I would argue that this dinosaur is the strongest mount that can fight on both land and in the water. I had one that was bred multiple generations, full imprint, purple saddle. I named him Fury to represent all of the anguish I experienced leading up to his creation. He was able to handle anything I threw at him with ease. People were surprised to hear that I was easily able to kill both squids and alpha carnos with him. Never got to attempt an alpha Rex. He met his match when I attempted an alpha squid. RIP Fury.

It's a great fish harvester and it tames fast I like it

NEVER and I mean NEVER FIGHT IN WATER. They will stun and all you can do is wait as you see this thing kill your lv 132 triceratops. That has killed rexs. Rip Trixie the triceratops Jan 2020- Mar 2020.

Baryonyx are quick like Allosaurus and do just as much damage (but don't get a pack bonus). They don't use oxygen for swimming and can sprint in the water. Right click in the water does an AoE stun that lasts about 10 sec. Their 'C' is a... Taunt? They also jump and you can fire a weapon from their back.

Can be carried by an Argie...

My baby girl the red baroness gets me EVERYWHERE in the water she can deal with megalodons and mantas really easily in conclusion baryonyx are AMAZING travel mounts. Thanks for taking time to read this

Sincerely a random Dododex user

Can we talk about the fact that I just saw one of these guys kill and eat a spino of the same level both at full health before the fight 🤔🤔

Baryonyx is king of the seas! Tame with Pachyrhinosaurus kibble and use them to help you tame basilosaurus as they can stun all the Manta that follow!

Better than the megalodon in my opinion.the stun is really powerful.

Here is a easy trap for it put 4 stone foundations in a square and seround the square by placing doorframes

Then put wals on top of the doorframes an put ramps to the side shoot the baryonyx run in the trap and go out the baryonyx is trapt knok it out Give it and give it fish

This also works with Raptors and carno’s

If you want to trap spino, Rex and allo Make it bigger with 9 foundations

Baryonyx eat fish, so feed them raw fish when you knock them out, but I think they eat raw prime fish too, because other fish-eating knockout takes I’ve tamed eat fish too. They are very fast and swim like speed boats that got hyped, and they are small enough to fight through small entrances. But luckily they are strong so they can fight and bite lots of big ol’ dinos (absolutely massive ones not included). Baryonyx good, man. They also have an option to toggle “seek fish on low health”. To me that sounds like the cyborgs??? Keep it up ARK, ur doing great!!!

(I play on mobile) ok so I just started a new ark world and I have a pretty good start, I have a moschops and a few other little dinos, but a baryonyx is super close to my base, should I tame it? Or should I kill it?

Night and day difference when you use this thing in the water. The stun attack can immobilize EVERYTHING. I use my bary, whose name is Tiny, to traverse the island quickly, as it’s faster than most things out there, and can get across water without a second thought. Tiny is very powerful, and has protected me from various threats and has also stood in place when my icthy and sarco died. I also used Tiny for the only cave I’ve completed. Probably why I’m not scared of arthropluera yet😂 up for Tiny!

Perfect for clearing caves. He's small enough to ride in and strong enough not to die quickly

To the person who said why does it eat me (All types of fish meat dude)

We are secretly fish

🚨 Can be picked up by Argy on mobile 🚨

Please please PLEASE make a trap for these guys. They are hella fast and can run away before you can shoot them again

These dinos like the water so look by the rivers! They are good swimmers and if you live near beaver dams an easy saddle to make!

you cant bola them just know that

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.
