At least what I’ve found, Baryonyx CAN be carried by the Argy in OLD ark mobile :D (this is because of a drag weight update around 2024/2025 that newer versions like ASA was changed to not be carried by a Argy, but since old mobile is based on pc/console BEFORE said update, hope this helps, if anyone else still plays old mobile :l)

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

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.

When I first tamed a Baryonyx I found it very helpful to build a trap with a bait dinosaur inside (something like a low level para). Once you get out of the way, it will aggro to the bait and run into the trap. I tranq’d it before the para died, which was impressive because the para was lvl 10.

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).

A top 10 choice if i could only use 1 dino for my entire playthrough. Here are the ups and downs.

Ups:

*Spino on water

*Allosaurus on land

*Fits in almost all caves(e.g not fitting skylord cave on the island)

*Has a stun ability you can spam and works with creatures like megalodons too

Downs:

*The stats are great for caves,not that good to bring in boss fights unless they are very good leveled.

*Since you dont stay in its back after dismounting stuff like purlovia which are real threats in caves are still threats (ty for reading❤️l

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!

:)

I tamed mine when I first unlocked my tranq arrows.

Note :- 1) Tame a level 6 or 7 when you

are in low level.

2) They are Piscivorous so they

only eat fish meat.

3) Mostly found in swamps but

sometimes they do spawn in the

southern islets.

4) The things you need to level up

are Stamina,Melee damage and

health.
