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.
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.
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.
Great when wondering around collecting things. If you get in a battle they will help. Hope this helps
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 me๐
Up for the noobs to know
I breed this bad boy and i bring 10 of them to wipe out 3 rex and a low level giga with ease. They are my fav shoulder mount.
Literally OP. Like no creatures can hit it while itโs just flying around you, killing you. Go into a body of water, hide for a while, and they will forget. I saved Sarco I (dead) this way. (She died from megalodons and jellyfish)
If you upgrade weight, it makes a great mini-fridge for your shoulder, since it causes food to last twice as long, like other dinos.
Does any one else remember when wafflegalaxy tried to kill one and died in like 10 seconds because they swarmed him and he died if u do u are a legend
They attack you instead of your mount while fighting them, beware.
You can mutate the hell out of these. Mine pop at 3800 health and 860 melee. After points and imprints i can put them to 4,100 health and 2,100 melee. The cryo sick timer is as fast as a giga so i bring 20 to cave pvp. Throw them all down at once in a safe location. Once they wake you put one on your shoulder and the rest on follow, pop a beer, put them all on aggressive and grab a flame thrower. The most fun you will ever have I swear lol
I saw a pack of these guys kill a Rex, donโt underestimate them.
These little guys, tame no less than 15, the more the merrier, I'm at 30 currently. I don't use them often because ut feels like im cheating. LOLOL They shred through Alpha Raptors and Alpha Carno but they're all 2nd gen at least for the imprint bonus. I level HP Dmg and movespeed to 115% minimum.
- You can grappling hook them in the face and pull them to an easier spot to tame without pulling aggro. Touching structures and lag will break the grappling hook.
- Bolas work and are recommended, as their hitboxes are tiny and their wings block shots. Bolas aggro so make sure you're away from other Dimos
- For more bonus levels, don't feed the Dimo and let it's good drop a lot (starve taming). Then, rush all the Prime Meat you can into it at once.
This allows it to eat more prime meat without it expiring, which allows for MUCH more bonus levels and a faster tame.
If you have the time and resources I suggest taming a few dimorphodons and hyaenodons they work really well killing things
Murdered a freaking level 130 rex with 10 of these things. I killed a bronto too and a couple would be raiders. Ha! Take that enemy giga! I have giant birds!!!!!
DO NOT mess with these guys Iโm writing this bc I just seen a dimorph kill a Lv 140 Rex I was trying to tame so uh,yeh that that your gonna die if you hit these without a flyer or spino.
New best friend. Rides on my shoulder until someoneโs attacking then off he goes and distracts them while I tranq
Just got my first Rex like this :โ)
USE A BOLA
This is my first flying pet USE A BAT TO KNOCK IT OUT AND KEEP IT KNOCKED OUT use cooked meat cooked meat works good
