How to Tame Basilisk?
Basilisks are passively tamed but need to be lured in a way as they need to feed on a Fertilized Rock Drake Egg that you have dropped.
Make sure to have a good supply of these eggs and drop one before you head over to the Basilisk that you wish to tame.
Once you have dropped a Fertilized Rock Drake Egg, lure the Basilisk by making it aggressive towards you and allow it to eat the egg.
Repeat this until the taming bar is full and if this method seems to be hard, you can always use Behemoth Gates to trap the Basilisk and drop the eggs from above.

Overview
Basilisks are one of the most dangerous creatures that you can find in Aberration and they are capable of killing almost any survivor or tame that comes their way.
These creatures should be avoided if you have no tames with you and it would be wise to only attempt to tame them if you have everything you need to avoid casualties.
Tribes that are able to tame a Basilisk gain an upper hand when it comes to fighting enemies and surviving the harsh environment that tribes need to go through.
