Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a baryonyx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a baryonyx.
This dinosaur is a very intricate but interesting dinosaur to get. I did find it near the shore line as it had seen me and wanted to eat me. However I had 5 tranq arrows which you can get at lvl 21. I shot all 5 and he fell to the ground. Very good dinosaur to tame especially in the water. It beats anything in the water even with its stun strike. I recommend using this dino to fight. I have one named Juju. One like equals One love for Juju
You get raw prime fish meat if you use a sickle on a sabertooth salmon, that is faster than the regular fish meat..
They are pescatarians so they only eat fish
YOU CAN NO LONGER BOLA THESE!!!!! REMEMBER THAT!!!
Trying to tame one of the most versatile cave dinos in the game? Continue reading! Before we use yet another tame slot, let's prepare for some taming! Here's what you'll want to pack:
DIFFICULTY: 4.5/10 (Fairly Easy)
WHAT YOU NEED:
-Taming Weapon + Ammo: (Bow (Tranq Arrow) Crossbow, (Tranq Arrow), Longneck (Tranq/ Shocking Tranq Darts) )
-Biotoxins/ Narcotics
-Fish Meat or Raw Prime Fish Meat
Alright, now that you're up and ready, let's go!
Now, for taming a Baryonyx, there are a few methods (ok only 2 ik):
METHOD 1: THE TRAP
The usual. However, there are a few modifications to this new trap. Here's what you'll need:
MATERIALS:
-1x Stone Foundation
-8x Stone Doorways
-2-3x Wooden Ramps
NOTE: I will include an extra option for this method, where wooden ramps are not needed.
Now that you have your trap built, lure the Baryonyx into the trap. Start shooting it through the gaps in the doorways until its knocked out. Put raw FISH meat (They do not eat Raw Meat or Prime Meat) in its inventory and wait for it to tame. Make sure to keep an eye on its torpor and feed it biotoxins/ narcotics if needed. However, you can also go and hunt for raw prime fish meat (No megalodon needed) if you have a sickle, where you can harvest prime fish meat from Sabertooth Salmon corpses. Wait a little while and boom! A new Baryonyx!
Now, with the second option:
You can use an Argentavis to pick up the Baryonyx and drop it into the trap, saving you some resources in that you do not need the wooden ramps. Repeat the taming process and boom! Your Baryonyx is ready!
METHOD 2: The Easy Method
The only thing you need for this method is the Bola. Find a Baryonyx (Usually found in swamps which are dangerous, but can spawn along rivers.), get it to aggro on you, and bola it while its running to you. You can try to club him but I would definitely tranq it down. Once its down, repeat the taming process mentioned above and name your new Baryonyx!
Now, onto the utilities of this creature:
UTILITIES:
Baryonyxes are great cave dinos, with decent health, melee, speed and stamina. Although there are better options for different caves, the Baryonyx is the most versatile and is great for most, if not all caves, this is due to their stats and also slender body, allowing it to fit through most slim cracks in caves. Do note that when force fed Raw Meat, the Baryonyx will not heal, but force feeding fish meat will. They also have a AoE ability that only works in water which does a tail spin attack, stunning nearby creatures (Not all of them) and doing damage (It works up to the Megalodon I believe.).
That's all I have to say about the Baryonyx. Thank you for sticking around and happy taming!

Really good for exploring caves. Just NOT lava cave!! RIP Leafclaw😔😢
i tamed this one and named it: bary-onyx
it was easy u just need tranq darts (5-7) and fish
u can't find them at the coast, u have to look at the rivers
one UP for Barry please
Can u pick up Bary with an Argy??? Click the forwards facing arrow ( I had to word it weird ) if yes, down if no. Tysm
Get on top of a rock and unload shock darts with you buddy!
WARNING They only eat fish meat. When hactching, be ready with multiple fridges of fish meat. Raw is fine the first couple of hours because they are RAVENOUS and it wont have time to spoil
In ark mobile these things can be bola.
I just did my first dungeon and got Baryonyx and Mammoth implants which one should I Tame? up for Baryonyx down for Mammoth 5 votes decide.
To the person who said why does it eat me (All types of fish meat dude)
We are secretly fish
Bola no longer work. Found this out after throwing 4 at one. Let people know, it will save countless lives and bolas.
The thing you should do is
1. Make a pen and get them in it
2.get a good level like a 123 or something
3. Now you can kill alpha raptor
A good way I learned to tame these is to put a large circle of bear traps on the ground, then shoot it from the opposite side. If it breaks out of one of the bear traps, it just runs into another
These dinos like the water so look by the rivers! They are good swimmers and if you live near beaver dams an easy saddle to make!

Why do they attack me and other herbivores if they only eat fish meat?
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
