Baryonyx’s are awesome!
Their mutations are prob one of the best, I had one named Grass and she could take on an Alpha Rex in the water Solo.
She’s gone now :(

When your growing up theses guys they must eat fish meat when they reach adolescence! They will start to starve if they don't get it!! Up bote so people can see!!

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

Okay, so this thing eats any fish meat... then why does it eat me?

Seems as of the new TLC you can no longer pick them up with an Argentavis and they seem to be larger.

Absolute must have game for beginners like me. One killed my para, so I reloaded the save and headed over with some tranq arrows and fish meat. Perched on a rock and he was out fast. Starve tamed and it was pretty easy. Only difficulty was keeping the dilos away. Afterwards I was thinking it’d be just another average beginner tame- but it wasnt. Toxin, my bary, is a real trooper. I once took our houseboat into the swamps, just messin around. He took out three sarcos and another bary. Later took on a meg and three mantas at once. Seriously, best thing ever.

Excellent tame for living on a boat due to it's ability to breathe underwater. Will harvest hundreds of raw fish meat whilst defending you from other underwater nasties. My Bary lvl 64, named Ratchet, killed in excess of 35 Megs before meeting his match with a lvl 40 Alpha Meg whilst defending our house boat. A salute to all your hard work old friend, you shall be avenged.

Spino + Raptor = Baryonyx. faster than the raptor on land and faster than the spino in water... cool dinosaur

BOLA no longer immobilizes. I feel their size has been also change visually seems larger.

Never fight in water you’ll be stunned

Use a bola on these guys then shoot it in the head like so starters can see this

When I was a noobie in Ark I saw this guy. Like the therizinosaur incident with me thinking this guy is passive I walked up to him while he was busy dealing three raptors. He slew the raptors easily then he drew his attention to me. I was like “Hello there” and he was like “Omae wa, mou shindeiru.” He stunned and easily killed me. Lesson learned. Don’t ever, ever go near creatures dealing with other hostiles. You might save your character by doing this.

Really good for exploring caves. Just NOT lava cave!! RIP Leafclaw😔😢

Dont fight it in the water unless you enjoy being stun locked and drowning to death.

My baby girl the red baroness gets me EVERYWHERE in the water she can deal with megalodons and mantas really easily in conclusion baryonyx are AMAZING travel mounts. Thanks for taking time to read this

Sincerely a random Dododex user

To the person who said why does it eat me (All types of fish meat dude)
We are secretly fish

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!
:)

NEVER and I mean NEVER FIGHT IN WATER. They will stun and all you can do is wait as you see this thing kill your lv 132 triceratops. That has killed rexs. Rip Trixie the triceratops Jan 2020- Mar 2020.

Do not underestimate the usefulness of these guys, I had I baryonyx that was a low level and he still was able of taking on most creatures and was such a good travel mount

These things can roar like Rex and Spinos to intimidate other players and dinos hope this helped
