I have seen two of them take down a Rex no problem
The thing with these birds is they always attack from behind. The only way to escape is to outrun it.
Don’t try to use a club to knock it out make sure to bring tranquilizer arrows. Or else 🫣
When your giving the dimorph food while it is unconsious, treat it like a pteranodon, because they lose torpor faster than they drain food.
Was flying on my quetz and I watched a level 8 and 12 take out a level 56 Rex.
Even with a longneck rifle, remember to lead by a LOT when it's flying horizontally past you. Small hitbox + lag = some arrows and darts registering hits on your screen, but not on the server. At 30ms lag it's about a body length inc. tail.
Bolas really are the best plan, to get them to SIT. THE HECK. DOWN. You need to lead more because of the slow travel time for bolas, but getting the dimo down is such a relief.
Aggroing headshots also works, but can do more damage than you intend. Make sure to bring a lot of bolas, and maybe clear the dimo's flight path of other dangers first so you don't, y'know, run directly into an alpha raptor while staring at the sky...
Ghillie suits are great if you're trying to snag one in a dangerous area! Good luck building your death swarm.
I like to keep one on my shoulder while exploring. If set to neutral, they will help you fight anything that attacks you, and is especially nice to take down those annoying meganeura and titanomyras. Exclusively pump meter damage
They're annoying, I got a pack of it chasing me and my argentavis and kill us both,, no matter how fast,, you can't shake them lil missiles
Awesome tames. Keep one on your shoulder to protect you, just keep an eye out you don't throw it by accident. They can run caves but you may lose some especially if you go through water. Use a Tapejara on patrol and have a murder of 5 or more kill damn near anything. Turn off their resource gathering or it'll be stuck with too much meat.
Bola it and then punch it they only take a few hits and it saves tranq arrows.
So you want a stego football bola tranq and feed
Breed for speed: When using 5+ following you on a flyer like a Torpe. You can move faster than most mounts. It makes them a flying missile much harder to hit. If you aim your x on the rider they will attack the rider not the tame. And with 50/50 speed/dam just a few hits and pvp over. Got jumped by 3 wyv and won so…
These re op. On pvp servers in mobile, there is a glitch that makes them travel infinite distance to attack a targeted foe. They are easily tameable, hit them with a bola, use a slingshot because they have low torpor, and feed them. Have narcotic ready to feed them.
Lil ol moon me took a stroll and attacked 1 by accident, that was the end of strolls for me.
Beginners do not attack these they take abbsalutly hours to take and hotpot runs out so fast
To counter dimorphodons it’s very easy. The pteranodon barrel roll. Gotta keep landing for stamina though.
