Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a dimorphodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a 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!
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!).
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 :)
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.
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
- 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.
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
Flying terrors, avoid at all costs.
As they don’t land often I find it easiest to eat rare flowers which agros them. Then all you have to do is walk backwards and either bola them as they fly straight at you or just tranq them straight out of the air
Btw this thing is strong it might look weak but it’s not
These guys are literally one of the best early game tames. They don't have much health, but they do a lot of damage for a creature their size. It's also hard for baddies to get to them cuz they're small and they fly. All you have to do is find one crawling, (it's really hard to get one that's flying) and bola it, next knock it out with a club, then give it some meat and wait. You might need some narcoberries cause they don't stay unconscious for long.
If it’s dark blue name it Phantom (Minecraft). Because its wings look like those of a Phantom
DUDE LET ME PUT IT IN NAME IDEAS
Warning, I shot one with a crossbow and it almost died, careful
I hatched 2 dimorphidon eggs and got 2 twins thats sick😁👍
Grab a tribe mate, bola it then knock it out and make sure to have your tribe mate watch your back, feed it meet and watch its torpor, now that you have one upgrade melee damage and health, and know you have an unstoppable killing machine.
Torpor runs out stupidly fast. It’s small and annoying. Make sure no other ones are around or else ☠️. Dont face it with 1 Dino if there are 25. My friends quetzal died to 50 or these. Don’t take one in the swamp. There are many in the swamp. Feed it meat normal meat or fish.
When taming you don’t want to tame the ones in a group.They are pretty easy tames if you don’t attack em in packs one tranc to the head and it’s out.It is neutral meaning it will only attack if you attack it.After you take a pack of these guys they can wine out slot of things.
Things to know:
You need a decent bit of meat+heavy narcotics to tame
It's all or nothing, one dimo can't do nothing, but 5+ dimos is an op swarm
Be sure that if you hurt it, it either dies of is tamed, or you WILL be swarmed by them
I’m on the beginner settings for the switch so it was super easy lol I just bola one and shot it with a tranq arrow it went down immediately and it tamed surprisingly fast with prime meat my argen killed his friends watch out for them I didn’t know they all swarm u
Tip, do not overdose on bio toxin. It will kill them.
