Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a dimetrodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dimetrodon.
If taming on abberation, gather lots of black mushrooms first - they are easy to gather in bulk and give 25 torpor compared to a narcoberrys 7.5
So you can’t pick it up with your bird on mobile? It’s ok after taming this ugly basterd lil peace of shi... I mean lil conditioner puts some wooden walls all around him making sure he is safe go back to your base and click inventory click the second choice on top then click games search his name up then click request that will teleport him to your base good luck out there! Btw I tried to drive him back home with a boat terrible idea.
Bring more narcotics. Just tame a lv70 with soothing balm: 2 raw prime meat and 30 narcotics.
These can now be carried with an argentavis.
Didn’t have to tame with kibble, was lvl 2 and I’m on Xbox so idk but just spam it full of narcs and you’re grand
they also eat prime meat but cannot be picked up I’m when I tried it
USE BIOTOXIN. Get it from Jelly fish =)
I cant pick up dimertodon with argentavis in mobile WTF?
1 do not have any tames when taming including: sarco, or any thing else other than dimetodon.
2 prime raw not normal raw. Raw is a waste of time but still good taming material.
kibble was worth .9% of taming progress on a lvl 60 dimetrodon on an official prim+ xbox server, let people know before they waste their time!!
On primitive + : use a few narco traps in a corridor and then arrows. Their torpor drops fast and their health is low. One of the hardest tame on P+. Be ready to kill a few.
First i use slingshot club and wooden fountain fence to a wild male dimetrodon whin he's unconscious feed him some raw meat and soothing balm and huzzah i name him gordon to the base
Can’t pick them up with an Arge in Mobile :(
As mentioned below, in Mobile you cannot pick up the Dimetrodon with an Argi. You’ll need a Quetzel, or maayyybbbbbeee a Tapajara, idk yet I am still working on it.
They have really fast decreasing torpor and not alone of health however I almost lost 2 rock drake eggs but I tamed a dimetrodon and it helped me loads
Dodo said 600 narcotics and 1.5 hours to tame. Took 1hour 45min and 1150 narcotics. Thanks dodo, glad I always carry extra for just in case.
Hey people have you ever thought it was a waist of materials makeing torches or air vent things to hatch an egg well you don’t need to anymore because if you put some of these next to an egg it will start incubating so no more useing up you materials just tame a few of these and they will get the job done. I hope this helps you not use materials on torches and air vent things and see you in the next tip ;) - A.L.N.A
If you want to tame high level AC, Mutton or Kibble are pretty much needed, following tons of Bio Toxin, it worth the AC purchase cost if you find one with high melee start anyway...
Prim+ players!!! I struggled with these until I saw someone else here mention to use a HARPOON GUN and tranq bolts... literally a life saver. I've killed so many before trying bolts. 150 went down still with half his health. Pop yurts down face to face with you and dimet inside then do a little dance around while shooting it in the back (back fin works. Big target) boom. Down. Great idea I love it. Expensive but worth it.
Dont get stressed over its short wake up time, figure out how many narcotics it will take to fill its torpor from as close to 0 as possible, its about 1 stack for every 4000 torpor points. Place this in the inventory and allow your dimetridon to get as close to waking up as possible and then feed him all the narcotics at once. It will take just over 10 minutes for a stack of narcotics to take affect. This will give you time to look away and do other things.
Keep in mind, lower torpor (lower level dimetridons) may have less than 4000 torpor, in which case they will wake up sooner because they cant use a full stack of narcotics. Higher level dimetridons have closer to 8000 torpor, in which case you can feed them 2 stacks and they will take over 20 minutes to consume the narcotics.
