Encountering Tips

How do I kill a dimorphodon? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Can tear through flak armor, be warned
I had two Mikey and Leo RIP didn’t last long because I’m not a master at what can kill them but the poop throwing things can kill them and a brontosaurus can kill them I don’t know if any others so far but if I find out I’ll keep you updated.
Found one next to my house and when i went to get tame items and went back it was gone and it was lvl 150 always be prepared
It looks cool when a dimorph is doing its level up animation on your shoulder
There really isn’t a way to kill a dimorph there’s only two way to pretty much kill it 1. To have somthing that’s pretty big 2.have any rideable flyer. Oops almost forgot about three, 3.die.:)
If they attack you while your mount depending on what the animal it is, they will counter attack YOU not your mount. I hope you respawn close but you'll find the animals ok unless something else came along.
If you find one try to tame it and others the attacks you can unleash with just 10 death birds is insane
Watch out, they ignore your mount by doing damage to you instead of doing damage to your dino
When attacking one, all dimprpodons in the area will attack you along with the one you attacked. When this happens, it is best to just take a weapon such as a pike and repeatedly stab the air. You will hit them as they fly by to attack you. Also, be careful even when you are on a mounted dino. They can attack the player while it is still on the dino, and can kill you. This happened to me as well; even though I was on a rex, a swarm of dimorphodons killed me while I was on the saddle. Luckily I was close to my base so I could just respawn and get my stuff back. However, you should still be careful about accidentally attacking on of these. Others can come out of seemingly nowhere.
If you get an army of these and strap a C4 to all of them they are Better than a turret.
While these things are op at destroying dinos, they can be countered by some creatures like stego, anky, and even a spinosaur, (You can only be on two legs to do any damage) I went on a killing spree in the swamp since I had just found out that everything ignores it and killed some dimorphs by accident, only to realize that you can destroy its friends too when they come for you.
If you wanna be like general RAAM from gow get 5 to 10 of these babys to escort you , lv heath then damage and they shred . Also will protect you if you get dismounted whilst on a carno or something. I point and click at brontos and my swarm disintegrates it .
Be careful these things are strong you can find them mostly every were in the forest biomes and beaches if you acedentaly hit them thy will kill you I had raptor named bronze and I acedentaly punched Therese guy luckily bronze was there he killed them even though I could just kill it my self one thing you need remberis if you hit these guys and they run away when they are low health they will come back to kill you until your dead or there dead
Always remember to build a roof on your base, because when I logged out on Hardcore mode when I was admiring the view on my roofless roof patio...my kill report said two of these a level one and a level 12 swooped down and ate my resting body.
Hardcore mode and I lost a lot of engrams...ouch!
They are so cute but are very dangerous. I saw a pack of 3 kill a level 20 sarco! They absolutely perfect to have on your side. You can get easy hide and meat from just sitting in your base and letting you dimes go outside and KILL EVERY THING IN SITE
If you use mobile and you have a raptor, you can use the pounce to pin it to the ground. Has helped me when there is only one remaining but am almost dead.
Watched 5 of these beasts all lvl 100 Shred a 240 Rex in mere seconds.
They hide behind rocks then when u try to eat your meal you've just killed with your argie BLAM dimorphadon swarm
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
