Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a baryonyx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a baryonyx.
Seems as of the new TLC you can no longer pick them up with an Argentavis and they seem to be larger.
Here’s how to tame a bary
Step 1 get raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat
Step 2 get a cross bow or a bow (I used a cross bow )
Step 3 find a bary and get on high ground so it doesn’t get you (you can build a trap but I just did the high ground)
Step 4 knock it out
Step 5 put the raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat in its inventory
Step 6 wait till it tames
Now you have a bary I hope this helps:)
Mostly found throughout all the rivers on the island. Not found on Scorched Earth.
BOLAS WORK ON MOBILE! Hope others see this
it’s not so hard to tame it, you need something that can fly and some stone buildings:
1. i built 4 square stone foundation, put around it stone door frames twice to height and to any of it put 2 of ramp outside
2. just bait him to this stone box, you can do it by flying from right direction, or you can do it by walk, just bait him and quickly run to box, you can go through door frames, it can to it
3. give torpor to it, i used crossbow and tranq arrows
4. it eats ONLY fish, but i used blue kibble (to 68 lvl i spent 3 of them
5. done
Hmm it says you can’t bola this dude…*stares at the 140 red baryonyx I bola’d*
Extremely useful, find them near almost any river bank. Lure them out of the water (do NOT try to fight them in the water, you will 100% die) and bola them. Then either knock them out with a few hits or hit it with a tranq arrow. We use them as protection when traveling, and they have takes out everything from a pack of raptors to a therinosaurus to carnos.
BOLA no longer immobilizes. I feel their size has been also change visually seems larger.
I just did my first dungeon and got Baryonyx and Mammoth implants which one should I Tame? up for Baryonyx down for Mammoth 5 votes decide.
Newer update than tips section.
Baryonyx can no longer be carried by Argentavis. Quetzal or above is needed to carry him. Baryonyx drag weight has been increased.
I wasted my time, don't waste yours!
For Mobile users, the Barry CAN be picked up by the Argi.
1. Find a Baryonyx
2. Climb on a rock
3. Shoot it with tranq arrows
4. Feed it fish me
5. You have a Baryonyx
I don't know why this isn't a tip from anyone else but once tamed it only eats fish.
Hey hey beginner don’t be scared if you see this than your in luck if you have 2 bola and fish meat than bola it and than tame it I think you already know that your in luck for reading this tip
Honestly this is the Best tame i've ever had.i currently have 3 rex.spino tapejara and argy. But i have to say this this guy is the best dino ark ever made. hands down.mine could outrun a raptor on land.almost megapiranha on water..also this medium shaped dino helped me overcome my fear for caves.whether its artho or titanboa. Due to its high torpor enduring and decent weight and melee damage. Cave huntings were easier for me.. Until i lost him on by mistakely jumping into Lava In LAVA CAVE. Will miss u alot Barry Allen.
TIP:I DONT CARE IF U R ON EARLY OR MID GAME.TAMING THIS BEAST IS A MUST.JUST REMEMBER THEY ONLY EAT FISH SO AFTER KNOCKING HIM OUT GO TO THE NEAREST RIVER TO FETCH SOME FISH MEAT.
~thank you if u have read this much~

Bola's work on these, can tame anywhere even in water, prime fish meat is best so take a fishing rod and all the necessary equipment needed, easy tame
Traps are great for taming high leveled ones too
In ark mobile these things can be bola.
YOU CANNOT PICK THEM UP WITH ARGIES, I tried and ended up getting dismounted due to touching water and nearly got killed. Lure them onto land and either trap them or go ontop of a rock ad they are insanely fast. Starve them down and feed fish meat.
This thing is crazy do not let your small dinos fight it rip bob
