Baryonyx are not that hard to tame. You can tame it in the Early game for a good travel mount in water and land,it’s also good for getting artifacts.now if you want to tame a Baryonyx your going to need fish or kibble,meat will not work.you don’t really need a longneck rifle, even though it would probably work faster if your looking to get your first artifact then you probably won’t want to wait until the like the mid game to get a Baryonyx.After finding the one you want,make a trap or have a pretty fast mount because Baryonyx’s are very fast. you could also find high ground and if it’s near water i’m pretty sure we all know we should NOT go in the water. after it’s knocked out give it your food of Choice and that’s a Baryonyx for ya.

When taming these guys I recommend a longneck but you can tame with a crossbow. Remember count to five after every shot so the torpor can really sink in. By the way their food drains really fast so taming them will be easy Peasy. The only hard part is that they spawn in the swamp.

I tamed one very easily near my base i had to kill a rex near it but mainly im saying this to let you know 1: Its fairly easy to knock out/tame 2: its torpo goes down slow so you probaly wont need any narcotics but still bring some in case and 3: its an amazing dino for cave of the south in my opinion its just like my raptor by better by x2 lastly 4: **THIS GOES FOR ALL DINO YOU TAME kill any other dinos that might hit your tame or else it will mess up the tame** Thanks for reading my tip byee!!-

Trapping these guys isn't a difficult process. If you don't have the time or resources to make a full trap, just put down one or two bear traps, space them a little bit apart, and get behind them, then aggro the baryonyx you want. It'll run onto them and get stuck, then just take them down! (I have a Mastercraft bow I found in a drop, so only about four or five tranq arrows did the trick.)

What can they do?In my opinion Barys are the best cave dino in the game and very easy to get early game all you need it tranqs and fish meat. You could definitely argue that direwolves are better because of there pack ability, but a bary can hit harder than a rex sometimes. 100% Recommend to go get yourself a bath as fast as you can. How to tame? The baryonx saddle is unlocked at level 49 which by doing note run’s, you can get there fast. They are relatively easy to knock out as well so really all you need is a crossbow and like 30 tranqs. I recommend using a trap on these guys.All you need for the trap is 4 fence foundations a bola or bear trap and four stone walls. Once you get this bary knocked down you want to make sure that you get plenty of fish meat (or prime fish meat for faster tame) because they are pescatarians so they will strictly only eat fish. After the game there saddle can be crafted in a smithy by using the following ingredients. 225 hide, 25 metal ingots and 350 fiber. And that’s my instructions on how to tame a baryonx, hope it helped!

If you want to tame one of these at level 20-30s I recommend you to have an ichthyosaurus, crossbow, and minimal 6 tranqs and 1 arrow. They may be dangerous in water but that's if your tames are slow. My strategy is to lure them to land I usually shoot one of them mount my ichthy and lure it to a safe area where no Dinos are around. if you're searching on swamp areas don't worry predators like kapros and sarcos won't attack you while you're mounting your ichthy. After you knock it out feed it fish meat they do not want normal meat. You ran out of fish meats? Kill some megs with your ichthy megs are easy 50+ fish meat don't be intimidated by them they only attack land creatures same with most water/ semi aquatic creatures. Hope this helps you!

On Mobile, Baryonyx’s torpor drops really fast, so you should probably pump in a little narcotic or bio toxin even if Dododex says you don’t have to just in case. I had a lvl100 taming, and lost it when I went to get some extra bio-toxin from my base on the other side of the map. By lost, I meant it COMPLETELY disappeared.
