work on an alpha basilisk or do you need to make it bigger/wider?
this guy explained it so perfectly👍
Nice simple effective and cheap trap mate. The best kind!
Great video as always. One question, any news on Valheim coming to the consoles?
i feel like the basilisk i got is the most stuborn one in existance im giving it eggs it just wont eat them i didnt add the foundations either its not burrying it just refuses to do anything but break my armour and attack the pillars

I always go to Crystal isles, hover over them with a griffin or tape, even a pt and drop the eggs from the air, they eat them on their own lol
What eggs ? Bc i can feed it any eggs?
@@BOBSTER-ti4og probably the wyvern eggs they have there
dont consume the egg? lol 1 time i got a leech on my face and went into a radiation zone to grab a rock drake egg and almost died and lost my dino but after all that work i got a max level egg and took it home and accidentally ate it :p
I would like to tame one on crystal isles but as we all know unfortunately there are no more rock drakes on that map
does The basilisk only tame off of rock drake and magmasaur eggs? like could Spino eggs work?
Thank you bro we love ya
Was this a boosted server I just want to know if I need more eggs
Yo this is really good! Thankyou so much!
Thanks man for all the usefull videos that you have made!!
Keep it up!
Id say the light pet and foundation is easier and faster but still a affective trap nice video
Can it eat any other kind of egg that isn't magmasaur or rock drake? Like crystal or normal wyvern eggs?
Not according to what I've found but I've never tried to tame one. I might have to give it a try now.
I've tried other fertilised eggs, like Crystal Wyvern, just out of interest, but nothing seemed to happen. I'm sure it's probably just Magmas and Drakes.
The checking the taming with your spyglass is a mod right or they add it onto official?
Just put a foundation above a shoulder pet, have the Basilisk aggro on the "foundation" and watch it eat the eggs...
