What is a baryonyx used for? baryonyx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Barrys are the best! I just unlocked a saddle today for mine called Technoblade, and me and my bro went out exploring and found another which I tamed. They jump so far and swim well, speed is good, attack is awesome. Several times was almost killed by Theries but turned around and killed them easily. Definitely get one of you can.
These are the best tame in the game certainly. They are very fast on both land and water, and are incredibly agile. They are pretty easy tames early on if found at low level, so by the time you get the saddle, you have a very high level one, so they will be very affective on both land and water.
I used mine, Onyx, to finish The cave in the south and get the artifact of the hunter. I know you're probably scared for your baryonyx to die, but don't worry. Onyx had around 2094 Hp or something. When it gets tranqulized, just wait until it's at 0.0 torpor. It takes awhile, but at least your baryonyx doesn't die. Because they can't fit in the artifact room, go in with a metal hatchet, and kill the creatures in there, get the artifact, and pass out. If you do, be close to your baryonyx, it can protect you. Baryonyxs can jump fairly high, and get your artifact back safely. I tributed mine, and got a mastercraft metal pick blueprint, soothing balm, and a primitive fishing rod. HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO USE IN CAVES!
