Tips & Strategies
I was in ragnarok down near the canyon (I forget where specifically) and I hopped off my Griffin to get some silica pearls and I got 3 batches. Note: My movement speed isn’t much desirable and it was at the peak of nighttime and considering I’ve had this game for about 2 months I didn’t know these h*llspawns swim or were even a thing so as I’m swimming back up I hear what sound or at least what I thought sounds like a pirhana starts attacking me and there’s 2 of them and then everything goes black and so I’m like “Since when do pirhanas leave you dazed and it wears off so I thought I’m almost there then it happens again and again 24 seconds of dazing later “You were killed by a Baryonyx - Lvl 150” I play on PS4 btw and that’s max level for a Dino you know besides the rare exception for the Lvl 168 Tek Stego you see sometimes.
More Baryonyx Encountering Tips
Okay, so this thing eats any fish meat... then why does it eat me?
Dont fight it in the water unless you enjoy being stun locked and drowning to death.
When simply crossing a river, a lvl 85 killed me and my 9 raptors. I was coming back from hunting with this raptor pack, shredding paracers, therizinosaurs, and other very strong creatures. All it took was one bary in water to just stun lock all 9 of them to death, and they couldn’t fight back. I respawned and managed to kill the bary on land with my Iguanadon, a quick and easy fight, took it out in a few hits.. The difference between land and water with these guys is insane. That water stun is no joke😭😭😭 I can’t even be mad, but Rest in Peace to Scamp, Atronach, Pyro, Smiley, Hectic, Raptor, Raptor, Raptor, and Raptor.
Keep in mind that if they are even stepping in water they are able to do the stun attack. So if you are in the swamp and you see a bary then avoid it or kill it fast enough that it doesn't stun both you and your tame resulting in you getting dismounted.
Lost 6 raptors to a Baryonyx stun in the shallow end of a river, a and a swathe of piranhas.
RIP to Mars, Mercury, Io, Venus, Neptune, and Pluto.
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.
Can be carried by an Argie...
Can we talk about the fact that I just saw one of these guys kill and eat a spino of the same level both at full health before the fight 🤔🤔
(I play on mobile) ok so I just started a new ark world and I have a pretty good start, I have a moschops and a few other little dinos, but a baryonyx is super close to my base, should I tame it? Or should I kill it?

Only eats fish? This thing just ate a trike.
