Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Baryonyx — Detailed Guide

The Baryonyx is an amphibious hunter that fights equally well on land and in water. Its tail strike stuns underwater targets, and it is a favorite mount for water caves and coastal runs.

Where to find it

It lives near rivers, swamps and coasts on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame and a carnivore. Lure it onto land if you can, knock it out and feed it meat or fish. Its saddle unlocks at level 49. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 2 hours.
  • Temperature: 29 to 35 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.

Uses

Tips

Take it into underwater caves to collect artifacts and loot without swapping mounts.
