They hit fast, with force, they tear off flesh, they stun-lock creatures, nothing can hit u if u spam its attack, its fast agile on land and in water, can jump a lot and is very useful, eats fish so taming it is fairly easier because u do nit think of jerky or kibble or stuff so i would recommend, mostly in rivers and in swamps.

I wish luck to everyone who attacks it without a backup strong dino like some 50 lvl raptor or some carno. I used my carno Nexus she is great for protection and if you want a carno just climb on a high rock and just do theese 3 steps:

1) reload

2) aim for the head

3)shoot and again from 1 until it falls, you can use this with the barys too but if he is not so close just be chill and if he is low lvl its a piece of cake

Now that I have tamed more Baryonyx, more Baryonyx now spawn. Any ideas to how to kill it with a broken longneck rifle?

Probably one of the best general use non flyer mounts in the game. Fast land and water speed, quick stamina regen, good health, decent damage. Small enough to use in some caves like the southern cave. Absolute terror in the water and it has no oxygen meter. Very easy to tame and can be found in the swamp or around some rivers. High maneuverability on land and in water.

Get yourself one.

One of the best caving creatures

On mobile, they can roar if you swipe down on the left side of the screen. Two questions. 1:Can you also do this on pc/console? 2:What is the roar used for?

These tiny bipedal spino wannabes are actually pretty good tames if you are not ready to get a spino. Unlike the spino they are pretty much a guaranteed tame once it’s knocked out since it’s torpor drains slowly, unless it gets killed. Don’t make the same mistake I did when taming these they eat exclusively fish, regular meat won’t work. This also applies to already tamed ones, if you feed it raw meat instead of raw fish meat, it will refuse to eat it. What I like to do since I don’t have access to spino saddles for like another 20 levels, is just to ride my bary and get my spino to follow me around, and make it target ennemis, this works out surprisingly well and I can always get my bary in to help if something goes wrong

Baryonyx is a great tame for caves, but learn from my mistakes. A wild-tamed baryonyx will do the job for the first couple caves, but it can get pretty dicey after that. My advice: Breed two Baryonyx together and imprint the baby. Imprinting grants an increase to stats. When riding your imprinted dino, you also recieve a buff that gives your dino +35% damage resistance and +25% damage output. It doesn't sound like much, but it is an absolute game changer.

Try it out for yourself. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. =)

They a peskys not carnivores not veggie

Peskys

So they said it was immune to shock from jellyfish that's a lie brought mine to some jelly it got shocked to death rip

Awesome tame. Very easy to rack up fish meat and can even take out megas. Upgrade stamina since it is easy to run out.

If u need fish then this is your guy.

Also is a good starter water creature.

285% Movement speed is fast enough to dodge Kapro and Purlovia pounces, as well as avoid anything else

If you want to do a cave tame one of these 1: they can breath underwater good for an underwater cave

2: Small enough to fit in most small parts of the caves

3: A powerfull creature overall for deleting all of the cave creatures

Other: underwater spin attack stuns medium size creatures and dismounts othe players

Final note:thank you all who saw my tip and üq so more players can do the caves better and fight those bosses!

Just gonna say, these things are OP they can literally use the stun attack back to back. The second one stun runs out, they’re ready to use it again. Probably the BEST marine PVP mount seeing as all you have to do is stun someone a few times deep underwater, and they drown.

They are great early game water adventurers but don’t go too deep or you will find angler fish, pleasiosaurs, and cnardia

These are super good Thames they are fat in the water and fast on land on land they are pretty much raptors but muck stronger with the same attacks in the water it base a stun move that is super annoying in the wild but super useful when tamed

These guys are awesome if you level them up in speed and weight. They're also good attackers. I had one of these when me and my brother played together and it was my favorite dino.

While faster than the sarco on land, and its tail attack being very good, I would use this as a sea creature. I know that's sounds weird, but the sarco does not work in the seas. Better as a river/riverbank fighter/hunter.

Apparently in ark mobile they can still be immobilized by bolas and can be carried by an argentavis

Most things a baryonyx can do a sarco can do just as effectively or better here is a list of what they are good for.

Baryonyx:

Pros: fast on land, can fit in almost every cave, has a bigger attack aoe, can stun things in water, can be bola'd and takes less tranqs to tame, can build up speed by spam jumping

Cons: slow in water, slightly weaker, can't stun big dinos (mosa, ect), usually needs a pen to tame, only eats fish, saddle unlocked at a higher level, saddle requires a smithy to craft

Sarcosuchus:

Pros: Fast in water, best turning radius in the game, instantly regains stamina underwater, stronger than bary, lower level saddle, can be "ridden" without the saddle, slow speed when wild makes it easy to tame

Cons: slow on land, small attack aoe, deathroll is kind of useless, can accidentally knock itself out by lunging/deathrolling, takes longer to tame, there is a glitch where occasionally sarcos will die or almost die when they exit water, has a hard time hitting bugs
