ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Probably one of the best general use non flyer mounts in the game. Fast land and water speed, quick stamina regen, good health, decent damage. Small enough to use in some caves like the southern cave. Absolute terror in the water and it has no oxygen meter. Very easy to tame and can be found in the swamp or around some rivers. High maneuverability on land and in water.
Get yourself one.

When your growing up theses guys they must eat fish meat when they reach adolescence! They will start to starve if they don't get it!!
Praise to Barry (Who was killed by a meg while 1v5 ing defending me ). This man was fast and agile enough to take me around the map, and I got a good health one so it could tank while I tranqed from it's back or ran. I got the entire border of the map on this man. There a pretty easy tame too just fill it with tranq arrows and they EAT FISH BTW.
Like for Barry may he rest in peace πππ
Spino + Raptor = Baryonyx. faster than the raptor on land and faster than the spino in water... cool dinosaur
I think these are so underrated.
When I started playing ARK as a solo PVP player I always manage to survive by living hidden in the swamps and having tames and just the natural danger of the swamp for defense rather than relying on turrets. I'll take a swarm of well bred dimorphidons over turrets any day.
Barrys were always by far the most dangerous thing I would encounter in the swamps. A lower level wild tame is reliable. A high level wild tame is nasty but once you can get a well-bred imprinted one they can handle anything. After owning Barrys for years I finally tamed my first Rex to see what the hype was about. I was never really a fan of them due to their size but this was a Max level Tek rex. I couldn't resist. It was cool looking but I was honestly extremely disappointed in its performance. I was talking about this on the server and someone was convinced it was because it wasn't bred and imprinted. They gave me an egg from their rexes that had multiple generations of attack mutations. I fully imprinted it. Was still disappointed. Yes it has higher natural Health than a Barry but thats it. Barry kills way faster. I think it has something to do with the attack speed. Rexs are also big clunky and slow. Barry is an amphibious ATV that's stronger than large tames yet as fast and maneuverable as small tames. Small enough for caves. Can do both dry and aquatic caves. They also heal unbelievably fast while killing fish. You don't need to sit there and force feed them meat forever after they lose a few thousand health.
I've killed both alpha rexs and alpha squid with them. No other creature in the game can do that. People think I'm lying when I tell them this saying that I probably couldn't even kill an alpha carno with one.
I think many players are too obsessed with what streamers or YouTube have told them are the best creatures in the game. Or maybe just too obsessed with stats. Think outside the box. You'll be amazed at how powerful and versatile these are.
The best tame for early game, it has pretty high health, great damage, itβs fast, and it can stun a ton of creatures(in water). I personally think itβs a good caving/exploring creature due to its speed and high damage.

Excellent tame for living on a boat due to it's ability to breathe underwater. Will harvest hundreds of raw fish meat whilst defending you from other underwater nasties. My Bary lvl 64, named Ratchet, killed in excess of 35 Megs before meeting his match with a lvl 40 Alpha Meg whilst defending our house boat. A salute to all your hard work old friend, you shall be avenged.
Everything you need to know:
(1) they will dismount you on certain creatures
(2) they can be picked up my argentavis.
(3) they eat raw fish meat
(4) mostly in swamps or shallow areas with fish
Question:
If they eat fish, why do they eat meβ¦β¦β¦
Thanks for reading my tip.
Iβve been playing ark for a bit but Iβm not too good. I was a coward but when I tamed a baryonyx and took it to a swamp man Iβm ready to take on a giga.
Baryonyxes are the ultimate caving creature Iβve recently done every cave on the island with my level 106
Very useful creature, I knocked out three argies a Rex, and an archaeopteryx while on its back on the mountains by the redwoods, I also killed a Rex with it (it is only level 38) and 15-20 raptors and sabertoothes within probably 5-10 minutes. If you are wondering why I knocked out three argies read my depressing tips under newest, Argentavis. My Baryonx is my best tame on this profile. FYI if you want to tame a Rex make sure you kill any Dinoβs it aggros first. A deodicoris (I know I misspelled it) killed my knocked out Rex.
