Encountering Tips
How do I kill a dimorphodon? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Donโt piss them off at the north redwood river in mobile. A whole swarm will come after you if you do.
Valguero aberrant area, specifically in the radiation zone now spawns aberrant versions of these guys.
For all you beginners out there do not just randomly attack these guys and expect a easy fight once you hit one a whole army will go after you killing you and probably your take you brought with you. Up so beginners can see.
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!"
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
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.
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
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!
If you go into deep water they canโt attack you!
Donโt aggro it in redwoods. DONโT AGGRO IT IN REDWOODS!
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
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)
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.
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
