Baryonyx is a tamable dinosaur you’ll encounter in Ark Ragnarök. Even though it isn’t as strong as other deep-sea carnivores like Spinosaurus, Baryonyx is a very quick swimmer and is agile enough to pose a danger to most species on the Island.
In this guide, we will go over the taming process of a Baryonyx of your own in Ark Ragnarok and building a mobile base on its back.
How to Tame a Baryonyx?
The best way to tame a Baryonyx is by first using a tranquilizer. Then, get close to it using a flying or aquatic mount and start shooting at it. Once it’s down, you can feed it one of the following foods to tame it.
- Raw Fish Meat
- Raw Prime Fish Meat
- Cooked Fish Meat
- Cooked Prime Fish Meat
- Regular Kibble
Since these creatures are very aggressive, tranquilizing them may prove difficult. To circumvent this, you may need to build a trap. We recommend going with a 1×1 stone trap. Once you capture it inside the trap, simply follow the steps above to tame it.

Baryonyx Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding a Baryonyx, you can use a spawn command to summon it. To do this, first open the console command box by pressing TAB. If you’re playing on a PC or on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once.
Once the console opens, simply type in: “cheat summon Baryonyx_Character_BP_C” and press enter. If you come across a situation where this command does not work, try using this one instead: “cheat SpawnDino “Blueprint’/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Baryonyx/Baryonyx_Character_BP.Baryonyx_Character_BP'” 500 0 0 35”
