When going to caves, bring a Baryonyx because they can fit in most caves and they good damage and stuns creatures.

1. Bola or put down a bear trap and get it stuck

2. Put 4 fence foundations down and then 4 doorways or walls around the Barry

3. Shoot it full or tranq darts (in the head with a crossbow and arrows works good if you don’t have a gun and darts)

It worked for me and a lvl 280 Barry hope this helps!

They didn’t update it yet but yes bolas affect the bary, even if it doesn’t say it. You basically have to have it run at you and you’ll be good.

Baryonyx are not that hard to tame. You can tame it in the Early game for a good travel mount in water and land,it’s also good for getting artifacts.now if you want to tame a Baryonyx your going to need fish or kibble,meat will not work.you don’t really need a longneck rifle, even though it would probably work faster if your looking to get your first artifact then you probably won’t want to wait until the like the mid game to get a Baryonyx.After finding the one you want,make a trap or have a pretty fast mount because Baryonyx’s are very fast. you could also find high ground and if it’s near water i’m pretty sure we all know we should NOT go in the water. after it’s knocked out give it your food of Choice and that’s a Baryonyx for ya.

It can also outrun you on land unless you have a lot of points pumped into movement speed.

If you are playing ark mobile or switch the bary did not get his change and you can still pick it up whit an argy and bola it

To the people who say bola does not work ,I tested it and it works on mobile

YOU CAN NOT TRAP THEM WITH SMALL BEAR TRAPS

Trapping these guys isn't a difficult process. If you don't have the time or resources to make a full trap, just put down one or two bear traps, space them a little bit apart, and get behind them, then aggro the baryonyx you want. It'll run onto them and get stuck, then just take them down! (I have a Mastercraft bow I found in a drop, so only about four or five tranq arrows did the trick.)

To all the people saying climb on a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows let me tell you all you need is bola and some tranqs. Then you should be all set.

so uhhh somehow the baryonyx in mobile can still be immobilized by bolas but the bolas are not visible in the baryonyx legs (yes you can no longer bola a baryonyx and cannot be picked up by an argy/argentavis)

Bringing a simple raft cage to the swamp should allow you to easily trap and transport this guy to an appropriate area to knockout and tame.

For some reason (bug?) you can’t be damaged while driving the raft, even when this guy is standing on top of you! (PC)

Cannot use a bola anymore so either use a stone trap or a bear trap and put ~10 tranq arrows into their skull

This boy can challenge with T. Rex no lie

You can carry it with argentavis up id you think it is helpful

I was swimming in the river trying to find/tame an otter and than suddenly a baryonyx spin attack me and i cant do anything cuz i got stun it litterally spamed his spin attack at me and i died hope you guys be carefull cuz baryonyx can spam spin attack and the spin attack can stun you

This Creature is amazing and when ever it kills something it harvests the body immediately. I recommend taming this.

My new Sarco died to one of these,why must they be so territorial?

Fun fact: Baryonyx isn’t the only Dino related to spinosaurus. Two others include suchomimus from Africa and another(forgot the name😬) found in China.
