So i was doing a pursuit and there was a baryonyx in the water. So i just stood there and hoped it didnt come over to me then it went over to the other side away from me. I was like “nice alright now i can continue my pursuit.” I finished the pursuit and didnt see the bary a few minutes later i see something in the water, i thought it was a green iguanodon but it was a green baryonyx. (the first baryonyx was red) i got on a rock and stood there it came out of the water and was pretty close to my creatures. I used my slingshot to shoot some rocks at it it came at me and tried to get me i told my creatures to attack him after i whistled he ran and my pack of 7 dilos killed it it didnt even attack (i dont know if it did tbh). yeah that was basically what just happened and i wanted to tell it to u teehee (btw that was my first time killing a bary) :))))))))

Baryonyx’s are awesome!

Their mutations are prob one of the best, I had one named Grass and she could take on an Alpha Rex in the water Solo.

She’s gone now :(

R.I.P Grass, our hero

When I was a noobie in Ark I saw this guy. Like the therizinosaur incident with me thinking this guy is passive I walked up to him while he was busy dealing three raptors. He slew the raptors easily then he drew his attention to me. I was like “Hello there” and he was like “Omae wa, mou shindeiru.” He stunned and easily killed me. Lesson learned. Don’t ever, ever go near creatures dealing with other hostiles. You might save your character by doing this.

Story of pain: My brother and I were going to go into the caves of the ark bcs we were preparing to fight the broodmother. We went out to find a high level baryonyx, we found the central swamp too risky as it’s close to the redwoods which is plentiful in alpha carnos and rexes ready to screw us over, so we went to the far eastern swamp, which I mind you is ACROSS THE MAP FROM OUR BASE as our base is at that waterfall by red obelisk. We flew with our argies across the entire map, encountering very fun things such as a high level rhynio, landing right next to a Rex after running out of stamina, and more fun things. Once we got there, we searched for a while and found a 145 bary, near perfect. After I lured it out of the swamp, I knocked it out and tamed it, that’s it, right? Well this was before cryopods were added back in ascended and ofc argies couldn’t pick up barys, I swam around the entire map with it. Nearly an hour of torment. Worth it though.

Under the waves: chapter 4

(Thanks for the support!)

Pearl was pulled to the back of the largest raft, and they hooked the net onto it before they started heading for land. She could hear the humans yelling and cheering at their success in capturing her. Smug little things. Eventually they calmed down, then, as they were headed to a shore, she saw something pass the raft underwater. She peered at it, trying to get a better look, but it had disappeared again. Before pearl knew it, it was getting dark. The humans seem to be afraid of the dark, so they park the rafts at a nearby island, eventually, with nothing else to do, pearl fell asleep.

“Psst!” Pearl jumped awake, startled. She looked around, but she didn’t see anyone. Was she hallucinating? At least the humans were still asleep. “Hey!” The voice whispered again. More agitated than anything, pearl submerged again, trying to fall back asleep. Then a sharp nip on her fin. Pearl whirled around, baring her teeth. And, staring right at her, was another plesiosaur.

The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 37: The Golden Egg

“Hyahh!”

Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!

Bobby let out a battle cry as he smashed his pickaxe into the glittering rock. He and Simon were currently toiling out near some strange cave, smashing away at rocks that were filled with pockets of raw metal. They thought it would be useful for future projects for the Book Club.

“Whew, that was some nice work,” Simon noted, wiping sweat from his brow. A comically large backpack slung over his shoulders. Pieces of raw metal poked out from the top. Bobby took the last few remaining pieces of metal and stuffed them into Simon’s backpack.

“Okay, I think that’s plenty. Now let’s head home. It’s already night, we don’t want to run into any more of those orange eyed things,” Bobby said.

“I couldn’t agree with you more,” Simon replied. He tugged on the straps of his backpack and began to walk off back to camp. As Bobby followed though, he turned around for a quick moment, staring at the small, looming crack in the hill that led to the cavern. Bobby could feel dizzy and hot just staring at the opening.

“Who would want to go in there?” Bobby thought, shaking his head in disapproval. He followed Simon back to camp.

Somewhere in the darkness, along the riverbed, something golden glitters.

So when Bobby and Simon were heading back to camp, the two immediately noticed it laying in the sand. A small egg made of pure gold. The two gasped in awe, and Bobby leaned forward to pick it up.

“Nghhhh!” Bobby groaned. The egg seemed to be too heavy, “It’s so heavy!”

Simon patted Bobby on the shoulder, before picking it up with his index finger and thumb. He pocketed it, and gave Bobby a wink and a grin.

“Don’t worry ‘bout it. I can always take care of anything too heavy, you know that,” Simon reminded him. Bobby stared at the golden egg with delight, licking his lips furiously.

“Man, you think we can eat it? I bet it’d taste SO delicious!” Bobby groveled.

“Are you crazy?” Simon sneered, “We shall not! Do you, by chance, know the tale of the Golden Egg?”

“Uh. No. Why, is it important? Does this thing exist IN REAL LIFE?!” Bobby shouted with unwavering anticipation.

“No, it doesn’t. But basically, a farmer discovered his chicken could lay golden eggs. But he grew impatient with how slow it was at laying eggs, so he killed it, but discovered there was nothing inside. Now he had no more golden eggs to make,” Simon explained thoroughly, “We can’t just eat it now. It may serve some use later down the line.”

“Okay, OKAY, I get it,” Bobby replied with a sigh, “Let’s go home then. I bet Skyler and her team will be back by now.”

“Yeah, I bet. I wonder how it went, they probably found what they were looking for, AND their five heroes!” Simon said ecstatically, walking down the sands, “I can’t wait for what happens next!"

I LOVE baryonx’s so I tame a bunch (Mind u I’m on mobile)and I play on a server a own too many baryonxs they called me “the Barry lord”

My best one was fish stick a lvl 74 BEAST he could take out any Dino any terrain any cave everyone on the server knew fish sticks if anyone was in danger they would call me and I would hop on fish stick and go lend a hand. But one day someone asked for help and said they were new and was being chased by a Rex and I went to go help but turns out it was a trap they were fully geared and on a Rex turns out it was the enemy tribes leader and so I fought with fish sticks but that Rex was too strong so we fled but then we got cornered by the enemy tribes tribe mate and I accidentally dismounted and I shot him with my shot gun but I missed and he hit me back and then fish sticks charged in on already low health I had no choice but to run and try and get backup but when I can back it was too late. Fish sticks corpse was on the ground and the enemy was gone. I swore I would find them blow there base up kill all there Dino’s in honed of fish sticks. When I got home I made a grave for him with his saddle in a chest and some raw prime fish meat. I then put a funeral for him everyone on the server came.

R.I.P Fish sticks.

Tames. We love them you need them throughout your journey through the ark but they eventually die….

But I did forget I left one of my other Barry’s on mating with fish sticks!

Then came an amazing mutated Barry! I named him fish sticks jr to carry on his fathers great legacy!

At the time, I was an intermediate player, but I was considered pro thanks to Barry, my Baryonyx. One day me and my raptor, red alpha, went to the swamp. Red Alpha died the second I turned around. I dismounted as I wanted to fight them with my gun, but I was too low. I retreated, and Barry stayed. He fend them off, and I got far away… but … he did this taking his own life, Barry was the only tame who was that loyal. Rest In Peace, Barry, I miss you!
