ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Steelslaughter here,
Perhaps the most versatile, combat oriented, tankiest, and easiest water tames, I’ve converted two basilo’s into near-invincible war machines I can only describe as ARK’s equivalents of an underwater John-117. I, no joke, led 20 or so megalodons to one and all of them were shredded in under a minute. Also they produce oil, which is nice, but it spoils, so I usually solve the oil situation with my dunkleosteus. Very well rounded and a PASSIVE tame, would certainly recommend!
Peace out,

The basilo is a great underwater tame, preventing dismounts, when it goes to a certain depth it starts to lose health, although it has so much health it doesn’t rly matter, it is widely used for soaking underwater bases due to its high health, to protect yourself from being ezily underwater raided you can set ur turrets to only survivers, don’t do it on all turrets though only the ones that a basilo can soak you should put on only survivers
This creature has to be one of the most useful aquatic tames. It's literally the best bio toxin harvester because of its immunity to electric shocks, plus has amazing stats. We also can't ignore the fact that it generates oil passively. The cherry on top is that it's a passive tame!!
