WARNING They only eat fish meat. When hactching, be ready with multiple fridges of fish meat. Raw is fine the first couple of hours because they are RAVENOUS and it wont have time to spoil

These guys are the absolute best! I tamed a max lvl 150 baryonyx and bred it with my lvl 152 baryonyx and got an OP, 78% imprinted baryonyx. Her name is Moon. As of right now she is lvl 234, with 8,500 hp, 700% melee damage, and 135 movement speed. She can obliterate almost any Dino on land and sea, including rexes and spinos. Also, if you get a high level, you get of added stats per level up, and they level up insanely fast. They are the absolute BEST cave mount IMO (except for the Northwest cave, otherwise known as the cave of the sky lord, because it can not fit in the entrance, like all other cave mounts), because their long neck allows you to reach the flying dangers of the cave and it protects you from the arthroplura’s spit balls. That combined with their attack speed and amazing damage output makes it my favorite cave mount. Just watch out in the lava cave, because you can easily get pushed off into the lava or fall in the lava due to a bad jump. I am about to try out the cave of the strong, but I have no doubt in my mind that I will demolish it. It has one attack on land, which is his bite attack, along with an option to make it roar, but like the spino’s roar this does nothing. On water they have their bite attack and a tail spin that stuns nearby dinos(use button that you use to jump on land to use tail spin). On top of that, they can jump, which makes it a good travel mount, and once again, an amazing cave mount. This and the spino are my two favorite dinos as of right now, and if you are debating about getting one of these, GET ONE RIGHT NOW.

Sorry for the long rant

I would argue that this dinosaur is the strongest mount that can fight on both land and in the water. I had one that was bred multiple generations, full imprint, purple saddle. I named him Fury to represent all of the anguish I experienced leading up to his creation. He was able to handle anything I threw at him with ease. People were surprised to hear that I was easily able to kill both squids and alpha carnos with him. Never got to attempt an alpha Rex. He met his match when I attempted an alpha squid. RIP Fury.

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.

Baryonyx are quick like Allosaurus and do just as much damage (but don't get a pack bonus). They don't use oxygen for swimming and can sprint in the water. Right click in the water does an AoE stun that lasts about 10 sec. Their 'C' is a... Taunt? They also jump and you can fire a weapon from their back.

At least what I’ve found, Baryonyx CAN be carried by the Argy in OLD ark mobile :D (this is because of a drag weight update around 2024/2025 that newer versions like ASA was changed to not be carried by a Argy, but since old mobile is based on pc/console BEFORE said update, hope this helps, if anyone else still plays old mobile :l)

Can be carried by an Argie...

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

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.

Baryonyx is king of the seas! Tame with Pachyrhinosaurus kibble and use them to help you tame basilosaurus as they can stun all the Manta that follow!

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 🤔🤔

Better than the megalodon in my opinion.the stun is really powerful.

Night and day difference when you use this thing in the water. The stun attack can immobilize EVERYTHING. I use my bary, whose name is Tiny, to traverse the island quickly, as it’s faster than most things out there, and can get across water without a second thought. Tiny is very powerful, and has protected me from various threats and has also stood in place when my icthy and sarco died. I also used Tiny for the only cave I’ve completed. Probably why I’m not scared of arthropluera yet😂 up for Tiny!

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

We are secretly fish

🚨 Can be picked up by Argy on mobile 🚨

These dinos like the water so look by the rivers! They are good swimmers and if you live near beaver dams an easy saddle to make!

Make sure that you tame baryonx with fish meat because if you give it raw meat from dodo or any ground creature it will not work

Bola no longer work. Found this out after throwing 4 at one. Let people know, it will save countless lives and bolas.

Here is a easy trap for it put 4 stone foundations in a square and seround the square by placing doorframes

Then put wals on top of the doorframes an put ramps to the side shoot the baryonyx run in the trap and go out the baryonyx is trapt knok it out Give it and give it fish

This also works with Raptors and carno’s

If you want to trap spino, Rex and allo Make it bigger with 9 foundations

Only eats fish? This thing just ate a trike.
