Alpha Basilisk — Detailed Guide

The Alpha Basilisk is the alpha form of the Basilisk, the giant burrowing snake of Aberration. It is much larger, glows red inside a red-orange cloud and is very fast. Unlike a normal Basilisk, its attacks do not cause torpor.

Where to find it

ASE: Aberration and Fjordur.

How to get one

You cannot. It is not tameable, rideable or breedable, and it is torpor immune. It is a creature to kill for its loot.

Uses

It always drops the Alpha Basilisk Fang, plus Basilisk Scale, Hide, Raw Meat and Raw Prime Meat.

Tips

It burrows and spits poison, and it is too fast to outrun on foot. Fight it with a strong mount, not on foot.
