It is like the pelagornis it only eats fish meat when tamed
Baryonyx
The Baryonyx is a large crocodile-like predator. While it might lack in attack power, its ability to swim extremtly fast makes it a fierce opponent — especially with its ability to travel on both land and in water.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Fast tame pachyrhino kibble 13 for 125 and a 130 prime fish meat and citronal for kibble
I went to tame this guy with raw fish meat and saw it was a low level and I used god console to give it some levels and it instantly tamed it? 😂
best water caving mount by far! Stun is 👌
A basic bred one is pretty useful for artifact caves! Strong, fast, and tall enough to keep ypu out of trouble. Need to keep topping its health off with fish though.
Very useful for caves underwater and outside of water on land in those caves as well
When you see it, the only thing you must do... is run!
When encouraging these be careful because they can knock you off you're mount underwater and put you in a spin lock where the continuously paralyzing you're character
These guys are great on the island if your trying to get your first oil rocks from some of the rivers and near shore ocean bits. They only eat fish meat and kibble, they are larger raptors but they can’t be bolad, their size is like medium large.
Mostly in the swamps, but can be found along the beaches in Southern Isles
When Encountering A Baryonx, They Are Incredibly Fast. So It's Best To Knock It Out From Afar.
Until you tame a Rock Golem or Tusoteuthis, this is your best method of killing the Eurypterids at viking bay.
It is really good at caving so if you plan on going to a cave you should tame this creature.
Best mount for caves. They are fast on water AND land, get buffed healing from fish, and can do a ton of damage if bred/imprinted. Simple baby of a high health female and high melee male allowed me to take on all caves except snow caves (skylord and strong)
These things CAN be picked up by Argentavis. At least on mobile, i was experimenting with mu Argy cause i just got her a saddle and i was able to pick up a Baryonyx on her.
-Pepsi
these guys can be bolaed by hand in ark mobile
Sometimes they spawn on the south coast of The Island in that lagoon or on that tiny island with the rock formation near the beavers. Stay on guard! Worrying about Sarcos and the occasional raptor is bad enough.
Every time I try to tame one of these, something Argos my dinos and they kill everything around them 😂
If you happen to play on iPad it is possible to bola one.Rember the only eat fish and some kibble I personally use raw fish meat because there is a ocean near south swamp 3 .Baryonyxs are very good pets I highly recommend them
I used mine, Onyx, to finish The cave in the south and get the artifact of the hunter. I know you're probably scared for your baryonyx to die, but don't worry. Onyx had around 2094 Hp or something. When it gets tranqulized, just wait until it's at 0.0 torpor. It…
I used mine, Onyx, to finish The cave in the south and get the artifact of the hunter. I know you're probably scared for your baryonyx to die, but don't worry. Onyx had around 2094 Hp or something. When it gets tranqulized, just wait until it's at 0.0 torpor. It takes awhile, but at least your baryonyx doesn't die. Because they can't fit in the artifact room, go in with a metal hatchet, and kill the creatures in there, get the artifact, and pass out. If you do, be close to your baryonyx, it can protect you. Baryonyxs can jump fairly high, and get your artifact back safely. I tributed mine, and got a mastercraft metal pick blueprint, soothing balm, and a primitive fishing rod. HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO USE IN CAVES!
