What are tips for baryonyx? Tips and strategies for baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
1: Do not fight them in water under any circumstances
2: Lure them on to land
3: Use a bola
4: Attempt to Tranquilse with bow and arrow or better
Remember: They can only be tamed with fish meat and they usually kill all the fish in the area so you should probably have some prepared beforehand.
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 :(
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 😂
Do not confuse with an iguanodon from a distance and come running, or worse, swimming, at it to kill it. Just don't.
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).
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.
I tamed mine when I first unlocked my tranq arrows.
Note :- 1) Tame a level 6 or 7 when you
are in low level.
2) They are Piscivorous so they
only eat fish meat.
3) Mostly found in swamps but
sometimes they do spawn in the
southern islets.
4) The things you need to level up
are Stamina,Melee damage and
health.
