Best all around mount ever.If you pump damage this thing is a beast both on land and underwater with its stun attack

Haven’t tried but could be great for taming a big turtle

Stun move in water does not trigger aggro debuff from ammonite and thus it can be used to obtain bile to make tons of antidotes. Instead of using a Tuso for a few hours fighting off Mosas, Cnidaria, and Electrophorus, you can ignore it all and use a Bary for 15 minutes to collect enough bile for 200 antidotes! Helpful if in a large tribe.

These guys are easily the best cave mount. With a lot of melee and health they are almost unstoppable.

So sad this can’t stun megs and piranhas on mobile.

Based on my experience, this guys can face tank the athro's spit attack(when angled properly), meaning they wont be able to hit and destroy your armor when you on the back of this beast

Jack of all trades. Fast on land and in water. Better manuverabilty than larger mounts. Surprisingly powerful. A well bred barry can hold its own against anything on land or in the water.

They are REALLY good for doing caves and they can get a TON of fish meat really easy.

Note that only fish meat can give them a health boost. Tried feeding mine normal meat but she wouldn’t gain health from it.

These guys can’t swim straight up or down, they go up at in incline, so watch your oxygen stat when riding into deep ocean, it will take longer to surface. Whirlpool attack is good tho, and also makes a great name

Must have for PvP. I play single player, and was out hunting on my new spino. I attacked one and it spun me off my spino. Therefore, lure poeple to water and knock them off any mount. Haven't tested with my Rex or brontos yet, and won't.

Get the baryonyx at a high level and farm meat

AWESOME mount, can take down carnos, raptors, therizinos, megalodons,

Sarcos,titanoboas and any underwater creatures, has no oxygen,gets

LOADS of fish meat and prime fish meat,best swamp mount and finally

Improve its health to about 3k and it can take down almost anything!

When taming its pretty easy because it gets affected by bolas.

A great first tame!

My friend and I were in the cave in dead island, I rode a baryonyx, he had a dire bear. We cooked the cave with our tames level 50-70. My favorite Dino because of its versatility. It traverses that cave very easy, anger in and out with no problem especially with its jump. By far my go to because of how good it is in land water and caves.

I've found that killing fish, not necessarily eating them, is what heals them the most.

One of the most underrated dinos on ARK. Easy tame, just aggro let it get out of the water then bola it. Its the ATV of ark. Very underrated. Its fast on land and water. Having megladon problems? Baryonyx it. Stuns them, even in groups, then collects all that prime fish meat!! One of the first dinos I look for when starting.

Take it to upper south cave and murder the ever living fuck out of every single piranha that you can find. It regenerates health just by killing the fishes, and while the piranhas are too small to be affected by the stun effect, the spin attack still has a full 360 AoE. The Baryonyx will effectively cancel out ANY damage dealt by those little pests!

Take it to a river and kill a big sabertooth salmon and get hundreds of fish

This Dino helps you and your fellow tribe mates go underwater and stun things!

Can go in caves at least some of them
