I'm still new to ark, but I have a baryonyx and he is a UNIT he's taken out rexes , theris and is my go to take when I need a cave cleared over all definitely take one.

This Dino is probably the best from the south zone in ark because of it ability in caves the water and even land it’s amazing in speed but specializes in the water this thing also can jump and stun almost all medium size creatures this Dino is my second favorite from the south

I recommend having one as a starter tame

These things are op, easily one of my favorite dinos. They are faster than a raptor, have a lot of stamina and decent weight, and their secondary attack stuns almost anything underwater making an easy alpha meg or leed kills and free xp. Just make a 2x2 foundation with stone door frames to trap it. Simple. I tamed a lvl 60 at level 30 with a wooden bow it’s easy

The best all round mount in ark.

Carrying hard.

Mine killed a level 20 bronto and 2 level twenty trikes on its own at level 30

You could tame them in bog on genisis for an early ocean boom tame. Haven't tested it yet but I might use it to tame a giant turtle

I tamed a level 145 around 2 weeks ago now it's level 200 it's a monster i killed a level 140 rex

A must have for the Hidden Grotto on the Aberration DLC.

There are no Basilosaurus on Aberration and Baryonyx can rival the majority of aquatic creatures.

I don't know about PC, but on mobile, Baryonyx is carryable by Argentavis

Doesn’t anyone notice that this can be carried by argentavis international mobile

I took one to the cave in the south first I was nervous but then I got brave enough and ran in I was killing everything in there then when I came out I had lots of prime meat and meat and chitin I felt like I was on the top of the world so bring a medium strong dinosaur to a cave

Excellent for navigating around the beaches and swamps

This thing is a beast. It’s the top alpha killer for me, It’s strong, small and fast and great in the water. I just make the alphas go in the water and kill them there with the special underwater attack

I recommend taming a baryonyx when level 35 (depends if you want to tame it in a low level)

Force feeding them fish heals them quick, but is time consuming. If you really want to heal them in just a few seconds, attack fish while riding them, or you can turn on seek fish on low health. They also are arguably the best at harvesting raw fish meat, especially from Megalodons.

these go well with Sarcos! they are both fast in water

Baryonixes are great for caves.I recently farmed artifact of the hunter's cave with a lvl 40 on easy mode. It has about 1500 health and was able to kill arthroes and tens of areaneos at once.I got about 30 stacks of meat,1100 chitin and 150 hide and also lots of metal picks hatchets and arrows(normal and tranq) and the artifact itself(which I tributed and got a soothing balm) from the cave.It also leveled up two times.

If you want tranq arrows don't waste your narcotics and kill areaneos in caves with this ultimate cave mount

This was the first creature I ever then a dodo, and I have to say, once he reached max level I killed alpha rexs, a few mosasaurs and even used it as my main damage dealer for megapithecus, brought a yuty a bunch of deadons and one allosaurus and destroyed gamma and beta, easily my favorite creature in the game.

We humans are made out of meat it eats us…?? I guess it pretends to be a fish eater its a meat eater… D:
