How do I tame a baryonyx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a baryonyx.
THEY CAN FIT THROUGH DOUBLE DOORS
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.

Sorry for the hopes
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 cage these, just like a Sarco.

Time for one of the most underrated tames out there.
How to tame a Baryonyx:
1. Prepare to tame this good
You need:
Tranq Arrows or Darts along with their corresponding weapon(Crossbow/Longneck)
6 Triangle Stone Foundations
12 Stone Doorframes, NOT A DOUBLE DOORFRAME
2 Wooden Ramps
Use a metal sickle on Sabertooth Salmon to get more Raw Prime Fish Meat
2. Find a high level baryonyx, no one will ever be as strong as Mr. Man’s Baryonyx named Baron, so don’t even try lol
3. Make a trap, put the foundations in a hexagonal pattern. Then put two doorframes on the sides then place the ramps on any side so you and the baryonyx can make it into the trap
4. Lure the Baryonyx into the trap..run towards the Baryonyx and let it chase you then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. Run up the ramp and through the doorframe,
5. Knock it out, it prefers Raw Prime Fish Meat.
6. Name your Baryonyx!
What can I say about this tame? Well..
1. They’re amazing for land because of their speed and their strong bite.
2. They’re amazing for water because of their fast swim speed and their special underwater ability to do an AoE tail swipe.
3. They’re amazing for caves because of their size and they incredible attack stat.
4. Cherish the king of the Baryonyx, Mr. Man. He requires blood sacrifices of 17 Cnidaria everyday

Make sure to have a fast mount this things a speedy
If youre on mobile, you can use an Argentavis to scoop them from the water and drop them in a taming pen.
Bola, tranq, feed fish meat. Boom done
Don't fight jellyfish or you and your tame may perish
Tip it mite looked easy to find one untill you try to find and tame one
By far best dino to tame for deep sea exploration and farming. He's incredibly fast on land, out running taptors, carnos, theriz, etc. His swim speed in water is just as good, with megalodons crumpling to his stun and bite. Great stamina and offense, and you can stay away from base for days with this helpful guy.
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.
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!
Pick the Bary up with an argy and place it in a 2x2 stone cage(not wood!). The wall lvls only have to be one high and it won’t be able to escape, then tranq it till it’s knocked out then boom u have urself a baryonyx
I always trap these under my wyverns and then tranq them so I don't have to build traps.
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!

Don't try to grab a wild one out of the water...
1. Bola or put down a bear trap and get it stuck
2. Put 4 fence foundations down and then 4 doorways or walls around the Barry
3. Shoot it full or tranq darts (in the head with a crossbow and arrows works good if you don’t have a gun and darts)
It worked for me and a lvl 280 Barry hope this helps!
Can u pick up Bary with an Argy??? Click the forwards facing arrow ( I had to word it weird ) if yes, down if no. Tysm
They didn’t update it yet but yes bolas affect the bary, even if it doesn’t say it. You basically have to have it run at you and you’ll be good.
