Encountering Tips

How do I kill a dimorphodon? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Valguero aberrant area, specifically in the radiation zone now spawns aberrant versions of these guys.
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
player attacks one of them (rookie mistake๐๐)(new player behavior ๐๐๐๐๐)
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.
Get a C4 and attach it to one of these and then whistle attack. "Hunter killer drone deployed!"
If you go into deep water they canโt attack you!
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 dinosaurโฆ
And they do tons of damage and are not that easy to hit with smaller dinosaurs (small hitbox)
Try to avoid them early game
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
When in areas that have many dimorphadon remember to be careful and not to hit one by accident when fighting other creatures as you can easily be overwhelmed.your mount will not be able to save you as they deal damage directly to the rider.
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.
Donโt aggro it in redwoods. DONโT AGGRO IT IN REDWOODS!
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)
I saw a pack of these guys kill a Rex, donโt underestimate them.
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

Unexpectedly strong shoulder mount but slow on its own
There really isnโt a way to kill a dimorph thereโs only two way to pretty much kill it 1. To have somthing thatโs pretty big 2.have any rideable flyer. Oops almost forgot about three, 3.die.:)
Im at 25/40 melee mutations and wow, I can clear any cave really easy. Must have official.
I was on a hill and thought it wouldnโt hit me back when I attacked it so I hit it with a bow and everything was going well until I SEEN LIKE 5 MORE ARISE I was like โthis is light workโ until I realized that they do LOTS OF DAMAGE and they killed my dilo shortly after they killed me
