What is a baryonyx used for? baryonyx utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Put a carbo in the water in passive mode, and have sarco, baryonyx and megalo follow him in aggressive long distance target mode. The bary will regularly come home with black pearls. And you need to regularly just drop his inventory because it is the best autonomous gatherer this way.
Use a school of Sabertooth Salmon and harvest them with a sickle to get a better chance at prime fish meat when you spot one. For the best results go for one around level 90 or above if you can, and make sure you have at least 125 narcotics on you when you knock it out. It can be a lengthy tame due to the overall tame percentage gain of fish but having a few of these with about 3k health and the rest of their levels into power makes them a nightmare, especially in water due to their stun. Enjoy, they're a favorite of mine.
With a shark and two of these bad boys as an escort, the ocean is your oyster. Mine have protected me flawlessly against sharks, anglers, eels, and manta with their sweeping stun attack. Even Plesiosaur and Mosa get quickly overwhelmed by the sheer DPS two of these can do as it will alternate who it attacks rather than focusing on one Dino. I’ve even been saved from JELLYFISH by these guys as they can attack in any direction even when being stunned (a swarm of jellies will stun lock them, but one or two is manageable with enough melee and HP boost.)
WARNING you can easily lose this Dino in the ocean after fighting manta and Megalodon as each shark gives them 300 or so fish meat and mantas around 200 - they get overburdened with meat FAST. Check their weight after each big fight!!
My experience with these creatures started when i found a spino and a baryonyx and i didnt know which one to tame (i was level 30 at the time) so i chose the baryonyx i named hime barry and then i found anothe one named her bailey had them mate and 20 baryonyxs later i have an army of fearsome warriors
You can eat fish to have your health regenerated faster. Its stamina runs really slow when running too, so you dont have to bump up stam a lot. Really good starter tame to go in caves with as well, as some caves will have water drops, and it destroys piranhas with its stun move. Your spin move also stuns big creatures like sacros,it helps out a lot. Use this for cave exploring or a fast overall mount
