Exceptional Kibble
Overview
The Basilosaurus is a large aquatic carnivore used primarily for soaking. It reduces the weight of resources carried in its inventory, making it efficient for underwater salvage operations. This creature excels at transporting heavy harvests from ocean floors back to bases. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

More about taming the Basilosaurus
Basilosaurus is tamed passively by feeding it. The best food is Exceptional Kibble, which provides the fastest taming speed. Raw Mutton also works if kibble is unavailable. About 14 units of Exceptional Kibble are needed. The process takes around 18 minutes and requires approximately 81 Narcotics to maintain sedation. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Basilosaurus has a strong vulnerability to spike walls, taking +400% more damage, making it highly susceptible in defensive perimeters. It also takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos and +55% more from Melee Dino Carnivore Small Electrocute. Conversely, it is fully resistant to Mining Drill Harvest and Melee Dino Carnivore Small Electrocute damage. Level Health and Melee Damage.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making it the optimal target zone for faster knockouts. Focus attacks on the head when sedating. No other body zones have modified damage multipliers.

Tips
- The Basilosaurus takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making it extremely vulnerable in base defenses using them.
- It is fully immune to damage from Mining Drill Harvest, rendering such tools ineffective against it.
- Due to its passive taming method, it can be fed without knocking it out, avoiding torpor management entirely.
- Its weight reduction on Oil and Basilosaurus Blubber makes it ideal for deep-sea oil farming runs.
