How I tamed my level 20 (it was level 29 after I tamed it) was lead it out of the swamp a little and let it focus on my argent after I looked at the area around it. After that, I fed it raw meat and used BIO TOXIN, NOT NARCOTICS

This guy was actually quite easy for me to find since I live right near a swamp! He took about 7-8 tranq arrows to get knocked out and maybe 15 narcotic to keep asleep! Bring lots of narcotics with you because they wake up fast

U need at least 500 biotoxin to tame it and it takes a while so make sure its a safe place

I’m not sure when it was updated, but these can now (May 2018) be picked up by an Argy as well as Quetz. This makes taming them much easier as it can be picked out of the swamp earlier, and the random imprint kibble easier to get!

If you want to tame one, please use Quetzal Kibble. The other food items take way too long D;

If taming bring lots of narcotics (torpor drops very quickly

Please. PLEASE don’t make the same mistake I did. I spent 30 minutes raging and chasing these guys down on my argy in THE SWAMP, trying to pick them up. Then learning you can’t pick them up with argies on mobile, even though the DODODEX says they can. When you can pick up raptors and kapros and an abundance of other things that are bigger than a dime

It your knocking it out around other dimetrodons be careful as they will attack you too!

This thing wakes up as if I didn’t shove all my narcotics down it’s throat just you try to tame them bring a lot of narcotics

For ark mobile just have things to build a pen around it when it is knocked out and request it (to request dinos got to the player menu and there should be a button that says “tames” above your stats, press that and tap a Dino’s name and a button that has “request” will be able to be pressed you will not miss the request button, also requesting dinos tp’s them to the bed that you/ your tribe own that is CLOSEST TO THE DINO NOT THE PLAYER)

Recent update means torpor time is much longer (4x?) than it says here

You can knock it out by a wooden club

Bring a friend. Because if you have to leave for the bathroom you won't make it back in time.

27 DAMN NARCOS FOR A LEVEL 1 EVEN WITH DA KIBBLE

If you think you have enough narcotic, bring a couple hundred more just in case. If you aren't using Quetz eggs, bring a couple thousand more.

Need way more narcotic if no boosted server...more than dododex says!

The higher the level, the more torpor. Fill up torpor by 1,000s. For example a level 150 has about 7,400 torpor. Wait till it drops to 1,000 then pump 6,000 worth of torpor(150 narcotics). That’ll give you about a 20 minute window to do what you need to do till it gets up to 7,000 and drop again. Rinse and repeat. If you KO a low level it won’t even have 2,000 torpor so it’s about 5 minutes for the torpor to rise before you have to pump more in. Have tribe mate bring mutton. Or kite it to your base with a fridge/preserving bin full of mutton and KO in there ;)

If you have time, high level is worth it. They’ll have more health and food so they’ll survive starvation, “accidents”, friendly fire, etc. better than a low level would. Plus, easier to raise :D

You should check your surroundings for kapros and titanoboas before trying to tame.

Since the nerf of Dimetrodons spawn rates on the center, they were much harder to find, but when looking in the swamps don't look in the water, look on the land patches, I found one there!

Fire tranq darts or arrows as fast as you can, or they'll shake off torpor and you'll end up killing them instead.
