ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
An amazing badass dinosaur. When I was bringing this dude back to my base, I kept getting swarmed by mega’s. My bailo kept pulling me out of tough situations and easily could take on four megas at once. Just make sure to buff up its health as it takes awhile to even damage this dude. Literally, my favorite dinosaur. I’d pick bailo’s over mega’s any day.
When taming, make sure you kill all the mantas as they are a pain in the ass when your trying to tame the bailo. I got lucky and found my bailo stuck on a rock in shallow water, allowing me to kill all the mantas. I’d recommend a sarco or itchy for keeping up with the bailo as you try and tame it. Make sure to get the mantas to follow you out of the water and where the water is shallow enough for you to stand. Pikes are could for killing these mantas, just hold the attack bar down as they circle you, don’t let up or your dead. Stay near the shore when taming. Be patient and wait for the bailo to come to you when trying to find. :)

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!!
