The Basilisk is an 800-weight hauler that burrows through the ground — one of the best land transports in Aberration, and you tame it without a single tranquilizer.
The conclusion up front: drop fertilized eggs next to an idle Basilisk and let it eat. The only real obstacle is getting it to lose interest in you first.

How to tame it
- Use fertilized eggs. On Aberration use a fertilized Rock Drake Egg; on Genesis: Part 1 use a fertilized Magmasaur Egg.
- Drop the egg on the ground. Place it at or near the Basilisk while it is not burrowed.
- Make it idle first. Kite it until it stops chasing you — it rarely eats while aggro’d.
- Repeat. Each egg eaten adds taming progress; the parents’ levels can affect the bonus.
Why it is worth taming
- 800 weight. One of the best haulers in Aberration — ideal for metal and stone runs.
- Burrowing. It moves under the ground and surfaces where you need it.
- A capable fighter. 44 base damage and 2,750 health are not trivial.
The mistakes that waste eggs
- Dropping eggs while it chases you. It will not eat; kite first.
- Using standard eggs. Only fertilized eggs count.
- Approaching a burrowed Basilisk. Wait until it surfaces and is idle.
