HOW TO TAME A DIMOPHORDON

Step 1. Get around 20 meat.

Step 2. Craft one bola and narcotic or bio toxin*

Step 3. Find a Dimophordon and make sure they dont have one of their buddies with them.

Step 4. Bola it and knock it out with your FISTS.

Step 5. Feed it meat and protect it while it tames. (If the unconsciousness gets low feed it a bio toxin or narcotics.)

Step 6. ENJOY YOUR NEW DIMOPHORDON!

You might not get it the first time and thats okay!

*Kill jellyfish and punch it to get bio toxin

If I could have 40 of one type of creature in ark, it would be this one. If you have at least 4 of them, you can look through a spyglass, press attack target, and watch your heat-seeking missiles wipe the target off the face of the earth in seconds. They are easy to tame too, as long as they are alone. If you hit one then all of them will immediately attack, swooping in to deal way too much damage and then swooping out of range. It is smart to bola them but I just use crossbow/tranq arrow. They only need one tranq arrow and their out. They tame quickly, but their torpor drains fast so you’ll need one biotoxin/two narcotics. It is easily worth it though. In groups they can take down much larger prey, but on their own they can easily die so make a pack before going on a hunt. Also don’t send them to attack brontos, Ankys, or stegos unless they have very large numbers! Rip Dimorphie, Morpha, Green Rocket and Blue Streak. All in all they are AMAZING creatures.

Everyone says they take down mostly anything... BE CAREFUL around stegos! Stego tail can easily hit flying dinos :(

^ Up so others don't suffer the same loss I did

RIP Momo

Combine a flock of 5 or more with a spyglass and you have a primitive sniper when whistle attack target on a unsuspecting player while scoped

I tamed a lvl 15 female one and named it Nova and she was really good. She killed a whole pack of lvl 20 carbonemys without taking any damage and I didn’t do anything except stand there and watch in shock and awe. This is a MUST tame for everyone who reads this. I was only lvl 10 at the time I tamed it and now I’m lvl 40 and this creature has never failed to impress me.

It you put them on aggressive and perch em on your shoulder, they warn you of any danger with a scream. Usually it’s a diplo or a compy. If it weren’t for my dimo I would’ve died hundreds of times, he once yelled so I left and the next day i went back and say a giga killing a pack of raptors.

Strap a C4 and make it attack your target...

725 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Oct 8, 2016   Report

Really really good for attacking or defending a base because they attack the player not the mount they are riding

One time my dimorph just ran off for about a week. When I found it it had 3 stacks of raw meat and 9 raw prime

(Best to tame a high level but a low level is fine) If you have one, name is "Creeper" and stack and attach as much C4 detonators to the Dimorphodon as much as you can. Now all you need to do is whistle it to a near by creature and press the button, and you'll have yourself a mobile/re-usable Kamikaze! 😀

These things in packs can take down rexs, and carnos. Reason being because of there small hit box and high damage. And in packs they can melt many dinos.

46 points   🔧 Utility   Jul 30, 2024   Report

These things are crazy against giant dinos with big hit boxes, i saw a level 170 bronto with 15k health and i tamed 4 of these killers and the took him down in less than a 47 seconds, thier attack rate is so high that it makes their damage look ridiculus,i am gonna see if it is the same for titanosaur

They're actually decently strong for a shoulder pet, you could invest some points into their combat stats and have a decently strong bodyguard incase you aren't on your mount

How to tame a dimorphodon

1. Make sure it's friends are not around

2. Bola it or it will rip you to pieces

3. Knock it out by using fists or using tranq arrows

4. Feed it meat

5. Use a ton of narcotics I recommend bio toxin it's torpor goes down faster than a pteradon

6. Don't feed it alot of meat it eats fast

7. Enjoy your new strong shoulder pet!

Warning: these can kill almost everything so don't go infront of it when it's bola'd two low lvls killed my high lvl trike!

Get one of each gender and breed a whole army

I’m so glad I found this out, if you take a dimorphdon you can force feed it stim berries and it will do the same as the “pig” by pooping SMALL ANIMAL FECES and you can use it for a beetle so you can get fertilizer and oil. Please give a like so everyone can see
