Absolute must have game for beginners like me. One killed my para, so I reloaded the save and headed over with some tranq arrows and fish meat. Perched on a rock and he was out fast. Starve tamed and it was pretty easy. Only difficulty was keeping the dilos away. Afterwards I was thinking it’d be just another average beginner tame- but it wasnt. Toxin, my bary, is a real trooper. I once took our houseboat into the swamps, just messin around. He took out three sarcos and another bary. Later took on a meg and three mantas at once. Seriously, best thing ever.

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.

Thinking of breeding these guys into the ultimate cave running monster, for however long I've played ark now is the only time I've really focused on this guy. Tamed a level 120 one plus the taming bonus up to 140, used entry dexes to level it up faster now at level 160, after killing 3 alpha megalodons by just stun locking them and killing em slowly then leveled up it's attack and health before focusing on speed.

Baryonyx eat fish, so feed them raw fish when you knock them out, but I think they eat raw prime fish too, because other fish-eating knockout takes I’ve tamed eat fish too. They are very fast and swim like speed boats that got hyped, and they are small enough to fight through small entrances. But luckily they are strong so they can fight and bite lots of big ol’ dinos (absolutely massive ones not included). Baryonyx good, man. They also have an option to toggle “seek fish on low health”. To me that sounds like the cyborgs??? Keep it up ARK, ur doing great!!!

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.

Very useful creature, I knocked out three argies a Rex, and an archaeopteryx while on its back on the mountains by the redwoods, I also killed a Rex with it (it is only level 38) and 15-20 raptors and sabertoothes within probably 5-10 minutes. If you are wondering why I knocked out three argies read my depressing tips under newest, Argentavis. My Baryonx is my best tame on this profile. FYI if you want to tame a Rex make sure you kill any Dino’s it aggros first. A deodicoris (I know I misspelled it) killed my knocked out Rex.
