Tips & Strategies

What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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)
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.
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?
Fun fact: Baryonyx isn’t the only Dino related to spinosaurus. Two others include suchomimus from Africa and another(forgot the name😬) found in China.
This boy can challenge with T. Rex no lie
You can carry it with argentavis up id you think it is helpful
I was swimming in the river trying to find/tame an otter and than suddenly a baryonyx spin attack me and i cant do anything cuz i got stun it litterally spamed his spin attack at me and i died hope you guys be carefull cuz baryonyx can spam spin attack and the spin attack can stun you
2 things.
NEVER fight this eel with legs in the water. It is a straight up death sentence!
But, if you desperately want to, take a tame you don’t care about, because trust me, IT WILL DIE.
(If it has 10k health or above, and it’s a shallow river, it MIGHT have a chance)
When taming these guys I recommend a longneck but you can tame with a crossbow. Remember count to five after every shot so the torpor can really sink in. By the way their food drains really fast so taming them will be easy Peasy. The only hard part is that they spawn in the swamp.

Cannot use a bola anymore so either use a stone trap or a bear trap and put ~10 tranq arrows into their skull
I tamed one very easily near my base i had to kill a rex near it but mainly im saying this to let you know 1: Its fairly easy to knock out/tame 2: its torpo goes down slow so you probaly wont need any narcotics but still bring some in case and 3: its an amazing dino for cave of the south in my opinion its just like my raptor by better by x2 lastly 4: **THIS GOES FOR ALL DINO YOU TAME kill any other dinos that might hit your tame or else it will mess up the tame** Thanks for reading my tip byee!!-
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.)
You just need a bola and about 10 tranq arrows to tame a low level one!
Having a hard time finding a high level , highest I’ve found is 60 on my solo play through. Spent days trying to find 100 plus but when I do it will be a great day. Love these guys.
