Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a diplocaulus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplocaulus.
If you have trouble finding one, just go to crystal isles in the tropical area(more specifically, the one with some crocodile) and search around the coast, you'll have much more probability of finding one and taming it without much danger
Get a Bary and look for them when u find one get an argy and pick them up and tame them in a safer place
These are bola-able so u can tranq them and tame
Really good dino to tame and the oxegen is very good and knocks out easy i would recomend
You can use raw fish if you don't have time for cooked prime meat
They are in redwood swamp lake you can just carry them with argy
If your in ragnarok just go to the desert ponds or lakes and hover over with a griffin straight down and shoot it with your rifle
Flat face lizard
This was done on mobile.
Finding and catching:
Diplocaulus is found in the swamps I'd say they're uncommon but predators will kill them if they're nearby making them hard to find. I strongly recommend using a flying Dino when looking for one I used a pteranodon for it but you can use whatever can pick it up. They're pretty simple to find but DO NOT TRY TO TAME IN THE SWAMP. Unless your really prepared I wouldn't recommend risking it. When I was catching it I picked it up with my ptera and put it in a taming pen at my base. When picking it up wait for it to be on land, because if it's in the water it's much harder to pick up or maybe it's not possible I don't know(I spent hours trying to pick one up in the water and died many times). It may take a while to find one on land it'll save you a lot of trouble.
Note: don't try to go for one that's already being attacked by another Dino especially kaprosuchus
Knocking out and taming:
In the pen knocking it out is simple just use tranqs or darts, also keep in mind the health you don't want it to die. When it's knocked out taming is like any other Dino just put the kibble or meat and wait. I starved mine to make the taming a bit faster and found that the hunger decreases relatively quick and you can speed that up by sleeping while it's torpor is around 3/4 or more. Not really much to say it's torpor drains slow so you won't need to many narcotics unless your starving it and by the end of the tame you should have yourself a newly tamed diplocaulus.

Using a crosbow have chance of killing it it so i recommend using tranq dirts for this it's like archa kibble or raw prime meat
There’s a area in the spawn we’re predators rarely spawn but the diplocaulus spawn takes a long time tho it’s a water area and no predators and if you wanna time it underwater there’s fish that’s gonna bite you but other than that it’s safe.
If I’m woring I’m sorry
For pve servers: you can pull these with grappling hooks but if the spook they will come free, hook them real it WAY out then you can jump on a flyer to cart it home - just fly high enough you don’t drag it into something bad.
These guys are a primitive scuba gear. If you play on primitive these guys are a necessity for deep sea crates.
If it’s a low level bola and shoot it with tranq darts simple as that. If it requires over 4-5 darts use a bola, place 4 foundations around it for both sides front and back, then put 1 wall on the side closest to the tame for each foundation. Seems a bit overkill but if they have room to swim you will be playing a lot of cat and mouse
Sooooo.... No one told me and I haven't seen anything about it but.... THESE MUTHA FUKAS can apparently JUMP through WINDOWS!!! I was in the process of taming one in my taming house/room that has windows so I can shoot stuff without it running out the door. We he didn't need a door cause he had a WINDOW!
Best way to keep this creature alive while taming is to run it far away from danger. more often than not a kapro or sarco will come and kill while tamining.
Ok so I though this was going to be hard af to do it was easy I used a pterodactyl and stalked him till he came out I left to go grab some more food for me and I came back and he was out of the water I fell down and got back up very quickly thank lord bc u wanna die go the the swamp so I was scared for my life that everyone was going to die and I just got back quickly but it worked out my pterodactyl got full Energy to pick up and fly to the safe place (no place is safe) he went out so BOOM I got him we flew and I dropped him bc I was going to fall and he was running away so I shot him 3 times tranq arrow and he was down I was slow bc he can die quickly gave him meat and now I am waiting which is taking forever going to name him Dip and Chips
First . You have argentavis because swam water is very dangerous. Second. Find Diplocaulus little bit hard you find Diplocaulus then pick up diplo use argentavis and go to save place like your base and then knock use Tranq arrow and Tranq dart and give prime meat and your diplo tame. Thank you bye
One of my fav Dino’s. If you some reason like to travel through water use these guys cuz you can take breathe from them and basically breathe underwater
