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.

My three barys disappeared the other day, and I was going to teleport them back after not being able to find them, until I decided to get on my dunkleosteus to get some oil. I found my three barys at the bottom of the ocean surrounded in dead megalodons and mantas, and each one of them had over fifty biotoxin in their inventory. I’m guessing three of these guys are even enough for some overpowered blue jellyfish🤣

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)

If you’re new to the deep sea, this thing is your best friend. They’re fast, have no oxygen bar, and have a stun attack that can stun the majority of aquatic (and land) creatures. (Keep in mind you can only do the stun in water.) You can also shoot off of the back of them while underwater, making them really helpful in taming deep sea creatures.

The only things this dino lacks are wings ... there are dinos that best at something, Barry simply good at everything except flying... he is still better flyer than Raptor though.

Can out turn almost every water creature, can outrun almost land creature, can show the punny raptors who is the big bro while can simply out turn the bigger land dinos as well.

He is like the swiss knife of Ark

Everyone keeps saying that this Dino is the ultimate cave Dino, aquatic Dino, amphibious Dino and so on. I agree, but what they do not tell you, maybe because they do not know, is that this is the best Dino to help you tame creatures. How are they the best? You can shoot off their back. They can outrun almost any Dino so if you need to hit multiple tranqs it is useful (I tamed a Bronto with tranq arrows riding one) and if worse comes to worse, you can probably kill the creature you are trying to tame. Also any creature that is either faster than it or stronger than it you can escape from by swimming. One last tip, do not try to tame a gigantosaurus with one unless its movement speed is high because those are only found far from water.

I tamed one of these bois and they are SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED. Sadly my baryonyx died and now I gotta go get a new one but if you want one go to swamps. P.S. don’t touch cnidarians.. ever, I touched one with my Meg and let’s just say my baryonyx tried to save her.. Pls up for love for Alfred my baryonyx and so noobs like me can see

Great for cave runs. Can shoot of the back of them. Stun attack, bite attack, swim great and run great. Remember no need to sprint jump in caves, just walk forward and jump. It has a long jump. Eats fish very important. If you Dino leash it in water with fish can be set to find fish by itself
