Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a baryonyx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a baryonyx.
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.
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.
This thing is crazy do not let your small dinos fight it rip bob
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.
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).
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.

If you see one dont try to escape in the water because it will have a great time killing you
Reminder for those in 2024, argentavis can no longer pick up the bary, don’t learn the hard way like I did 😭
Best early-late game dino this guy will make the ocean exploration so easy and can also kill alpha meg alone with the stun lock just avoid the cnidaria and eel
I intentionally tamed one while it hit my raptor 100 times… the raptor is still alive and healthy…
How to tame:
For levels below 55 and above 25:
If you have the 4 of these engrams (One is optional,) (Crossbow, Tranq Arrow, Large Bear Trap, and the optional one, Baryonyx Saddle,) Create at least two large bear traps (I’ve had my experience with one bear traps.) After, create about 20 - 40 tranq arrows depending on the level of the Bary. After that, create a crossbow in your smithy (7 metal ingots, some wood, and around 30 fiber.) Finally though optionally, create a baryonyx saddle.
Steps:
1: Find a Baryonyx.
2: Kill off any carnivore that could interfere with the taming (Such as Kaprosuchus and Titanoboa.)
3: Place 2 Large Bear Traps (Make sure they are spaced apart.)
4: Lure the Baryonyx in (Usually by crossbow.)
5: Shoot it with Tranq Arrows (Shoot it at the head.)
6: :)
7: Shoot it with Tranq Arrows.
8: Wait until the Baryonyx is unconscious (Baryonyx has infinite oxygen.)
9: Repeat step 2.
10: Baryonyx does not eat raw meat; feed it fish meat by putting it in it’s inventory.
11: Scan for hostiles eternally (The Compy (Compsognathus) will eat your Baryonyx’s corpse.)
12: Wait.
13: :) Great job, great job! Name it then put the saddle on it.
Stats: A extinct genus large-sized theropod with a croc-like snout could move very fast on land and on water. It has a interest in weight and after tamed, never eats raw meat; so feed it fish meat. It has high health, and is versatile in most situations. It also does a lot of damage, too! Baryonyx will not rage on you (unlike the Giganotosaurus,) and most small carnivores know not to bother it except Kapro and Utahraptor (Raptor.) Some small carnivores WILL attack you while riding on your Baryonyx such as Compy, Deinonychus, and some invertabraes.
@Shade the raptor
Tame it. If you succeed, you won’t regret it.

These take around 8 kibble of Pachyrhino. Will take around 3 tranq darts from a longneck rifle. 4 or 5 minutes until tamed. I've tested this, Baryonyx is my favorite dinosaur. So I tested on what I'll need.
Maloi the Baryonyx.
Cant bola them anymore, learned the hard way:)
Argy’s can carry them. Carry a Bary to a taming pen, it’ll make it super easy. Plus the swamp is a horrible spot to tame anything.
Don't waste time with bolas. Their sprites got bigger and bolas are old news. Use ranged weaponry while standing up above on a high rock. Would definitely recommend being at least level 21 for tranq arrows- it's especially more effective to be able to shoot the bary from a far distance to aggro it while safely perched up above a high enough rock. At level 21, I was able to tame a level 200 on mobile. My first bary. It took 5 hours of patience and grind. It will torpor run really fast; be prepared!
My happiness was short-lived.
They can get out of the cage, atleast without a special angle that i did not discover or prove existence.
