What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Best taken on from a distance, on a place he can’t reach you, with a bola, or just out of water in general
Whenever encountering Barry Allen throw a bola and you can run away or at least tame it!
Force feeding them fish heals them quick, but is time consuming. If you really want to heal them in just a few seconds, attack fish while riding them, or you can turn on seek fish on low health. They also are arguably the best at harvesting raw fish meat, especially from Megalodons.
It has a pretty low aggro range, maybe the length of 2 and a half trikes? But still, don’t go near this while in the water.
So there was one of these guys near my house, I was worried that it’s gonna attack my house someday. So I decided to tame a few dilos (21 if you must know) and took him out. Man didn’t even get the chance to fight back (I didn’t go in and attack him, I target whistled) (He wasn’t in the water at that time)
Bolas save lives here
Most common method to tame is walking backwards while shooting.
Bola while doing this for a headstart or easier headshots (or both)
This was the first creature I ever then a dodo, and I have to say, once he reached max level I killed alpha rexs, a few mosasaurs and even used it as my main damage dealer for megapithecus, brought a yuty a bunch of deadons and one allosaurus and destroyed gamma and beta, easily my favorite creature in the game.
For the people who are new to this dinosaur
It is knockout tame , to tame them you need raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat
It’s fast in the water and if fully submerged it can do a stun attack on small and medium sized creatures
An easy way to tame and my favorite is make a 2 wide and 4 long STONE trap with 2 high stone doorframes all around with wooden ramps on one side
Simply lure in and it can’t escape.
This is how I tamed my first one and I hope this was helpful, safe tame’s !😊
To the guy who said they only eat fish meat, they can also eat raw meat when they are tamed.
DO NOT try taming in water it will nock you of its mount and kill everything you have it happened to me🤕
As long as you have a good tranq gun, some darts, narcotics, and a bear trap, you are good to go on taming a Bary
A fairly easy tame, you don’t need any special traps or anything - just you and some tranq arrows, recommend for beginners - amazing Dino in the sea and on land! To tame just shoot it ( preferably in the head) so that you get it’s attention and then run away, turn around, shoot it again, and repeat. Doesn’t need too many arrows, and bring a few ( about 5 or less) narcotics, or even just narcoberries, careful as this guy will make you “freeze” if you get close, also it only eats fish meat.
On mobile, an Argy can DEFINITELY pick a Baryonyx up. I’ve tamed like seven by picking it up and putting it in a pen with my Argy :)
These guys are the kings of the seas theres only one thing you should fear jellyfish they need a nerf the stunned my baryonx and knocked me like 40 meters away from him so he died.
