Can't be carried by an argy in mobile I lost my argy named aorus in the swamp to test that 😭
You probably think these guys are useless and not worth it but if you tame a few low levels they can be SO useful, as they can incubate eggs. Using them on SE to incubate eggs is really handy because it means you don't have to have a generator that will need to be repaired from time to time.
In fjordur you can find them in the jungle swamp realm
Ik people have said this but you can’t pick up dimetrodon on mobile unlike what Dododex says it is really annoying
Pls make this carryable so some of us in ark mobile can tame these without getting killed
If you are on mobile
Trap him in a small trap
Sleep!!
Knock him out
Use soothing balm!
Feed him
You tamed it easly and fast
Works as an A/C Unit providing hypo and hyper insulation, and is potentially more effective then an A/C unit. Insulation provided is based on melee damage. From testing it seems to be that insulation is equivalent to melee stat. So an imprinted dimetrodon with 400% melee provides 400 insulation equivalent to 4 A/C units.
Kill something (Moschops and Phiomia are good because they provide a lot of meat) before shooting it, then lead the Dimetrodon to the corpse as you tranq it. Around halfway through the process or when its low on health stand near the corpse and let the Dimetrodon attack you. It will consume the corpse as it attacks you, and regain health. This way there will be no risk of killing it. You can also use a Snow Owl to heal it if you have one.
A must have in mobile if u wanna 100% imprint a baby dino since there is a chance they'll ask for dimetrodon kibble and is by far,in my opinion,the most annoying kibble a baby can ask for.
These guys only lay eggs on the water,the egg is small asf and their habitat is a swamp which makes it harder
You can find these guys in the swamp area by redwoods, desert near the water and in the swamp heading to the floating islands! I incubated one wyvern egg with two of these guys. I put on my level points into melee.
Kill the high level so low levels can spawn.
Don't tame a high level this thing will chug all your narcotics like beer.
Pfff I wound one lure it by honey and when I almost knocked out it disappear 🙄😒
Easy way to tame (Works if you have Argentavis or Quetzal):
Step 1: Go to the swamp with your Argentavis or Quetzal and search the area for Dimetrodon. Once one is found, pick it up and carry it somewhere safe (recommended: The Dead Volcano, or your base. Just make sure everyone is set to passive).
Step 2: Let it wander around for a while. Knock it out every so often to check on its hunger. If it is not hungry upon knockout, let it wake up and heal for a while. Repeat until it is completely starving.
Step 3: Once one of your checkups on the Dimetrodon via knockout reveals that it is completely starving, grab whatever meat you have as fast as you can (prime meat if its a high level). The starving status causes the Dimetrodon, as well as all other creatures tamed via knockout, to constantly eat every second until they are either tamed or not hungry anymore.
I did all of this myself at the Dead Volcano, which it arrived there via my male Quetzal, Flappy. Argentavis can also pick them up for delivery. Hopefully this helps.
