Tips & Strategies

Me (lvl 20 something) and my raptor (lvl 40) encountered a baryonyx (lvl 5) I saw it quite often ( although a fair distance from my base) so decided to attempt to tame it, it was in the water so I went in to take a look, next thing I know, it was charging towards me, I tried climbing onto my raptor but was stunned and I died, I spawned back at base and assumed my raptor would die, I ran back to get my stuff and there, in the water, was my raptor, alive, I quickly got my stuff and climbed on his back and ran off, what a legend. I am now sat here waiting for that baryonyx to finish taming! What an eventful day! And Ofc he will be called Barry π

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.
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?

Only eats fish? This thing just ate a trike.
2 Baryonyx died during the aquatic war at solo player. One was killed by a Baryonyx while the dead bodies of Megapirhana, 2 Kaprosuchus, and 1 Sarcosuchus float around. The other one was killed by another Baryonyx stunning my Baryonyx in the water and then adding some extras by attracting 3 Cnidaria. A memory that remains in my head.
*0 remain.
Itβs too sad. π π’
1 like = 1 Baryonyx remains.
