The regen is insane the abilities are insane(being able to disregard any ocean critters specil attacks) and its stam is great

Pro tip here! When ever I find one of these I also find a bunch of mantas, so if you find one you will get a lot of fish meat!

They also gather loads of chitin and keratin

KING OF OCEAN SPECIALLY IN MOBILE VERSION ONLY SMALL DRAWBACK IS LITTLE DAMAGE TAKEN AT DEEP WATER BUT AFTER LEVELING ON HEALTH POINT THAT'S NEVER A PROBLEM CAUSE IT'S REGENERATE HEATH AND STAMINA IS VERY QUICK.

AND FREE OIL IS BONUS POINT

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. :)

Breed and imprint it up to 100%, max it's attack and it's health over 10k welcome you've got yourself a Submarine.

These things are SO SLOW... But they help you not get electrocuted by anything so W?

I killed a basilo while sitting on ichy, it dropped 458 oil

Very good at taking many attacks

This is how to tame it

Get a itchy

Get raw meat or raw prime meat or raw prime fish meat.

Try to find one in the ocean. (If your in single player of your low level it will appear when your higher level)

If you found one with mantas around try to feed it and run away when the mantas start trying to attack you.

Boom you have a sea sausage

Tired of jellyfish? This guy is immune to their string set them in aggresive and ur underwater tame are safe for now

If you are on one of these you are immune to being shocked of by jelly’s and they are also like your own personal oil rock

A versatile tame in most sections. Combat, gathering, and exploring. It’s useful in most areas of the ocean except for deep diving. Unless ou don’t mind it’s help going down slowly it’s a great deep sea tame too. Especially how easy it is to get with the right dinos and prep.

These things are actually very strong for how easy they’re are to tame (relatively). I tamed a lvl 100 (wild, lvl 149 once tamed) and killed a pack of like 10 megalodons and only lost like 50 hp (it has 14K hp total).

Not entirely sure about Bas' Alt attack but it'll make a rainbow at surface levels.

To whoever said that these are the king of the ocean they literally are basilosaurus menas king lizard so that’s amazing

P.S can anyone tell me how to find one I’ve looked around herbivore island but cant find one i leave and go up to red I’ve done this more than 3 times yet I haven’t found 1

THEY DROP A UNGODLY AMOUNT OF OIL THIS GENOCIDE IS A MUST HAVE!!!

This thing is insane mine took out 5 megaladons at one time

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,

Tamed ones attract Icthys too!
