Be careful when you or a baryonx is in water because they can kick you with their tail and stun you.

If your level 8 and see one, go to water far away from him, get lots and I mean LOTS of fish meat. Next, go to him, say hello, bo,a him, and use a club to just make him fall to the groud, and then, you just give him the meat, and wait. While your waiting, grab some narcoberries, and feed them to him. Next, wait. Then, BOOM. You just got a baryonyx. You're welcome!

If your not level 90+ don’t even try to run

It is big smart and powerful so if you see one in the water do not go in the water if that answers your questions!!!!!!!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear this thing attacks me anywhere and anytime near my base and near the swamp. Then I find out it eats fish. Like ok why you eat me then. Carno makes sense, spino makes sense, raptor makes sense, BARYONYX MAKE NO SENSE TO EAT ME!

My spino killed one pretty easily, just use strong carnivorous tame to kill

If you’re gonna fight or tame one of these guys stay clear of the water especially, you’ll most likely get stun locked and lose you items and tame

Soooooo he’s out side my base and I have an m16

Me: bonjour

So when I was on my argy I accidentally fell of it and a Gary came out of nowhere but luckily a low level one. It almost gave me a heart attack.

High levels are non existent on official server on The Island map. Good luck finding one higher than 90.

Suggest running up river to northeast from Southern islands and down east coast into withering swamps to southern isles, rinse and repeat for days and months.

Tranq arrows will risk death if ko'ed a second time, Given u don't have kibble and using raw fish meat. Best to use darts.

I searched for this thing FOR 2 GODDAMN HOURS WHAT THE HELLLL. AND THEN I FOUND ONE BUT MY ARGY WAS ON NEUTRAL. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

When encountering a baryonyx be prepared as they are fast and will target you when in its range

On mobile they’re way easier to tame because you can bola them. You can just make a door trap or something, or maybe just sniper it with tranqs from afar like jamar.

TO THE ONCE ARK MOBILE PLAYERS WHO NOW PLAY OFFICAL

…it’s not affected by bolas in official like it is in mobile, i learnt the hard way. i was on the verge of death after i figured out

Where are they most common on val?

These things are way too fast

I was taming a spino, it was at 83% then I went into the water to get some more fish then the next thing I know I was being attacked then died, and I lost the spino. But I went back and tamed the Baryonyx. I was leveling up my sarco on the other side of the island(just got it tamed) then all of a sudden the (wild) baryonyx is fighting my sarco, my sarco died with the baryonyx at 98 health out of 440.

This creature can grab you off even your biggest mounts, lost blue mutated rex after being riped off in he middle of swamp

Higher Aggro range in water than on land
