Stay on your drake place 4 dinosaur gates. Make a square trap. Drop the eggs in thr middle. Then jump off your drake to agro. Watch it eat. I've tamed 20+ basilisk this way. Simple.
I believe that griffins in mythology always laid eggs for some reason. It was a big plot point in a few stories, where the main character would steal a griffon egg and use it as a magic ingredient. Love the videos!
I guess the idea is that they act more like birds, and thus they act like birds in regards to breeding. But there’s also the fact the back half, the half that would give birth/lay eggs, is the mammal half in Ark. So there’s logic on both sides, but if the legends say they laid eggs then that’s a important point to say they should lay eggs in Ark
Another Awesome Video! Did you know you can tame a basilisk with just a shoulder pet and a stone Foundation? just throw down the pet and put the foundation over it, then drop all the eggs on top of the foundation and the basilisk will agro the pet and eat the eggs
1:00 I'm pretty sure the last time you tamed one was in Ultimate Ark: Aberration. I remember because you were confused why you brought it to Genesis until you remembered they don't have an oxygen stat.
I've had a lot of success with a light pet placed under 2 foundations with eggs pre-dropped. Kite snek to the eggs and move away. It stays aggroed on the pet, but cant hurt it.
Not sure if anyone remembers or it’s been said already, but back in ASE there was a way to tame a basilisk where you would get negatively taming effectiveness and it would give a monster boost to the stats. Add that onto one with a high melee and it was insane. I rode one into an Overseer fight and the thing had like 6k melee damage, on official servers, which was just insane. Needless to say it wasn’t much of a fight at all, but I did manage to hit one of the drones with the gas ball and unfortunately for me the drone was right above me so I pretty much just killed myself. Good times on the old ASE servers.
Actually, Royal griffins in ark mobile breed and they lay eggs. But each griffin has a name that you can't change. They are royalty, so they only breed with other griffins that have the same last few litters in their name. (Also called of same house)
Random information, Vampiric also activates on the breath attack so you can suck health from a distance One of ours is named Wiggly woo, because there is a worm at the bottom of the garden
For your trap you have about 15 extra foundations, 4 extra quarter ceilings, and 36 to many walls. 1 foundation on top of a light pet, there is your trap. Just throw the eggs off the back of the drake and you'll be fine. You don't have to worry about it loosing aggro this way either. The drake flies entirely differently when it's overweight or close to it. You aren't going crazy there. Couple of videos back when you read to web down so you can right click again, and you forgot. Parachute would have worked as well pretty easily craft on the go. Then again so are wooden ladders...ah, I shouldn't have paused to type that, you made ladders. There ya go. There is nothing with hotboxing yourself, JS.
@Syntac i wanna mention that it is possible to perfect tame a Basilisk (at least it works like that in ARK 1 so maybe here too) quite easily without a trap. all things you need is a Bulbdog of any level, a foundation and your eggs. 1. place the Bulbdog on the ground and have him passive and not following you 2. place the Foundation ONTOP of the Bulbdog (i reccomend leaving the render distance real quick after this and comming back as sometimes the Bulbdog just phases through the foundation and gets pushed ontop of it, which means you gotta do the first 2 steps again) 3. place the eggs ontop of the foundation. 4. lure the Basilisk towards the Eggs and once he reaches it keep going for a bit until he looses aggro the Basilisk will try to attack the Bulbdog but will never reach him and since he´s too occupied to attack the Bulbdog he will never even think about burrowing. he´ll just keep attacking and once he wants to eat an egg, he will. also the Basilisk looses effectiveness whenever he TRIES to burrow. it doesn´t matter if he did or didn´t. whenever he tries he looses effectiveness
You doesnt even need the trap, just dismount from the Drake to aggro it and mount again, throw an egg and wait, he will not agro the Drake because it counts as a medium carnivore (Yeah, I know) so it will eventually aggro the egg, if it bury itself just repeat
I'm glad basilisks are breedable in base game now. We used to breed them thanks to the "Better Dino" mod, back on ASE. We fully mutated them and defeated the bosses. They're just great, indeed! And, now, with the traits! I can't imagine what we can do! Lot of things :D
@morrt8579 yup! I'm actually breeding a good base for a breeding pair. It's amazing doing it without mods My only complaint is that they still aggro on them everything. Gods! It's a giant snake! At least smaller creatures shouldn't attack it 🙃 maybe something of the size of a Carno should avoid it
Itd be real neat if the griffins had some kind of sexual dimorphism, like the males having a bigger mane of feathers. Also, it'd be real nice if the left click attack could be like a sarcos that let's you rotate mid-air.
Nooblets showed the perfect taming method... Drop a small tame and cover it with a foundation. Put eggs on the foundation. Aggro the basilisk and run past the foundation. It will aggro to the tame and eat the eggs.
I use to put a small tame (cosmo, or light pet) under the center foundation, put eggs on top of it. The basilisk will agro to the pet, and eat the eggs on top of it.
Call it Typhon, it is a giant mo ster un greek mythology who is the son of gaia and tartarus. Sometimes, it is portrayed as a hydra. This also just happens to be my snakes name
take a light pet, place a foundation over the top of it(covering) place eggs on top. get aggro, lead to pet/foundation. watch it tame. It doesnt lose aggro.
easy way we do it on offical is put 2 foundations over a shinehorn and drop the eggs on top of it. easiest tame on ab (but remember they aggro onto anything so clear the area first).
If you let go of W while gliding with the rock drake, you will not fall to the ground. Just hold shift the whole time, but make sure you are not looking up while doing this.
On ASE with the map Fjdour, I used our rock drakes for the eggs to tame the basilisk but no suit and no trap. I placed the eggs down while riding on my wyvern. Aggro one and just walk over the eggs while it chases you. Tamed one that way too. Wyvern running on the ground no flying.
Losing some effectiveness isn't a big deal, syntac lost effectiveness as well. Just better to do it without a trap. It shows your a better player if you can do it without a trap as well
@@TTV_FoxQueen I won't say it makes you a better player, it's just a different playstyle. I play like Axeman, I almost never trap my tames unless necessary, like the Yi Ling '^^
Hey Syntac great vid dude! However, u could use 2 foundations and like one light pet and if u choose to do this merely place one foundation on top of one shoulder pet then after u place it down, throw the eggs in like the one next or on top of the foundation where the shoulder pet is under, finally run the basilisk and get it to the spot where u placed down the foundation with the shoulder pet and the eggs. U could draw agro from like a mount or on foot tbh...when it gets there it'll agro on the shoulder pet (which it'll never be able to hit...btw DON'T USE A COSMO! They don't seem to really notice them might be too small or some shit), as it agros on them it'll start eating the eggs and pretty easy tame tbh already done it with a 145 and a 150. Gl with ur next one! XD
The only thing that really drains stam fast is staying buried, tried taming an Evo giga that way since it'll knock itself out trying to bite you but cant hurt you. Stam drained so fast just sitting there in the ground that i almost lost the basilisk. Luckily i was near water and was able to get away, once they sniff the giga hearts and challenge you to survive, they are absolutely relentless.
Watched 3 of you guys tame a basilisk. Jim struggled on foot trying to use the light pet under foundation method but it didn’t really work & he lost a lot of taming effectiveness. Axe did it on a drake just dropping the eggs which was glitchy & he also lost a lot of levels. So the trap was definitely the easiest & most effective method even if some taming effectiveness was lost. Personally I used the light pet under foundation method to tame my first basilisk & it worked perfectly, not sure why it didn’t for Jim.
I feel the Yi-Ling is a much better option for "flying". It glides for ever, so get up high with a few dashes and you'll can travel really far. I haven't found a way to get very far on the Drake yet.
Really? I find drakes way better, maybe not in strictly mobility but there’s more to a regularly used tame than distance traveled or ease of movement. Drakes also aren’t targeted by things like raptors, scorpions, ravagers, and other small creatures. Plus they can go invisible to be ignored by everything. Drakes have better weight, more immediate damage, more health, and they’re actually really good at swimming. By the way what I do to maximize a drake’s glide is while in the air try to set them almost straight, I’ve glided across Valguero doing this and it’s not fast but it works
I actually weirdly like the mobile mechanics for griffin breeding. Every wild griffin has a name and you can only breed griffins that have the same last few letters (people used to call them surnames when I played so I guess it was like married couples lol). It could be a pain to find good ones that were compatible but it made it interesting and kept griffins fairly rare, especially since mobile didn't have custom servers so you were only playing with official rates and it took about a month to raise them.
I just facetank the basilisks with my Rock Drake and at times quickly dis and remount to keep aggro on me while it slowly eats the eggs. Tamed like 50 Basilisks at this point that way

Griffins are breadable in mobile and they come out like a golden egg
And for some time alpha karkinos were spawning with babys so
So what?@@atilaatila5175
Man name it Fang

owl griffin mod has them be egg layers.
Maybe it's like some lizards and snakes that can both lay eggs and give live birth
They’re breedable on Ark mobile, they have a golden glowing egg

Jim tried that and it bugged out.
@@JS-mh9uu oh lame. Worked like a charm for me on official.
i was wondering if that still worked. made perfect taming in ase easy
how evil to burry your pet in the floor LOL
Not sure if anyone remembers or it’s been said already, but back in ASE there was a way to tame a basilisk where you would get negatively taming effectiveness and it would give a monster boost to the stats.

Jörmungandr, also known as the Midgard Serpent, in Norse mythology. Ouroboros, a world serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail.
Actually,
Royal griffins in ark mobile breed and they lay eggs.
But each griffin has a name that you can't change.
They are royalty, so they only breed with other griffins that have the same last few litters in their name. (Also called of same house)
Random information, Vampiric also activates on the breath attack so you can suck health from a distance
One of ours is named Wiggly woo, because there is a worm at the bottom of the garden
As soon as he said name suggestions I thought “people are going to say hawk rush, spit on that thing etc” and he read my mind.
Jormungandr ( your-man-gon-der) is the world snake name
That’s a great name for the basilisk in general!
For your trap you have about 15 extra foundations, 4 extra quarter ceilings, and 36 to many walls. 1 foundation on top of a light pet, there is your trap. Just throw the eggs off the back of the drake and you'll be fine. You don't have to worry about it loosing aggro this way either.
The drake flies entirely differently when it's overweight or close to it. You aren't going crazy there.

There is nothing with hotboxing yourself, JS.
So glad they made the basilisk breedable! Also it would be so cool if they made more creatures that had thr wyverns' breath attacks!
Did they nerf the stats of it? I can't find any info on it
One of my most anticipated videos of your abb series
@Syntac i wanna mention that it is possible to perfect tame a Basilisk (at least it works like that in ARK 1 so maybe here too) quite easily without a trap. all things you need is a Bulbdog of any level, a foundation and your eggs.
1. place the Bulbdog on the ground and have him passive and not following you
2. place the Foundation ONTOP of the Bulbdog (i reccomend leaving the render distance real quick after this and comming back as sometimes the Bulbdog just phases through the foundation and gets pushed ontop of it, which means you gotta do the first 2 steps again)
3. place the eggs ontop of the foundation.
4. lure the Basilisk towards the Eggs and once he reaches it keep going for a bit until he looses aggro
the Basilisk will try to attack the Bulbdog but will never reach him and since he´s too occupied to attack the Bulbdog he will never even think about burrowing. he´ll just keep attacking and once he wants to eat an egg, he will.
also the Basilisk looses effectiveness whenever he TRIES to burrow. it doesn´t matter if he did or didn´t. whenever he tries he looses effectiveness
You doesnt even need the trap, just dismount from the Drake to aggro it and mount again, throw an egg and wait, he will not agro the Drake because it counts as a medium carnivore (Yeah, I know) so it will eventually aggro the egg, if it bury itself just repeat
You'll never get a better name for it than Jim's.
He saw the opportunity & went for it.
18:10 how did he bring up camera controls like that?
I'm glad basilisks are breedable in base game now.
We used to breed them thanks to the "Better Dino" mod, back on ASE. We fully mutated them and defeated the bosses. They're just great, indeed! And, now, with the traits! I can't imagine what we can do! Lot of things :D
The better dino mod is actually like the best mod ever i love it so much
@borzoilover4156 I totally agree. It made useful almost every dino!
theyre absolute monsters now, already solid base stats, breedable now and no more oxygen points so 50+ points in the other stats is easily possible
@morrt8579 yup! I'm actually breeding a good base for a breeding pair. It's amazing doing it without mods
My only complaint is that they still aggro on them everything. Gods! It's a giant snake! At least smaller creatures shouldn't attack it 🙃 maybe something of the size of a Carno should avoid it
A magnificent beast. Also my new Tranq method. Bite every ten seconds and easily and cheaply tame everything
Itd be real neat if the griffins had some kind of sexual dimorphism, like the males having a bigger mane of feathers. Also, it'd be real nice if the left click attack could be like a sarcos that let's you rotate mid-air.
Nooblets showed the perfect taming method...
Drop a small tame and cover it with a foundation. Put eggs on the foundation. Aggro the basilisk and run past the foundation. It will aggro to the tame and eat the eggs.
Yes they can go into boss fights and they are pretty good at taming things that have high health. I really enjoy them too.
It makes me so happy that basilisk armies are now possible
I use to put a small tame (cosmo, or light pet) under the center foundation, put eggs on top of it. The basilisk will agro to the pet, and eat the eggs on top of it.
The gryphon mod out now has them breedable
No more real Syntac fans are you here bot we’re free
Jormungand is the name of the world snake, but you can just call this guy "Jorge"
Wow syntac wow I remember watching your videos like 6 years ago
Wow
Its wild cause Griffins are breedable on mobile, they come out as eggs btw
Call it Typhon, it is a giant mo ster un greek mythology who is the son of gaia and tartarus. Sometimes, it is portrayed as a hydra. This also just happens to be my snakes name
take a light pet, place a foundation over the top of it(covering) place eggs on top. get aggro, lead to pet/foundation. watch it tame. It doesnt lose aggro.
easy way we do it on offical is put 2 foundations over a shinehorn and drop the eggs on top of it. easiest tame on ab (but remember they aggro onto anything so clear the area first).
"Today I am hoping to tame a Basilisk", said statement is following a clip of him riding the dino he is hoping to tame lol.
If you let go of W while gliding with the rock drake, you will not fall to the ground. Just hold shift the whole time, but make sure you are not looking up while doing this.

i love watching your ark videos you were the first person who got me into playing ark when i was younger love the vidoes man keep it up
love your content syntac, truly the best ark youtuber
The astreos creator is the man who made nothing other than fjordur and valguero
He made other thingd but man, theses maps are freaking bangers
You don't need a trap for a basilisk, just kill everything around the area first then start the taming, axe did it perfectly without a trap
Not perfectly tho, his basilisk lost a lot of effectiveness because et buried a couple of times
Losing some effectiveness isn't a big deal, syntac lost effectiveness as well. Just better to do it without a trap. It shows your a better player if you can do it without a trap as well

Best Video so far in the series.
Dude syntac you gotta make THE MOST POWERFUL basilisk EVER!!!!!!!!
Griffins laid eggs in stories and other media. Mobile griffins also lay eggs.
basilisks as far as i can remember from ase where breedable it was the karkinos that wasnt
No they weren’t breedable unless you used mods
Hey Syntac great vid dude!

I mean a shoulder pet in a metal fountain still works
Alright we’re getting into the late game now! I wonder if you’ve covered this already, but what’s your opinion on the reaper scaling changes?
Syntac u forgot to mention that the basilisk is amazing at knocking out creatures. So u dont have to craft arrows all the time
I don’t know if it still works because of ai changed and bugs, but Nooblets ASE trap always worked really well for me
That looks like the same exact spot where Jim tamed his 150 Basilisk.
Awesome video, congrats :) Saw a video of using billboards to tame Basilisk.
I always scare other tribes when I go on meat runs definitely one of my favorite Dino’s in ark

It's not just you concerning the Rock Drake, they are really weird to control right now.
6:50 Thats what she said.
Very resource intensive way to get a Nope Rope but still a good one.
We got a 49 meele basilisk on official. Leveled it yelds almos 3k topor with each bite. very nice

Name it after the world serpent in Norse mythology "Jormungandr"
Oh, the dreaded episode 35.
5 more till the next series ends boy's, enjoy what you can till we never return to this ark again.
So what if it ends with Ep40? We have almost done everything lol
"I love basilisks ecpecialy now that they're breedable" Me: "doing my absolute best not to laugh"
I just facetank the basilisks with my Rock Drake and at times quickly dis and remount to keep aggro on me while it slowly eats the eggs. Tamed like 50 Basilisks at this point that way
i saw at first "i finally tamed a ballsakk!"
Should have done a single foundation and a light pet for an instant tame
Either slimie or the worm lol
So… drop the light pet, top with foundation, and put your eggs on the foundation. Easy-peasy.
Love your videos
Who else thinks Syntac needs to play ark mobile with the boys on sossage party and tame some royal griffins?
danger noodle is a classic name
I mean griffins were breedable in the mobile version so they should be able to be bred in ragnarok.
I think I only used a 2x2 with a ramp to run up and throw the egg in.
Honestly name a basilisk after types of sniper rifles like:
AS-50
Dragonov
Paladin
30:03 w opinion
Syntac Ik the ark industry is dying but PLEASE don’t stop making ark content
I would call the basilisk, "Spitball"
You could’ve put all your eggs in a linked storage and then went on location with a new box and pulled it all out there
Rockdrake's were able to breed back in ark survival Evolved
call him Jörmungandr it’s the world serpent
Name it drake, cause its a very long snake💀💀
how do you not have the hud overlay of the hazard helmet while you wear it ? :)
Hiii! Thanks for the video
I agree with you griffins are awesome
Does anyone know the mod name that lets syntac see the points for dinos in the menu where it has it separated into before tame ect ect
When axe tamed his his basilisk went into the ground a few times and I don’t think he lost effectiveness
That was a easy tame compared to Axe and Jim. ❤ Good content.❤
@syntac on mobile when griffins breed they produce a golden egg to hatch :)
Griffins are breedable on Ark mobile🙊 they come out as a glowing golden egg 🍳
Basilisk name suggestion: Jimmy-Steve
As it is green, my name suggestions are Snot Ball , Luggie or Phlegm lol
in most Mythology and games griffins lay eggs.
The snaky guy name. dior,gone,mund,do,a
Name the snake base,ill,risk.
Does it need to bury itself in between to keep taming effect.
Keep up the good work!!!!
I hate when they needlessly nurf stuff in games
The world serpent is Jormungandr
