Player notes
Baylock is Micah Bell's horse in Red Dead Redemption 2. He is a Missouri Fox Trotter with a unique black coat, blue eyes, a bald face marking and white socks on all four legs. Classified as a Race / Work horse, Baylock has a medium build and Standard handling.
Baylock has speed rated at 7, acceleration at 5, health at 5 and stamina at 6. He is used as Micah's mount throughout 1899, accompanying the Van der Linde gang from Colter through its later camps. He can be seen at camp when Micah is present.
Micah rides Baylock during scouting trips, robberies, escapes and the gang's movements between camps. Baylock becomes restless and may rear when disturbed, and thunder frightens him, but he does not shy away from gunfire. He remains Micah's horse through the events at Beaver Hollow, then carries him away as he flees the Pinkertons during "Red Dead Redemption".
Trivia
- โIn the beta, Baylock originally had the same markings Dark Horse from Red Dead Redemption. However, his design was changed completely in order to make him more distinct: He was given blue eyes, an asymmetrical face pattern, and two front socks.
- โBaylock may have been named in reference to the 1976 film The Omen. In the film, a nanny named Mrs. Baylock is a disciple of Hell sent to watch over the child Damien, who is revealed to be the Antichrist.
- โIf Baylock dies (which typically results in a game over), Micah will react with genuine shock, anger, and sadness.
- โIn one instance, it is possible to kill Baylock without it resulting in a mission failure. Right after finishing Micah's coach robbery in Chapter 4, he will ride away on his horse. While Micah himself is invulnerable at this point, Arthur can throw dynamite or a fire bottle at him which will also result in a loss of honor and Micah running away on foot. Like with all mission characters, Baylock will simply respawn back at camp afterwards.
- โWhen carrying hay bales around the camp, Micah may tell Arthur to "make sure Baylock gets some" similar to Bill, Sean, and Hosea.
- โBaylock has a 'bald' face marking in the world of horses. 'Bald-faced' is another term for 'barefaced', meaning 'shameless, impudent, audacious'. This can be seen as a reflection of Micah's character throughout the narrative.
