HOW TO TAME A DIMOPHORDON
Step 1. Get around 20 meat.
Step 2. Craft one bola and narcotic or bio toxin*
Step 3. Find a Dimophordon and make sure they dont have one of their buddies with them.
Step 4. Bola it and knock it out with your FISTS.
Step 5. Feed it meat and protect it while it tames. (If the unconsciousness gets low feed it a bio toxin or narcotics.)
Step 6. ENJOY YOUR NEW DIMOPHORDON!
You might not get it the first time and thats okay!
*Kill jellyfish and punch it to get bio toxin
LIKE IF THIS HELPED OR YOU WANT OTHERS TO SEE THIS!
Combine a flock of 5 or more with a spyglass and you have a primitive sniper when whistle attack target on a unsuspecting player while scoped
I saw a few take down a Rex.. its scary.
Strap a C4 and make it attack your target...
Really really good for attacking or defending a base because they attack the player not the mount they are riding
How to tame a dimorphodon
1. Make sure it's friends are not around
2. Bola it or it will rip you to pieces
3. Knock it out by using fists or using tranq arrows
4. Feed it meat
5. Use a ton of narcotics I recommend bio toxin it's torpor goes down faster than a pteradon
6. Don't feed it alot of meat it eats fast
7. Enjoy your new strong shoulder pet!
Warning: these can kill almost everything so don't go infront of it when it's bola'd two low lvls killed my high lvl trike!
If you knock this monster out with your fists and tame it with narcoberries and cooked fish meat, you are slightly above average.
These things are OP! If you tame a high level one they make an amazing shoulder pet (surpassed only by ferox I would say). Mine does like 250 dmg a bite and it works well if you have an aviary of them. If this helps, please up!!
I saw a 225 Rex once ran to get gear come back and watched it get killed by one of these shits up if you feel my pain
How2Tame #9: Dimorphodon
Welcome to How2Tame, and I, Zeta, will now teach you how to tame a Dimorphodon!
1. First, gather lots of meat and craft some bolas. Get narcotic too.
2. Sight a Dimorphodon and shoot it with a crossbow. Make sure the bolas are in your hot bar so that you can easily switch to them when you have your future tame's attention.
3. Once you bola the Dimorphodon, quickly punch it until it falls asleep. Feed it the meat and occasionally narcotic if the torpor falls too fast. Soon you will have your very own Dimorphodon!
4. Name your tame and make sure to feed it every ARK day.
All right, everyone, I hope this helped! My episodes are listed below, and good-bye for now!

Try taming the ones that are alone, never attack a group, they are sky piranhas
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
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!
Easily the easiest tame in ARK.
I desided tame them.
15 minutes later I had 6.
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!).
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.
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 :)
- 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.
