This thing is crazy do not let your small dinos fight it rip bob

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.

One is surrounding my area where I tame parasaurs, trikes, carbonemyses, diliphosauruses, igunadons, and pteranodons. My plane is to bola it, then kill or tame it. The baryonyx is near water.. should I do this.. I could lose my dinosaur(s). I’m scared

I finally knocked this bad boy then a stupid freaking raptor! (My raptor) thought it was still alive and killed it then gather the rest of it :(

Baryonyx are the best caving dinosaurs

Useful to level yourself up. Can easily kill four sharks at once. Good for black pearl diving. Can keep large predators off and hunt down the sea spiders

Basically just a way better sarco. It has no oxygen stat, and can go quickly on land and in water if it's sprinting.

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

You can pick it up with an Argy--doesn't make sense, but it makes taming a breeze.

Do not get in the water with one of these guys they will kill you if you are at starter level I never have had one but would love to hope this helps anyone

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).

These are probably the best mounts to use while taming basilosaurus. The basilosaurus usually has a large group of stingrays around them. I have found one without the usual mob surrounding it, but it’s still a good idea to a baryonyx along for safety. What makes them helpful during the taming process is their ability to stun multiple creatures and then to dispatch them quickly. To do so I think you have to tap the left trigger(this is for Xbox)to do its stun attack. After stunning the rays you just bite them and swim to the basilosaurus and passive tame it.

ME:AHHH BARYONX WAIT I HAVE A SWORD

Baryonyx:FULL SUSANOO

ME:GETS CONTINUOUSLY STUNNED AND DIES

Ironic that's the same bary I tamed and got killed by before it's crazy 😂

ok literally my new favorite tame, not only is the bary a powerhouse for fighting and a demon of speed on both land and water, but you can shoot off its back. great caving tame because its slender, fast and powerful and on top of all of this, it’s stamina is good even from the time you tame it. 10/10 good tame (just don’t try and bola it).

Do not confuse with an iguanodon from a distance and come running, or worse, swimming, at it to kill it. Just don't.

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!

:)

These can stun your quetz when trying to pick them out of the water.

This Dino is a MUST tame for transition between early to mid game. Forget about sarcos, megaladons, or itchy’s. This thing is the best water tame you can get. They’re faster than spinos on water and land. They eat anything underwater for breakfast because of their special attack. They’re also great on land as well because of its speed and damage. Its special attack immobilises creatures (only works in water) for enough time for you to kill them. It has infinite oxygen and I think it’s the perfect Dino for caves on both land and water. Nothing can stand up to it in water, and when I say nothing I mean absolutely nothing. It’s stun is absolutely broken no doubt.

Dinos like thyla, sabertooth, or direwolves are great cave Dino’s but baryonyx is so much better. It’s because they are extremely fast and they deal good damage. One of the best things about them is that they heal so fast if they eat fish meat. They are fish eating Dino’s so if you want good results make sure to keep fish meat in its inventory instead of regular raw meat. It’s crazy how they can heal thousands of health in a matter of minutes with fish meat without force feeding. I personally think this is why they’re the best for caves

I recommend getting the Barry as soon as u unlock its saddle. Their easy to tame because their not that big so just find a small hill or use a tanky Dino as bait while u shoot it with tranqs. Or just simply use a bear trap if it’s a low lvl

The way i tamed my first Barry (lvl 89):

I used my arg which has around 6500 health as bait and I simply just shot it with tranqs. It took about 25-30 tranq arrows on a journeyman crossbow.

Journey man is one the many qualities of items that you can get from the supply drops or from killing alpha Dino’s (got mine from killing an alpha raptor)

In my experience, Low lvl Barry’s (up to level 40 or 50) take very less amount of tranq arrows to knock out, about 15-25. They’re an easy tame and like I said, Great first tame definitely recommend it.

You can't stun creatures on land they can only stun in water
