Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Basilisk — Detailed Guide

The Basilisk is a giant snake from Aberration. It burrows underground, spits poison and carries a great deal.

Where to find it

The deep zones of Aberration in both games, Valguero in ASA, and Crystal Isles in ASE.

Taming

A passive tame: drop fertilized eggs near it and let it eat them. See the taming calculator for which eggs. Its saddle unlocks at level 85.

Uses

Burrowing to avoid attacks, poison spit, and a high carry weight.

Tips

Keep a stack of eggs ready: the tame needs a lot of them.
