So, I began playing Ark, and happened to build a base right next to where a Baryonyx lived. My friend was gathering things from the other side of the river, and led one right to the base. It had been like a Jaws movie for the next few days. Well, I have formed a plan to get rid of it. Wish me luck!

They love dancing water ballet with you. What a killer twirl.

This has become one of my favorite dinos, in it's class it's excellent as a mount or even spam. There's a stun effect to it's hits. But it should half the weight of fish to be honest. Like to push this to the top. Let people know! WildCard!!?

The baryonyx is great for getting raw fish meat and raw prime fish meat

Honestly this is the Best tame i've ever had.i currently have 3 rex.spino tapejara and argy. But i have to say this this guy is the best dino ark ever made. hands down.mine could outrun a raptor on land.almost megapiranha on water..also this medium shaped dino helped me overcome my fear for caves.whether its artho or titanboa. Due to its high torpor enduring and decent weight and melee damage. Cave huntings were easier for me.. Until i lost him on by mistakely jumping into Lava In LAVA CAVE. Will miss u alot Barry Allen.

TIP:I DONT CARE IF U R ON EARLY OR MID GAME.TAMING THIS BEAST IS A MUST.JUST REMEMBER THEY ONLY EAT FISH SO AFTER KNOCKING HIM OUT GO TO THE NEAREST RIVER TO FETCH SOME FISH MEAT.

~thank you if u have read this much~

When I came across a baryonyx I literally got scared, but after getting an argy or 6 raptors it was not that strong, but it did kill 2 of my raptors before R.I.P Flash and Beta 😢😢😢.

Baryonyxes are the ultimate caving creature I’ve recently done every cave on the island with my level 106

These animals do wonderfully for caving expeditions! They especially work nicely in undersea caves as well. All you gotta do is pump into health and melee, find a high level Bary and you’re golden. Imprinted ones are a nice bonus but the one I use was wild caught at lv. 145. Just finished the cave containing the Artifact of the Clever with my Baryonyx, Greenbeard. He slew many bats and spiders. He is my indispensable caving mount and made it a breeze. Plus if you fall into water, that tail spin makes short work of most aquatic critters. Please, Wildcard, never nerf this tame. 100/10, a wonderful and good boi for any survivor to have.

Seems as of the new TLC you can no longer pick them up with an Argentavis and they seem to be larger.

They don’t eat RAW MEAT they only eat fish

Hmm it says you can’t bola this dude…*stares at the 140 red baryonyx I bola’d*

BOLAS WORK ON MOBILE! Hope others see this

Mostly found throughout all the rivers on the island. Not found on Scorched Earth.

YOU CANNOT PICK THEM UP WITH ARGIES, I tried and ended up getting dismounted due to touching water and nearly got killed. Lure them onto land and either trap them or go ontop of a rock ad they are insanely fast. Starve them down and feed fish meat.

89 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 23, 2020   Report

Extremely useful, find them near almost any river bank. Lure them out of the water (do NOT try to fight them in the water, you will 100% die) and bola them. Then either knock them out with a few hits or hit it with a tranq arrow. We use them as protection when traveling, and they have takes out everything from a pack of raptors to a therinosaurus to carnos.

1: Do not fight them in water under any circumstances

2: Lure them on to land

3: Use a bola

4: Attempt to Tranquilse with bow and arrow or better

Remember: They can only be tamed with fish meat and they usually kill all the fish in the area so you should probably have some prepared beforehand.

For Mobile users, the Barry CAN be picked up by the Argi.
