How ARK players tame and knock out the Baryonyx: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Seems as of the new TLC you can no longer pick them up with an Argentavis and they seem to be larger.

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…

Hmm it says you can’t bola this dude…*stares at the 140 red baryonyx I bola’d*

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…

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.

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

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!

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

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…

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

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