ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These animals do wonderfully for caving expeditions! They especially work nicely in undersea caves as well. All you gotta do is pump into health and melee, find a high level Bary and you’re golden. Imprinted ones are a nice bonus but the one I use was wild caught at lv. 145. Just finished the cave containing the Artifact of the Clever with my Baryonyx, Greenbeard. He slew many bats and spiders. He is my indispensable caving mount and made it a breeze. Plus if you fall into water, that tail spin makes short work of most aquatic critters. Please, Wildcard, never nerf this tame. 100/10, a wonderful and good boi for any survivor to have.
ASA trap for Baryonyx. Place a single stone foundation, on three sides put up tall single doorways, on top of the middle doorway place a roof sloping up and over the foundation, in one of the side doorways place a door opening towards the open side, place a bear trap down and lure him through then open the door so it closes off the open side. Happy taming
BOLAS WORK ON MOBILE! Hope others see this
Seems as of the new TLC you can no longer pick them up with an Argentavis and they seem to be larger.

Breading warning: Babies will only eat fish meat, will not eat regular raw meat, died instead.
They love dancing water ballet with you. What a killer twirl.
So, I began playing Ark, and happened to build a base right next to where a Baryonyx lived. My friend was gathering things from the other side of the river, and led one right to the base. It had been like a Jaws movie for the next few days. Well, I have formed a plan to get rid of it. Wish me luck!
1: Do not fight them in water under any circumstances
2: Lure them on to land
3: Use a bola
4: Attempt to Tranquilse with bow and arrow or better
Remember: They can only be tamed with fish meat and they usually kill all the fish in the area so you should probably have some prepared beforehand.
I finally knocked this bad boy then a stupid freaking raptor! (My raptor) thought it was still alive and killed it then gather the rest of it :(
For Mobile users, the Barry CAN be picked up by the Argi.
Extremely useful, find them near almost any river bank. Lure them out of the water (do NOT try to fight them in the water, you will 100% die) and bola them. Then either knock them out with a few hits or hit it with a tranq arrow. We use them as protection when traveling, and they have takes out everything from a pack of raptors to a therinosaurus to carnos.
Mostly found throughout all the rivers on the island. Not found on Scorched Earth.
