    Tip: anything you can trap, TRAP. You want to protect it while it’s taming as well as making it so much easier to ko it.
    Any fast dinos like troodons use ramp traps so you run up the ramp and jump down into the trap they will follow you up the ramp and fall into your trap 🔥🤙

    The equus is extremely hard to tame because they run around for so long, you can't look around (locked camera) and they get stuck on things (meaning carnivores can easily attack them and if you jump off to protect the equus the taming effectiveness will drop, continue dropping and then the horse will be spooked and therefore is untameable and unprotectable for a further 2-4 minutes.)

    The Basilisk is quite easy to tame, it’s getting the drake eggs that’s hard. Just build a 3x3 stone structure, 3 high door frames all around, ramps or stairs on one end. Drag the snake into the trap, then run around dropping the eggs. It’ll tame up super easily.

    The Tusoteuthis is easy(bit hard to find though), just ride a megalodon near it, and have 100 black pearls in the last slot in your hotbar, and once it grabs your tame, swim up to it and just feed it, if it doesn't tame straight away, then I recommend taming a few low level megs, with saddles, but strong enough to at least survive for about 10 seconds, that's your best chance, but once you fed it, just swim back to another meg and hop on, don't risk you getting grabbed, I can't imagine it's very fun..
    Edit: if you want an easy source of black pearls, go for trilobites, if your on a map where there really far away, I recommend just searching it up for anything else, I know on Ragnarok there are Eurypterid, but you don't want to let them touch you because if they hit you twice, your knocked out, that's it, so you need a cross bow, if you spawn in the place it recommends, spawn in, and face the ocean, then to the right, that's the way you want to go, there are some boxes down the beach that if you break open with and axe, you can get a crossbow, pike, spears, swords, arrows, stuff like that, also the water the Eurypterids are in, there's a ship wreck, that has a chance to spawn a treasure chest that you can open at level 80, it really can be worth your while, also you might want to kill everything else before going for the Eurypterids, there will be a massive skeleton on the beach, the the detection where the head is facing, and there will be a water fall, theres a nice cave there, it's a great space if your on a single player sever, I recommend using cliff platforms in there to.
    I hope this helps someone ^^

    I have an easy way to tame a basilisk. I'm currently on the lost island but it can work other places as well. First build a metal water platform put metal ceiling for the floor and large metal walls. Two high is enough. Get a hover skiff and go locate a basilisk. While you're doing that get some magmasaur eggs from the cave. Use the hover skiff to pick up the basilisk. Drop it in the tape you built. 2 or 3 eggs later depending on your taming rate and it's yours. Hardest part is trying to locate the basilisk.

Sure if you want to buy a mediocre giga egg that some says is good you can do that or you can build permanent giga traps to tame max level gigas so you can breed a giga with high stats across the board. I have gigas without mutations that are born with 225 melee, 409.5 stamina, and 18k health all of which are high stats because I hunted for gigas with naturally high health, stam, and nelee. You can get a "good" giga egg but they are most likely mediocre compared to an egg from someone that properly breeds gigas by introducing new stats to increase the base level and base stats before breeding for mutations

    for the phoenix, every time the heatwave ends, he turns into an ashpile so you can just follow him until he becomes ash and build a trap (ark wiki) and put oil jars everywhere and light him on fire

      Austin Beck it still doesn’t make sense because there are over 50 other carnivores so at least 40 other Dinos will be harder to tame.

    The hardest part about taming a basilisk is getting the eggs, since both rock drake eggs and magmasaur eggs only appear in nests that are heavily guarded. After that, you just need to spend some time running it around the eggs and its tamed. I would definitely put it as one of the easier tames, as long as you can get the eggs.

    In my experience the giga is the hardest. Took me and my buddy around 7 crossbows each and about 600 tranqs to knock him out. Too awhile to trap him too.

    Moschops tames are a lottery nowadays. On gen 2 they can be tamed like 2-3 request , sometimes they just need tinto and mejoberries, sometimes more delicate things. We always check them out, and take it if its a cheap tame, and leave it if its more complicated
