Tips & Strategies
You can bola them so shoot with tranq arrows and SLAP some meat on them you need a hand full of narctics as there torpor will go down fast have fun with your dimorphodon
If you go into deep water they can’t attack you!
Would not recommend fighting one of these even if you only see like one of them around you once you hit it thousands come out of nowhere and murder you
Easily the easiest tame in ARK.
I desided tame them.
15 minutes later I had 6.
Don’t aggro it in redwoods. DON’T AGGRO IT IN REDWOODS!
To the guy who told us how to knock out a dimorph,DONTISTEN TO HIM use a tranq arrow to the dimorph,all u need is one,punching it till unconscious attracts ALL the dimorph near u,but if u just simply tranq it,then dont even know a friend was tranqed,and tamed :3
This is just a tip for a general gameplay strat- not sure where to put general gamepkay stuff like this...sorry. Anyway, putting all your tames that stay at your base on Neutral is *the* way to do it. This way, they won't get into unnecessary fights, but if an arse of a dino decides to say an unwelcomed "Hello. It's me..." then they can at least defend them AND your base. Neutral puts your dinos on alert mode so that even if a wild dino starts attacking even your fence post, your dinos will whip into action and defend the base. Also, while out on tames, neutral mode allows your dino to protect itself and you while you throw it that damn kibble in a whirlwind of panick. *Literally* the best mode to be on at all times (of course, it'll work as well as per what lvl your dino friends are, but they'll still put up a valiant fight regardless!).
It is always a good plan to have a room of these. Even just having 3-5 is effective. They will fend off attackers brilliantly if you put the right stats and use them wisely!
I once tried to tame a lvl 300 allo but when I got back with bio toxin there were 100s of dimorphs that attacked it and killed it.
If can try tame one or tame many “optional” have these murder machines, and if a random Dino attacks or if it’s a raid just whistle and make sure there on neutral then, watch the chaos.ahh those days.
You will need this to tame it
1. 3-4 Bolas incase u miss
2. Tranq arrows and a bow or u can use your hands.
3. Give it raw meat
3.5 Feed it narcotics if it's about to wake up.
4. Congrats on ur new dino :)
When tamed
1: can be used as a distraction of have enough hp
3: now they can deal with trikes with none dying
5: can protect you from raptors, troodons, and other small carnivores
10: now you can kill carnos with ease (with support from you with a gun or crossbow
15: I have this many and some have 1k hp, can kill rexes, spinos, and therizinosaur with little effort
My xp multiplier for my file was about 5 and it can get them to have at least 200 hp pretty quick. Thanks for reading this and up if this was useful!
Bola them when on they have landed. KO one with tranq arrow to the head and repeat to all nearby dimorphs. Select which ones you want to tane based on level and sex and kill the rest.
What ever you do don't run up to it and punch it unlike his cousin the pteranodon he will fight back I learned the hard way I had tamed my first dino a moschops when I saw him landing on a big rock and since pteranodon don't attack when you hit them I thought I would be able to kill the dimorphodon but instead of me killing him he killed me he kept flying up biting me and flying away and so on until he ended up killing me😇
Up for the noobs to know
These little guys are great for base Defence. The first technique I mostly only use to defend against quetzals is strapping C4 to a low level dimorph, then whistle him to attack the quetz, and trigger the C-4. Just as he's closing in to bite the quetz. You might need four or five of these guys to down the quetz, but if you ask me, 5 10 minute tames are worth it for a game that probably took the opposition a few hours to tame. Another technique like to use to take out rexes gigas, and other tanky dinos, is go around, behind them with a swarm of dimorphs (don't do this against Brontos or any Dino with a huge AoE attack) Then whistle attack (which is ".") on the rider. They will shred through him so fast, he won't know what even happened. After the rider is off, you can easily trap the giga in a large bear trap, kite it off a cliff (or away from your base) or just kill it, when the Dino doesn't have a rider, it sacrifices attack speed which is a very vital part of PvP.
