Great mount to get to and from hidden sea cave bases, they have enough health and the stun ability to fend of hungry megalodons, fast enough to get away from the nastier stuff like mosas and plesis if levelled a bit, no oxygen(idunno maybe they have gills or something), can get their favourite food source on the journey(fish), they also have decent health and damage, good tame if you like an aquatic lifestyle also equally good if you're just going down into the sea for resources.

These odd-looking little beasts are in fact fearsome sharkysaurs

This isn’t really a tip but one was camping in the water when I was level 5 and it 1 shot me next time I come level 8 still one shot me next time I come theres 2 so I don’t go over to them cuz I’ve learned that they 1 shot me next time I come lvl 11 or something there’s none but there’s one next to my base in the water I might tame it I’m lvl 16 or 17 now

These are what I use to gather fish meat, which is useful since they, amongst other things such as otters, only eat fish meat. It’s a must have when breeding them and other fish eating dinos. Simply swim off shore, stun any megs/mantas, eat them as they sit there helplessly, rinse and repeat.

Almost every caves, strong creatures can't follow with you. Even some caves need to go underwater to get useful resorces or trophy and dossier and again, most creatures that you are familiar usually are not good at diving and swiming. If they are good at diving and swiming, they are too weak to travel caves and underwater's creatures.

But after baryonyx released, no worries. It will keep your safe and help combat from almost every normal cave's creatures(high lvl megalosaurus will tough at night times, but it is weak at day times and still your bary can tanking few sec if you spend points on health for most.), even it can dive into the water endlessly if you have preparation about oxygen, coldness or scuba and still it will help help your combat from underwater's creatures.

It was so easy for me to tame one of these things!

Here is how:

You will need:wooden doorframes(4), wooden foundation, wooden ramp, fish, narcotics (if needed), and fish meat, bow/crossbow/longneck/slingshot, tranq ammo/rocks.

Make a trap by placing wooden doorframe on all side on a wooden foundation. Then add a wood ramp in the direction pointing to it. Fire at will, when you hit it, wait for it to be close and run through the trap. Now that it is trapped, knock it out with what you brought with you. Next, shove fish meat down its throat and narcos if needed. Bipity bopping boom! Enjoy your baryonyx but do not let it destroy other dangerous creatures if low leveled. WAIT UNTIL IT IS A HIGH LEVEL 20 AND ABOVE. Your friend, Sully 🦀
