What is a baryonyx used for? baryonyx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Absolute must have game for beginners like me. One killed my para, so I reloaded the save and headed over with some tranq arrows and fish meat. Perched on a rock and he was out fast. Starve tamed and it was pretty easy. Only difficulty was keeping the dilos away. Afterwards I was thinking it’d be just another average beginner tame- but it wasnt. Toxin, my bary, is a real trooper. I once took our houseboat into the swamps, just messin around. He took out three sarcos and another bary. Later took on a meg and three mantas at once. Seriously, best thing ever.
They are very underrated. While they aren’t great on land in the water they have a stun locking tail spin which can stun those eels and even Alpha Megalodons and are one of the best aquatic mounts. There is also an Aberrant Variant of the Baryonyx which spawns on Aberration, Valguero, Crystal Isles, and Fjordur. The Aberrant Baryonyx is better than the regular Baryonyx
Baryonix Survival Evolved
Hi hello and howdy! Im a console player here to make the ultimate survival and other tips. Now I have a 98 lvl baryonix. Here’s how I tamed him:
Remember: They CAN breath underwater.
Knockout: (Bola don’t work :)) I play genesis 2 so I would just fly in the air shooting tranq arrows like a noob but do find a high place and shoot. When it runs just go run at it shooting. I tamed mine underwater when I didn’t know it was a water Dino.
Use (for taming food): Raw fish meat, and raw prime fish meat (personally these are way better so you can keep track of the bary)
Fight off any Dino’s who would kill your sleeping bary
Wait all the time giving it food and any narcotics and berries.
I would say their torpidity for taming is in the middle of fast and slow
Name ideas!: name them after present day water rocks based on their color! (Mine was red so I named it after a coral)
Tysm for reading and sorry this was long
The Ultimate Guide to Baryonyx
They are found on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Genesis Part 1, Crystal Isles, Genesis Part 2, Lost Island, and Fjordur
There is also an Aberrant Baryonyx that can be found on Aberration, Valguero, and Crystal Isles
They can be picked up by a Karkinos, Queztal, or a Wyvern
They are very fast and strong on both land and water and can do a tail spin stun attack while they are swimming
They are useful on The Island, Aberration, Genesis Part 1, and any Non-Story maps (u should tame an Aberrant Baryonyx if u are playing on Valguero or Crystal Isles)
These things are incredibly good at climbing steep surfaces, they are able to easily walk up and down almost 90° angle slopes like it’s nothing, even scorpions got nothing on these, they are also remarkably fast, being able to outrun stuff like raptors and terror birds, on top of that they can jump much further than most creatures and have very decent health and damage and can heal up almost instantly by killing a few fish, and to make it even better, they aren’t even that hard to tame, the only real downside to them is they only come in very dull colours (they can apparently spawn in red but this is extremely rare and I’ve never seen it happen before) which can make them a bit boring to look at, however this also helps with sneak attacks on other tribes as it makes them very hard to spot, so overall really worth taming if you love to explore a lot and they can also be quite useful in caves
