I have played Ark for about five years, and for four years people told me that these guys weren’t worth crap. But one day about a year ago I was playing PvP with my friends and I decided to tame one to see if it really was as bad as people said. I instantly knew they were my new favorite tame and I started breeding; I became the most powerful person on the server.- Allen

When your growing up theses guys they must eat fish meat when they reach adolescence! They will start to starve if they don't get it!!

ok literally my new favorite tame, not only is the bary a powerhouse for fighting and a demon of speed on both land and water, but you can shoot off its back. great caving tame because its slender, fast and powerful and on top of all of this, it’s stamina is good even from the time you tame it. 10/10 good tame (just don’t try and bola it).

Spino + Raptor = Baryonyx. faster than the raptor on land and faster than the spino in water... cool dinosaur

I think these are so underrated.

When I started playing ARK as a solo PVP player I always manage to survive by living hidden in the swamps and having tames and just the natural danger of the swamp for defense rather than relying on turrets. I'll take a swarm of well bred dimorphidons over turrets any day.

Barrys were always by far the most dangerous thing I would encounter in the swamps. A lower level wild tame is reliable. A high level wild tame is nasty but once you can get a well-bred imprinted one they can handle anything. After owning Barrys for years I finally tamed my first Rex to see what the hype was about. I was never really a fan of them due to their size but this was a Max level Tek rex. I couldn't resist. It was cool looking but I was honestly extremely disappointed in its performance. I was talking about this on the server and someone was convinced it was because it wasn't bred and imprinted. They gave me an egg from their rexes that had multiple generations of attack mutations. I fully imprinted it. Was still disappointed. Yes it has higher natural Health than a Barry but thats it. Barry kills way faster. I think it has something to do with the attack speed. Rexs are also big clunky and slow. Barry is an amphibious ATV that's stronger than large tames yet as fast and maneuverable as small tames. Small enough for caves. Can do both dry and aquatic caves. They also heal unbelievably fast while killing fish. You don't need to sit there and force feed them meat forever after they lose a few thousand health.

I've killed both alpha rexs and alpha squid with them. No other creature in the game can do that. People think I'm lying when I tell them this saying that I probably couldn't even kill an alpha carno with one.

I think many players are too obsessed with what streamers or YouTube have told them are the best creatures in the game. Or maybe just too obsessed with stats. Think outside the box. You'll be amazed at how powerful and versatile these are.

Excellent tame for living on a boat due to it's ability to breathe underwater. Will harvest hundreds of raw fish meat whilst defending you from other underwater nasties. My Bary lvl 64, named Ratchet, killed in excess of 35 Megs before meeting his match with a lvl 40 Alpha Meg whilst defending our house boat. A salute to all your hard work old friend, you shall be avenged.

Great for cave runs. Can shoot of the back of them. Stun attack, bite attack, swim great and run great. Remember no need to sprint jump in caves, just walk forward and jump. It has a long jump. Eats fish very important. If you Dino leash it in water with fish can be set to find fish by itself

What does the “C” ability do on my baryonyx

Everything you need to know:

(1) they will dismount you on certain creatures

(2) they can be picked up my argentavis.

(3) they eat raw fish meat

(4) mostly in swamps or shallow areas with fish

Question:

If they eat fish, why do they eat me………

Thanks for reading my tip.

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 🙏🙏🙏
