More about taming the Aberrant Baryonyx
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Aberrant Baryonyx, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Aberrant Baryonyx across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Baryonyx first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Karkinos to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Baryonyx unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Aberrant Baryonyx: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Aberrant Baryonyx, a tamable, piscivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Dealing 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Baryonyx brings solid damage output to the table. At 422 base HP, the Aberrant Baryonyx is moderately tough. Stamina sits at 325 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 325 means a solid weight pool.
Taming the Aberrant Baryonyx requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Aberrant Baryonyx is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 35°C. Killing a wild Aberrant Baryonyx yields 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.52 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
