ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

When I first Encountered I assume it was dangerous Because I observe it and this dino killed two trikes
So I wanted to tame it bc i heard it was worth it.
So I took my crossbow and a some tranq arrows, went to a high cliff where it wont kill me. Just where I had my sights on it. A F***ING Carbo (Those turtles walked over me and push me off to the water right next to the baroynx.
You may think its the end of me. But no, the dino hit me but I didnt stun me (I think). I hit the beast with my tranq crossbow below its belly so the it cant bite me. And I made it unconcious from just two shots to say the least I was lucky from that and you may too as well. I survived this in underwater and took down the dino and now its tamed and I called it "The Baron" because its name sounds "Baryon"yx.
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 couldnβt 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 jokeπππ I canβt 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 π€π€
(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?
-Shade the raptor
Only eats fish? This thing just ate a trike.
