Basilisk

Basilisk acts as if it has a 1.5% specialist bonus for RTI(∞) Tab when evolved as a Mage. = Special Ability =

Basilisk is unable to attack normally. Instead, Basilisk uses an AoE damage-over-time ability and all enemies will take (50% + 0.5% * Class Level) damage per turn. This damage continues every turn even if Basilisk dies, as long as the attack was used once at the start of the battle. More importantly, Basilisk also deals (150% + 1.5% * Class Level) damage to all enemies at the start of the room and reduces their elements by 10%. For the rest of the room, all enemies in the room lose 0.8% element per turn, stacking multiplicatively with T4 Knives. Elemental reduction from this attack is independent of the T4 Knife elemental reduction limit.

AoE damage does not work against reflect enemies.

The elemental reduction is multiplicative with the reduction with knives. Meaning that at turn 50 it will be a reduction of close to a reduction 75% of enemy element if they are reduced to 50% by knives and 49.2% due to the pet.

Basilisk will always deal 6 damage to the Cosmic Gnome enemy in the Depth 4 Forest dungeon.

In most situations, Basilisk will not be able to solo-clear a dungeon room. It is more effective against large groups of enemies, but will often need a second damage-focused pet to help clear out tougher fights. For this reason, Basilisk is a good secondary DPS to include on a team. And due to its effectiveness against Cosmic Gnomes, it makes a good addition to your lategame Forest team.

Unlock
Basilisk requires a somewhat lengthy process to unlock and evolve. Here on the wiki, we will regularly update with a new hint/step every week on Fridays until completed.

1st Step
Create Anything, but it will always be Destroyed by a Black Hole. Once you have unlocked both Nothing (Other) and Black Hole Chan, you will receive the first scroll, the Scroll of Beginnings, after killing P.Baal v1, Nonomo. There was a bug allowing you to unlock the scroll without meeting the requirements. This has been patched out, but you may have obtained the scroll without meeting the reqs.

2nd Step
"Reach the infinite end to receive the answer you seek."

After completing Step 1 and receiving the Scroll of Beginnings, you must climb your way up past P.Baal v146 and stare down P.Baal v147. This can ONLY be done if you have a 50% power reduction to P.Baals through completing UBC and/or completing a combination of UBC and UAC to total a 50% power reduction. Defeating P.Baal v146 can take a very long time depending on your stats. Basilisk's steps to unlock and evolve only get harder from here, so if this is a challenge for you it might be wise to put Basilisk on the backburner until you are stronger. You will receive the Scroll of the Basilisk.

3rd Step
"The creature is one capable of destruction of unparalleled proportion. Should the need for it to be awakened, note my following instructions."

Scroll of the Basilisk. For this step, you need to bring specific amounts of 3 different T4 materials to the Newbie Grounds boss. You will need 80 Mythril, 126 Jungle Stones, and 106 Sun Stones. Include these in your dungeon team's inventory, and send them off to the Newbie Grounds boss room. There is no special boss here, but you will lose all the required amount of T4 mats. Completing this step will unlock Basilisk and give you the Scroll of Trials - Infinite

4th Step
"Challenge yourself to reach infinity" Scroll of Trials - Infinite. You must start and finish a Road to Infinity challenge. Reminder that you can click "Finish" after 48 hours have passed, so you do not need to do the whole 7 days of the challenge. You do not need to get a certain score. Just start an RTI challenge and click Finish after 2 days when the button becomes available. You will receive the Scroll of Trials - Help once completed.

5th Step
"Some people will give Anything to get assistance" Scroll of Trials - Help. You need to send the pet Anything on the quests "Magic Talk" and "Heal a Lot" and complete the quests. (Note the names in the quests descriptions match the names hinted at in the scroll...) Be sure to class change Anything to meet the necessary requirements, or bring along another pet to meet them. Doing both of these quests will unlock the next step. You will receive the Scroll Key upon completion.

6th Step
"If you manage to find me... I will assist you..." Scroll Key - Finally, here you are. Compose a team of your strongest pets and take the final leap to evolve Basilisk. In that team, you MUST include Black Hole Chan, Anything, and Basilisk. Be sure to bring along the scroll obtained from Step 5 (the Scroll Key) in your team's inventory. When sending this team to the Forest Depth 4 boss room (room 60), you will encounter a new boss. You will fight against the normal Depth 4 boss, the Corrupt Fairy Queen, but with the new boss, the Creator, fighting alongside the Fairy Queen. The Creator can target multiple pets with each attack so be sure all your pets have strong defenses. After it drops to half health, it will summon stronger versions of the Forest Depth 3 bosses. These two D3 bosses have their normal D3 gimmicks but now with higher stats. All four bosses encountered in this fight are Earth-element.

As one final last resort, the Creator will deal a massive AoE attack when it drops to 10% HP. It will hit ALL pets for 49,999 damage. If you are able to survive this, you've made it. The Creator will no longer attack after launching this attack, so as long as all the other bosses are defeated you should be in the clear (as long as you can kill Creator before Turn 50...)

Finishing this fight will automatically evolve Basilisk into a Mage. Strategies for this fight will be added as more information is learned. Please feel free to reach out to either Trey or Skyshatter on Discord with any team examples.
