What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This thing is crazy do not let your small dinos fight it rip bob
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.
One is surrounding my area where I tame parasaurs, trikes, carbonemyses, diliphosauruses, igunadons, and pteranodons. My plane is to bola it, then kill or tame it. The baryonyx is near water.. should I do this.. I could lose my dinosaur(s). I’m scared
Traps are great for taming high leveled ones too
The baryonyx is a very useful tame to have. They are fast on foot and in water, and have decent damage and health. A unique ability the baryonyx has is tail spin attack. It can only be done in water and it stuns any creature that is in its range, letting the baryonyx do a decent amount of damage without taking any. This makes them a viable as a creature for the underwater caves. Their speed on land, medium size and their long jumping makes them an amazing creature for caves on land as well.
WARNING: wild baryonyx can also do the spin attack in the water and can also dismount you from your tame and stun you even if you have a baryonyx yourself, so be careful.
I finally knocked this bad boy then a stupid freaking raptor! (My raptor) thought it was still alive and killed it then gather the rest of it :(
Very nice tame to have around. In the water they have a stun strike and are excellent runners, swimmers, and jumpers. They have strong attacks and can hit enemies at the right angle to where you are never hit until it’s dead. Easy tame as well, just bow and trap arrows pack a few cause sometime they will run before falling unconscious. You can find them in swamps and beaches walking the shore.
Like so everyone can see
You can pick it up with an Argy--doesn't make sense, but it makes taming a breeze.
Do not get in the water with one of these guys they will kill you if you are at starter level I never have had one but would love to hope this helps anyone
Trapless Taming Method
⚠️This is what I do and this method may not work for everyone. ⚠️
I take a high-health take (think a turtle or something) that allows weapon use on the mount. Let the Baryonyx attack your tame while you shoot it with tranq arrows/darts. MAKE SURE THIS IS ON LAND! If you are in the water, the Bary WILL knock you off your mount and stun you. They will flee after enough hits but they'll be knocked out after fleeing for a little. Good luck survivors! (I used this method on a lvl. 100 female, I named her Lilypad).
Everything you need to know about Baryonyx (reissue)
They don’t have an O2 stat
They have a tail spin stun lock attack when the Baryonyx is swimming
They can be picked up by a Wyvern,Quetzal,Karkinos,and Tusoteuthis
They are on every map except Scorched Earth
Do not confuse with an iguanodon from a distance and come running, or worse, swimming, at it to kill it. Just don't.
How to tame one of these cuties!
1. Find a decent rock you can get on but the bary cant (or make a stone trap?)
2. Bola it
3. Shoot tranq arrows or tranq darts at its face
4. Once KO’d, feed it preferably kibble since that will take the least amount of time but if you want you can also use fish meat
5. Tadah! You got yourself an amazing midgame dino, use it for caves if a decent level and exploring. Don’t underestimate them!
:)
These can stun your quetz when trying to pick them out of the water.
