The dossier didn't lie, they regenerate a small portion of their health just by killing a fish (even without it having harvesting on).

If yours is getting really low on health, just find a nearby Coel cluster. It'll regenerate health incredibly fast by killing them all.

A Jumper, Swimmer and Sprinter, Bary is a really good package

also don't forget the Tail Whip when in the water

Excellent Dino for caves. Nimble and can get into caves easily.

These can be picked up by argy in MOBILE. you can build a trap and drop the bary off on the trap for easy taming.

They are carried by argys (atleast I think in mobile) up so more people can see

I’ve been playing ark for a bit but I’m not too good. I was a coward but when I tamed a baryonyx and took it to a swamp man I’m ready to take on a giga.

To the guy that was wondering how to do tail spin on mobile, I don’t know but I do know that it needs to be in water. Oh and also, if you want answers on how to do something, don’t ask on Dododex because there is no ‘reply’ feature so it is completely coincidental that you find the response. Instead google it or ask around on Reddit or something.

One of the best dinos for a cave adventure

best caving mount for most land caves.

tamed easily with tranqs, no trap needed, just shoot when attacking another creature. do not approach in water due to spin attack that stuns you. this attack is very useful when tamed and combined with another strong aquatic tame set to attack target, such as a sarco.

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

Tame a male and femaleand 200% movement go on an underwater fish killing frenzy. Be careful to unload your inventory you fill up on fish meat fast.

These are probably the best mounts to use while taming basilosaurus. The basilosaurus usually has a large group of stingrays around them. I have found one without the usual mob surrounding it, but it’s still a good idea to a baryonyx along for safety. What makes them helpful during the taming process is their ability to stun multiple creatures and then to dispatch them quickly. To do so I think you have to tap the left trigger(this is for Xbox)to do its stun attack. After stunning the rays you just bite them and swim to the basilosaurus and passive tame it.

This can somehow stun alpha megs for some reason

These are great for doing fish meat runs. Most water mounts such as Basils, eat fish meat as fast as they can gather it. Others such as spinos simple are a pain to use in underwater combat due to turn radios and hit box. Baryonyx gathers fas much fish meat as a spino, but better due to its stun ability and unlimited oxygen and maneuverability. Just swim right up to a megladon, stun it, chomp. Rinse and reappear. Best at fish meat gathering in my opinion. Never underestimate their stun ability!!

They heal really quick by just killing fish, they heal quite quick eating fish meat but actually just killing fish is much faster.

I have played Ark for about five years, and for four years people told me that these guys weren’t worth crap. But one day about a year ago I was playing PvP with my friends and I decided to tame one to see if it really was as bad as people said. I instantly knew they were my new favorite tame and I started breeding; I became the most powerful person on the server.- Allen

These things can roar like Rex and Spinos to intimidate other players and dinos hope this helped

I just tamed my first baryonyx. After seeing all the video in internet saying they are king of seas took it for the first time in water and saw jelly fishes so went near them. Then end of story. I was happily started the morning to harvest metal and Crystal with him .Sad He’s gone now.

Please don’t ever go near the jelly fishes with any Dino. I can’t even take back the saddle now .

On Mobile, if you're traversing the island always travel near water cause they recover less stamina when their foots on water. And if something high level chasing you, just swim to deep water and they'll outrun almost every carnivore unless it's a Sarco cause wild Sarco seemed to have as a turbo on water. A must have tame for caving due to it's wide AOE damage and strong knockback. They can also protect you on Arthro's spit attack. And don't forget the spin attack that can stun even a pack of Megalodon.

Cant stun megapiranhas in mobile

And gives twice more fish meat than other dinos
