Brute Basilosaurus
Brute Basilosaurus Egg & Breeding Calculator
Instead of laying eggs, the Brute Basilosaurus carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.
The baby Brute Basilosaurus takes approximately 4 days and 19 hours to fully mature at default rates - over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~694 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~46h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~58h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Brute Basilosaurus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The Brute Basilosaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~694 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Brute Basilosaurus babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
The Brute Basilosaurus, an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Brute Basilosaurus has respectable melee power. With 2,400 base Health, the Brute Basilosaurus is among the tougher creatures. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it moderate endurance. A base Weight of 700 means massive inventory space.
The Brute Basilosaurus is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Brute Basilosaurus yields 15 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.75 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
