The Alpha Basilisk in Ark Aberration is a beefed up version of the standard Basilisk with a red glow. It is the fastest land tame that you can have in the game. However, finding and taming this creature is not that simple.
You can only ride this creature by force-taming it, and in this guide, we will give you complete details on how to do it. We will also look at the items this creature drops and the best locations to locate it in Ark Aberration.
How to Force Tame an Alpha Basilisk?
You cannot tame an Alpha Basilisk through conventional means in Ark: Survival Ascended. To get a tamed Alpha Basilisk, you need to use a cheat. Once you’ve located an Alpha Basilisk, keep it in your crosshairs and open the cheat dialogue box. Type in “cheat forcetame” and hit enter to tame this creature in Ark Aberration.
If at any point you want to get rid of the Alpha Basilisk you summon, you can use the following command “cheat destroytarget”.
How to Kill an Alpha Basilisk?
First, you must remember if you find an Alpha Basilisk in the wild, don’t get close to it. Having some strong tames to deal with these creatures would be best, and you could use ranged weapons.
It can use poison attacks, so be careful of that. It has an incredible speed, so running away from it wouldn’t be an option.
You can take it underwater and kill it easily using the Spinosaurus and Rock Drake, as it cannot attack you while underwater. Its speed is not as fast underwater as on the ground. It would be best if you lured it inside the water.
Once killed, it will drop the following items.
- Alpha Basilisk Fang
- Basilisk Scale
- Hide
- Raw Meat
- Raw Prime Meat
