What is a baryonyx used for? baryonyx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
this guys all rounders perfect early game to mid game anyways it has a damage high enough to compete with a carno a health that can survive many attacks,a sprinting and swimming speed that is fast enough to avoid most predators and a stun in the water that can be used on offence defence and escaping
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
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.
So this is basically a cheap spino.
I once had a female which I named Lola (im on mobile) she is awesome I killed Rexes and sarcos and brontos but A RAPTOR level 1 caught me and for a strange reason the neutral whistle didn’t work so yea I saw:
You got killed by raptor lv 1
After that incident I bred Lola with another Barry to get a super baby. Then I encountered a raptor again and I just ran/bite through it without it even pouncing ???? My Barry is way too fast
So I went on rampage
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. =)
