What is a baryonyx used for? baryonyx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
(mobile) Best cave runner you can get. There are few stronger or faster choices and none are as versatile/easy to tame as the bary. Stuns most creatures when doing a spin in water(swipe up) and heals incredibly fast when killing fish. Also, force-feeding fish meat restores some 7.5 health for bary when force-feeding normal meat restores only 5 for other carnivores but it doesn't really matter. It takes minutes of non-stop clicking to restore your tame's health on high lvs if it gets below half health, but with a bary, you simply find a bunch of fish and kill them. You don't even need to eat them. The bary restores some of its health immediately when killing a fish. When traveling, keep swiping up to jump repeatedly and get a speed that's even faster than running.
Taming these guys is worth it, because if you can get 2,breed them, get that 100% imprint, then take it out for a spin to get xp, then you can get a power house. This was the case for me, to this day she is my favorite mount, she can kill alpha rexs if done strategically,she can almost any thing in the ocean, and can plow through caves and she's only level 82. Definitely get one of these.
