Chomper
Hmm it says you can’t bola this dude…*stares at the 140 red baryonyx I bola’d*
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
BOLA no longer immobilizes. I feel their size has been also change visually seems larger.
1. Find a Baryonyx
2. Climb on a rock
3. Shoot it with tranq arrows
4. Feed it fish me
5. You have a Baryonyx
Very nice tame to have around. In the water they have a stun strike and are excellent runners, swimmers, and jumpers. They have strong attacks and can hit enemies at the right angle to where you are never hit until it’s dead. Easy tame as well, just bow and trap arrows pack a few cause sometime they will run before falling unconscious. You can find them in swamps and beaches walking the shore.
Like so everyone can see
Hey hey beginner don’t be scared if you see this than your in luck if you have 2 bola and fish meat than bola it and than tame it I think you already know that your in luck for reading this tip
I don't know why this isn't a tip from anyone else but once tamed it only eats fish.
This thing is crazy do not let your small dinos fight it rip bob
Bola's work on these, can tame anywhere even in water, prime fish meat is best so take a fishing rod and all the necessary equipment needed, easy tame
Trapless Taming Method
⚠️This is what I do and this method may not work for everyone. ⚠️
I take a high-health take (think a turtle or something) that allows weapon use on the mount. Let the Baryonyx attack your tame while you shoot it with tranq arrows/darts. MAKE SURE THIS IS ON LAND! If you are in the water, the Bary WILL knock you off your mount and stun you. They will flee after enough hits but they'll be knocked out after fleeing for a little. Good luck survivors! (I used this method on a lvl. 100 female, I named her Lilypad).
Baryonyx is carryable by argy on mobile!
How to tame one of these cuties!
1. Find a decent rock you can get on but the bary cant (or make a stone trap?)
2. Bola it
3. Shoot tranq arrows or tranq darts at its face
4. Once KO’d, feed it preferably kibble since that will take the least amount of time but if you want you can also use fish meat
5. Tadah! You got yourself an amazing midgame dino, use it for caves if a decent level and exploring. Don’t underestimate them!
