How ARK players tame and knock out the Dimetrodon: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

To the person who said "...mate this with a Baryonix to make a Spino", good one. I had a great chuckle with your tip. Someone make a mod out of this.

You can only use his incubation ability in the day time.

Historically dimetrodons used there large sails to absorb heat and warm them selves up due to them being cold blooded

They should also be much bigger.

I don't care I you me for being a know it all but I just…

Be prepared to sit and tame for a very long time. They use up a lot of narcotics so you don't have much time to look away from the inventory

If you ever read this before taming one bring LOADS of narcotics or bio toxin it's torpor goes out Very fast, faster than a compys!

Amount of narcs used is not correct, a lot more was required.

Use a quetzal to take it to a safer location. Tranq it with darts and bring an appropriate amount of narcotics. Torpor drops as fast as a Giga

Well I guess dimetrodon is on the same level as giga and mosa, they all require queztel kibble to tame .-.

Be warned these animals are very low on health so use traq darts not arrows. Also try to try to drag them out of the swamp because it's so hard to protect them. Best recommendation is that you bring at least 2000 narcos and you knock it out while having an ally tribe guard…

Torpor lose so fast that you can go get a water irl and it already woke up

Was it just for me or does their torpor drop super fast!?!

Just a few tips: 1: Make sure to when taming bring lots of narcotics. They have high torpor but drain super fast. 2: If you can definitely use some sort of flyer or cryopod that can carry this because it is super slow. 3: Works as an air conditioner and gets better temperatures…

Use narcoberries instead of narcotics. This is very important when taming an animal with high torpor drain. The narcoberries take longer for the torpor to rise, and narcotics take a smaller amount of time to rise. This is useful for a dimetrodon tame because narcotics will not…

Can’t be picked up by argys on mobile, don’t waste your time like I did!

I suggest leading them away from the swamp before attempting to knock out, as there are plenty of dangers in the swamp and it is much easier.
