Basilos dying instantly in deep water

[nekographic]

I dunno if anyone else has encountered this problem but I've had 2 of my basilos die instantly when I go down to deeper whater, at around the level mosas usually roam. The first time it happened I thought it might just be a bug but now that it happened again, I'm curious to know if anyone else has had problems with this.

pretty sure that was a mechanic of the basilos... or that's what I read on the dossier. They take damage at deep levels.

They're supposed to lose health dramatically when going into deep water, were they very low level?

If not then this is definitely a bug. I haven't bothered taming one yet.

Taking damage, yes but it never mentions anything about them dying instantly if taken to deep water.

One was only about lvl 40 but my basilo that died this afternoon was lvl 300+. Both were on full hp and the high lvl one had about 16k hp.

I have noticed its rate of taking damage speeds up very fast when diving even a little bit deeper. I have fought plesios and mosas at their ceiling depth, so it can go that deep, but I never braved going deeper than that. I can imagine it escalates to the point of insta-death relatively fast.

Haven't noticed it but I'll try it out with a low lvl basilo and see if it's hp will go down faster the lower I take it.

Yesterday I killed an Alpha Squid with my Basilo in the deep water ... it got hurt constantly by the deptht but only 50HP / second or so.

This has to be a bug.

Little late to reply but yes your basilo will instantly die if you go to deep. For example the depth it will take DMG is like 1000m and you go past 2000m depth then yes its POOF DEAD !

I have tested this now 10 times with a spawned it Basi and all died at a serten depth on also diffrent spots on Ragnarok. Especially on the edge of the map where this big deep trench is.

A pointless necro to something we've known for 3+ years....

Useful confirmation, thanks. I'd never have known.

This is old but I'm guessing this occurred on the center map? That map is apparently bugged when it comes to the basil depth damage. Even a spawned in super-basil with millions of health will instantly die the moment it hits the depth required to start taking depth damage. I don't have genesis but so far the other maps have at least worked as intended where the basil only takes a relatively minor amount of depth damage but can still be a viable underwater mount. I personally hate oceans, both irl and in game, so despite them being slow I LOVE my basils that laugh at most the underwater threats. Center is the only map I am incapable of using them on because of this glitch though. Unfortunately, wildcard also seems far more interested in creating new content rather than fixing the content they have known to be bugged for years so chances are they don't care to fix it, ever.

ikr but according to some (crazy) people this game has no bug
