Tips & Strategies
Apparently these are rare so I tamed one ✨
These guys will never make a move to attack you, in fact, they are more likely to run away, and are rare due to being a snack for kapros and sacros. You can pick one up with a tame kapro, so you can actually save them.
You can only mount these guys when they're swimming!
They don't have the best health, but amazing speed underwater and you can even get oxygen from them. They're somewhat rarer on ARK Mobile, but found in swamps being attacked by 12 local Kapros.
They're skittish like Ovi's and Archy's, but easy to get down and can be carried by Argys or larger, tamed or not.
The easiest way to tame is to pick it with your arge and put it far from water 🏋️♂️
It gets black pearls from trilobites Pass the word
If your struggling a to find one check the nearby sarcos, kapros and snakes in the swamp to see if they are chasing something. Chances are they’re chasing a diplocaulus. Or a phiomia. Those darn phiomias are always getting chased…
They eat kibble differently from other dino.. normal dinos like rex or quetzal eat 1 kibble every 80 food but the diplocalus eats 1 kibble every 120 food.. you need to re-adjust and calculate it again
First of all, this dino is quite useful when it comes to swimming underwater, since it spends it’s own oxygen except for yours and gives you some extra when dismounted. I recommend getting it out of the water first (if it is in water tho) since you know.. Sarcos etc. I lured a dilo to attack it then killed it to knock it out safely. You can also use bolas on these things which is pretty good for a 4 legged dino. And the most important part is that you need to add it weight since its around 150 at lvl approx 10 and you need to like ride it. Also the best thing of it is that it doesn’t require a saddle, I mean you can just ride it after tamed without using anything. Gotta remind their colors are modtly amazing and DON’T LET THE DODODEX PHOTO FOOL YOU THEY ARE SMALLER THAN MOSCHOPS. Hope it helped!
Easiest to find in swamp by standing on the small islands inside. Watch out for Kapro as they'll literally sweep you off your feet <3 Pick up with ANY rideable bird and KO with only a few tranq darts in a safe area. They are fast and will run quickly. Simple kibble is best and very easy to obtain. Can only be ridden while in deep enough water where they are completely submerged. --AK
This creature is one of the few in which the other swamp dwellers have no allegiance to. I would recommend you to take and argentavis and fly the creature out of the swamp and tame it somewhere safer.
you want to hit his feet because it gives the most torpor
Swamp Life for Diplocaulus: Getting teased by the bigger bois and dies :(
I saw it and killed it cause I wanted extra meat
Now I know it can be tamed
And apparently when this thing dives it dissapeared cause I can't find it
I found it accidently after over swamp near green oblisk. It was attacked by terror bird, I tried to save it but it was dead before i reach it. All the scrco and bary stoped me. I was sad.
I flew multiple times arround the same area and oh boy found another one. I quickly grab it with ptera and took it to a safe area and tame it with prime meat. Enjoy infinte oxygen☺️
