Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Baryonyx as a tamable, piscivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the DMG category.

Starting at 440 Health, it's reasonably durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 325 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 325 means generous inventory space.

To tame the Baryonyx, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Baryonyx is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild Baryonyx is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.52 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
