Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a baryonyx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a baryonyx.
I see your looking to tame a baryonyx here’s how!; 1 supplies, I recommend bringing 50 / 100 narcs depending on the level and what you are useing to tame it, as with any water carnivore, it eats fish, and kibble! So I recommend bringing eithor one of those, however if you feed it normal fish meat it’s the same as regular meat, and prime fish meat works as well as, eh you probably get the point, I recommend bringing a sickle with you for the knockout ill explain a lil bit later. Next on the shopping list is yours truly the forsaken net gun :0 anyway this will be used during the knockout! Pack at least three as baryonyx are very quick creatures! And finnaly to specify what type of mount you will need this is optional because you may be quicker and more maneuverable on foot, but as the baryonyx is too it will be 50/50 you manage to catch up with it! 2 Finding one is pretty simple, they spawn on every map that I know of, and they commonly spawn in swamps, or river canals that have fish spawn points! 3 Knockout, with a net gun this is very simple, when you think the area you are in isn’t safe, if your fast, or you have a good sturdy mount you can shoot from then your best bet is to have it aggro on you and let it chase you to a safer area once ur is a safer taming area, whip out ur net gun and slap it with a net to let it know you mean business next shoot it in the head with a tranq dart, this should be enough to knock out a decent lvled Gary really quick make sure you bring more just in case tho, once it’s out, take your sickle and find some salmon, dispatch them and harvest them using the sickle, this is the best bet on getting prime fish without going to a leedsycths. Kibble works great too! :D congratulations you have tamed a dinosaur with an over extended mouth! But for what reason? Here’s some great thing about the baryonyx!; Very agile, and versatile mounts, this Dino is great for covering a long distance very quickly, very great tame for low levels and moderate level players! Great cave mounts as they can jump! They can also swim quite well, when in the water they have a special attack that stuns anything within the splash range it makes, of course this only works when swimming! They also have a very effective way of healing! They can eithor go to the water and consume fish to heal, or you can manually do it to heal very quickly by consuming live fish! A well rounded out versatile tame, other than the fact it only eats exclusively fish meat or it will starve to death, as fish meat is relatively common, it’s a pretty easy task! Happy taming! Thanks for the support and take care!
Tip it mite looked easy to find one untill you try to find and tame one
On my first world, I got really into breeding Baryonyxs. By the mid-game section, I had over forty Baryonyxs. My favorite was Maloi, he was my first mutated.
Maloi the Baryonyx.
One of the easiest tames EVER. All you have to do is bola it and knock it out in a few shots. After that feed it fish and botta bing botta boom you have yourself a Baryonyx.
Cannot use a bola anymore so either use a stone trap or a bear trap and put ~10 tranq arrows into their skull
When using fish meat it drops the taming bonus for every bite
You can bola in mobile I did it
These guys are pretty common around swamps, and sometimes you will find one along a beach. To tame them just make a 1x2 trap. I’ll list the items that I used; 2 wooden foundations (wood is just the minimum, I recommend stone.), 6 wood door frames, and a wooden ramp (this is just for the trap). You will need around 1 tranq arrow per level, or one tranq dart per 5 lvls (Make sure to shoot their head with tranq darts). Depending on the level and taming effectiveness, the amount of narcotics and food needed may vary. I would just bring however much food/narcotics you feel comfortable with bringing ( I would recommend raw prime fish meat, but if you have a lot of narcos you can use normal fish meat).
Thanks for reading, even though it’s pretty long. If I get 25 ups I will make a kapro taming guide!

If you are a low level don’t go after them unless you have a bola or two high level carbos
REMINDER: fish meat. tame them with fish meat. no raw meat, no prime meat, just fish meat, prime fish meat, and pachyrhino kibble. NO RAW MEAT. REMEMBER THAT.
Easy to tame. Pretty much all you have to do is lead it into a stone building and trank it from a distance don't forget to put wooden spikes around to keep raptors away
YOU CAN NOT TRAP THEM WITH SMALL BEAR TRAPS
On official do yourself a favor and kibble tame this guy if you use raw fish meat he will lose almost all of his taming effectiveness
You can carry it with argentavis up id you think it is helpful
Bola, tranq, feed fish meat. Boom done
You can pick these up with argys on mobile
Use a simple 2*1 trap with 1 high doorframes and a ramp to easily tame I tamed one with thatch as it focused on destroying the doorframe instead of trying to attack me but this only works with really low levels if medium use stone
It’s not hard to tame and can be tamed easily at lvl 30
These can be found near swamp areas so lure it out and into trap FAR AWAY FROM SWAMP
Or it’ll be killed by twenty million sarcos and kapros
Tame using prime fish meat which can be obtained by killing megladons and harvesting with metal pick
Hope this helped you some way:)
How to tame a baryonyx!
1. Find a baryonyx (they’re found near and in swaps)
2. Make a trap/make bolas (you could also use an argy to take the bary to a trap or somewhere else more safer)
3. Trap or bola the baryonyx
4. Knock it out! (I used my bow with 353 damage and I used about 20 tranq arrows on a 270 baryonyx)
5. Use a smoothing balm if you want I’ll make the process faster! ( you can get smoothing balms by running caves and turning in the artifact!)
6. Feed the bary prime fish meat! ( get a sickle and kill a lot of sabertooth salmons and harvest them with the sickle!)
7. Wait for your new baryonyx to tame!
FYI I play on mobile!! Hope this helped!
To kill just get its attention then run to a local stego or trike and then they kill it unless it moves them into water but easy
If you are playing ark mobile or switch the bary did not get his change and you can still pick it up whit an argy and bola it
