![]() ![]() While training it, take some extra time to teach it eyeball manners/to wear blinders (like a horse). Just keep in mind that it's still a dangerous creature, it's a medium creature, it's a monstrosity that turns things t stone with a gaze, it needs to eat at least as much as you do. If you've done all of this successfully and your DM is cool, they should allow you an animal companion Basilisk. This is basically the equivalent of a rolled up newspaper or spray water bottle. ![]() It'll show the creature that you are boss, and reinforce behavioral changes. Cast command while you let yourself recast the spells from step 1 or 2 next turn. If the creature is able to attack you in any way, than the charmed condition from steps 1 and 2 will have failed and the spell is done anyway, so no use crying over spilt spell slots and concentration. When all else fails, cast Command on the sweety, especially if it starts getting bitey.If you're level 11, you can reasonably do this for six hours a day, so keep at it. I recommend taking at least one full day to train it in this way, but preferably a week. Remember that you can upcast this spell to use it as many times as necessary to train the creature. I suggest following up step one with this once you're out of 8th level spell slots. If you're not high level enough for an 8th level spell, try charm monster, which is almost as good in this situation.Continue this until the creature begins to consider you a source for food and comfort rather than as comfort food.

Make sure that it's immediate needs are met, especially food. In 5E, the 'save or die' effects of petrification is given a power-up phase so the PC has to fail two consecutive Saving Throws to be petrified. ![]() Try giving it it a little more autonomy as time goes on if it's going well. Have it gently interact with you while you pamper it and speak with it.
