Tips & Strategies
One is an easy kill. Five might kill a tame. Twenty will flay you alive. Don’t underestimate these little guys, you never fight just one, the whole flock shows up too kill you. I’ve seen them kill argys, griffons, allosaurs and I’m almost certain that they can kill titanosaurs. All it takes is one miss click and 50 of them are swooping down at you to bite your face off. Hiding under water won’t save you, they’ll just hover above you and attack you when you come up for air. Maybe an assault rifle can kill them, although I only play on the mobile version I often read about other DLCs and flamethrowers sound best for dealing with them.
More Dimorphodon Encountering Tips
Once I just tamed my max lvl Pteranodon and I then it happened one dimorphodon came out of know where I guess I hit it or something earlier and it swooped in and hit my brand new pteranodon and just like that they were attacking each other and they couldn’t hit each other in the air and they went so high I couldn’t recall it and just like that I never saw my Pteranodon again
1 ^ = 1 prayer for my Pteranodon
they killed my quetzal, THEY KILLED MY QUETZAL!!! AHHHHH
Valguero aberrant area, specifically in the radiation zone now spawns aberrant versions of these guys.
Get a C4 and attach it to one of these and then whistle attack. "Hunter killer drone deployed!"
I Spent ages farming with my Pteranodon but the one of these guys where sitting their so innocently so I hit it then all a sudden I see 15 or more of these dims and they killed my Pteranodon and I lost my loot ) :
Beware of these things
Cuz they are Absolute Monsters.
A Group of 2-6 easily Shredded a lv. 40-ish Spino like it was paper.
I went to raid a base with 4 buddies, a rex, 3 carnos, and a bronto with a platform saddle and cannons. All we heard was a whistle and i swear about 50 of these little devil's swarmed the whole group, killing everyone in the group and one carno, the turrets shredded everything else, but the rex must have ran off and we never got a death message so its still out there in the jungle.
A tip for beginners:
If you attack these guys with your dinosaur be warned...
Even during riding your Mount, they will kill you first, not your dinosaur…
And they do tons of damage and are not that easy to hit with smaller dinosaurs (small hitbox)
Try to avoid them early game
I saw a pack of these guys kill a Rex, don’t underestimate them.
A good tip is to bola it while it is dive bombing you this saved my life up if this helps you
