What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get it with an argentavis, and throw it into a taming pen, than knock it out. Never fight it in the water, it will stun u, and it swims faster than u. It only eats fish meat. If it kills a fish it also gets it into its inventory instantly.
Use a bola then stand behind it with a club bow and arrow etc, they only eat fish meat so make sure u are near a body of water to get the meat.
Make sure to pump up your movement speed if you don’t bola this bad boy. He will catch you if you have a noob speed lol.
Tranq him on high ground or behind other creature because they will attack the creature you are behind first
These guys literally annoy me, I was on my raptor with my otter when suddenly a baryonyx appeared out of thin air! He knocked me of my raptor and started chomping away on it next thing you know my raptor is nearly dead and we are running away. But guess what, a purlovia came running at us... Well let's just say my raptor didn't survive but I somehow got away ;-; my otter was kinda injured cuz I accidently threw it of when I panicked. RIP unnamed raptor
For everyone saying why does it attack me if it eats fish? Well I have the answer: in it’s official entry it’s aggression is listed as passive to land creatures, but aggressive to water-dwellers so it attacks you when you go in water so don’t go in or near water and it will not attack you.
DO NOT FORGET these guys stun you AND your mount in the water, I made that mistake crossing river with my carno, I was dismounted but made it to shore. Once my Carno lost its stun it made quick work of the Baryonyx 😜
I was with my parasaur (joker) minding my own business near the beach shorelines and here comes a level 25 baryonyx and kills us both! So I went back, for my pride and dignity & tamed it! We became best friends since, now he is a level 75, a complete beast in the water with its stun attack. How to tame: easy, Bola it if it’s a low level or build a trap! It ONLY eats fish meat so you need to kill a few fish to put in its inventory to tame.They spawn near swamps and beach shorelines **everything is easier said than done** good luck!
The best land mount and underwater mount idc what you say
Can be feed raw meat just has to be fed manually not automatically.
Taming in the redwood river you will need:
10 narcotics
A crossbow with 10 tranq arrows
A bola
A crude ton of fish
They are awosome! Tame one asap u get its saddle, I will prefer these guys over spino because it's stunning ability. U can literally go inside cave rivers(filled with megapirahnas) and do ur stunning attack to get a crab ton of levels, fish meat and satisfaction. And I will preffer them for the water caves too....
That's it
