This animal is a fantastic mount in caves; if its health is low, it can regain it extremely quickly by entering the water and killing some fish. It only eats fish meat, can live underwater, and fits into most caves.

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

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.

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

Here’s how to tame a bary

Step 1 get raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat

Step 2 get a cross bow or a bow (I used a cross bow )

Step 3 find a bary and get on high ground so it doesn’t get you (you can build a trap but I just did the high ground)

Step 4 knock it out

Step 5 put the raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat in its inventory

Step 6 wait till it tames

Now you have a bary I hope this helps:)

BOLAS WORK ON MOBILE! Hope others see this

Waited hours for a baryonyx to heal up then remembered a tip that killing fish heals them up fast!

Baryonyx, despite their raptorlike legs, cannot be bola’d. Don’t learn this the hard way.

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

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.

Argies can carry it on mobile arrow to the sky to let people know

BOLA no longer immobilizes. I feel their size has been also change visually seems larger.

I just did my first dungeon and got Baryonyx and Mammoth implants which one should I Tame? up for Baryonyx down for Mammoth 5 votes decide.

Praise to Barry (Who was killed by a meg while 1v5 ing defending me ). This man was fast and agile enough to take me around the map, and I got a good health one so it could tank while I tranqed from it's back or ran. I got the entire border of the map on this man. There a pretty easy tame too just fill it with tranq arrows and they EAT FISH BTW.

Like for Barry may he rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏

Like the quetz... a Baryonyx cannot swim up and down but only at an angle 👍 Don’t make the same mistake I did and go to the bottom of the sea looking for basilo’s without scuba gear 😔 #drowned

Newer update than tips section.

Baryonyx can no longer be carried by Argentavis. Quetzal or above is needed to carry him. Baryonyx drag weight has been increased.

I wasted my time, don't waste yours!

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

Great mount for the swamp. Riding in 1st person is just below the tree line. It's tall enough to avoid some kaprosuchus leaps. It has a high torpor to survive the snakes/frogs. Eating raw fish helps it heal super fast. It has a good sprint speed, can jump and can swim. My new favorite mount

Significantly better than a raptor or carno.PLUS this thing can swim and its very VERY useful, and can be a great help in the first cave you have to explore in the south.(forgot the name of the cave)

1. Find a Baryonyx

2. Climb on a rock

3. Shoot it with tranq arrows

4. Feed it fish me

5. You have a Baryonyx
