Tips & Strategies

What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys are pretty common around swamps, and sometimes you will find one along a beach. To tame them just make a 1x2 trap. I’ll list the items that I used; 2 wooden foundations (wood is just the minimum, I recommend stone.), 6 wood door frames, and a wooden ramp (this is just for the trap). You will need around 1 tranq arrow per level, or one tranq dart per 5 lvls (Make sure to shoot their head with tranq darts). Depending on the level and taming effectiveness, the amount of narcotics and food needed may vary. I would just bring however much food/narcotics you feel comfortable with bringing ( I would recommend raw prime fish meat, but if you have a lot of narcos you can use normal fish meat).
Thanks for reading, even though it’s pretty long. If I get 25 ups I will make a kapro taming guide!

Don’t get in the water with these crazy mofos They will stun a lv 200 killed my lv 199 tree in a river
Don't try to grab a wild one out of the water...
1. Bola or put down a bear trap and get it stuck
2. Put 4 fence foundations down and then 4 doorways or walls around the Barry
3. Shoot it full or tranq darts (in the head with a crossbow and arrows works good if you don’t have a gun and darts)
It worked for me and a lvl 280 Barry hope this helps!
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
They didn’t update it yet but yes bolas affect the bary, even if it doesn’t say it. You basically have to have it run at you and you’ll be good.
It can also outrun you on land unless you have a lot of points pumped into movement speed.
Baryonyx are not that hard to tame. You can tame it in the Early game for a good travel mount in water and land,it’s also good for getting artifacts.now if you want to tame a Baryonyx your going to need fish or kibble,meat will not work.you don’t really need a longneck rifle, even though it would probably work faster if your looking to get your first artifact then you probably won’t want to wait until the like the mid game to get a Baryonyx.After finding the one you want,make a trap or have a pretty fast mount because Baryonyx’s are very fast. you could also find high ground and if it’s near water i’m pretty sure we all know we should NOT go in the water. after it’s knocked out give it your food of Choice and that’s a Baryonyx for ya.
If you are playing ark mobile or switch the bary did not get his change and you can still pick it up whit an argy and bola it

To the people who say bola does not work ,I tested it and it works on mobile
YOU CAN NOT TRAP THEM WITH SMALL BEAR TRAPS
To all the people saying climb on a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows let me tell you all you need is bola and some tranqs. Then you should be all set.
Bringing a simple raft cage to the swamp should allow you to easily trap and transport this guy to an appropriate area to knockout and tame.
For some reason (bug?) you can’t be damaged while driving the raft, even when this guy is standing on top of you! (PC)
Trapping these guys isn't a difficult process. If you don't have the time or resources to make a full trap, just put down one or two bear traps, space them a little bit apart, and get behind them, then aggro the baryonyx you want. It'll run onto them and get stuck, then just take them down! (I have a Mastercraft bow I found in a drop, so only about four or five tranq arrows did the trick.)
so uhhh somehow the baryonyx in mobile can still be immobilized by bolas but the bolas are not visible in the baryonyx legs (yes you can no longer bola a baryonyx and cannot be picked up by an argy/argentavis)
My new Sarco died to one of these,why must they be so territorial?
They can still be completely wrecked by the giany squid. Watch yourself, as they are not truly the king of the seas like everyone would have you believe.
