Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a dimorphodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dimorphodon.
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
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
Just bola it
heres a tip tame a ungodly amount of them and rule the ark
that easy
To do a mass tame do this.
Step one:
Build a 2x2 foundation,
Step two: place a wood Dino gate ( make sure it opens inward) on one side and use doors on the others.
Step three:open the Dino gate and go find dimorphodons, shoot one and get their aggro.
Final step: run into the trap and let all the dimorphs get in and close the gate. Now you have a bunch of dimorphodons you can knock out.
If you wanna get your hands on these just know these few things
1. They spawn in deserts and swamps mostly
2. If you have lots of bolas don’t worry about them just bola them all and tranq
3. Just 1 can kill a level 150 Rex
4. Torpor drain is high food drain not so much
5. 5 or more is a force to be reckoned with to every creature and if you can get lots nothing stands a chance
I got 13 of these 2 females got eggs and one egg have me 2 baby’s they are both still smol
Got taming these down to a science. Even when they’re in groups.
Have a good stack of bolas and your knock out tool in your hot bar. Piss one off and run along a flat area, preferably a beach. As they’re chasing you, run, turn and throw a bola, run, turn and throw another, etc.
When they’re all bola’d, go to the first one you tied and knock them out while going down the line. Careful as knocking them out could piss off other dimos that weren’t aggro’d. Throw a stack of meat in them and watch the topor. That easy.
Attack thru your armor and rode Dino. A flock of 10 can vaporize an entire cave in minutes
The tiny obscure hitbox is a pain to shoot at .
Use a bola and then line up a quick headshot or two for a super easy take !
Just watch out as they often don't travel around alone .
Recommend taming them they kill u in boss fights and I have seen races die from sooooooo many times it's scary, make sure to get female and male to breed bc u can put them on turret mode and make them follow something then they will destroy everything around your base and I mean EVERYTHING, I have started building an army and they are OP
I’ve just shot one out of the sky with tranq arrows. Up if they’re good tames.
Really easy to tame, just a pain in the a.. to knock out, as it's a fast flyer with really tiny hit box (you have to wait it lands)
And they're rarely alone, so if you're trying to knock out one, you'd be surrounded soon
So you want a stego football bola tranq and feed
I meant to shoot one of these with an arrow... but it was a tranq arrow. Sooo, now I have a demi bird
Bruh I just saw one and I was like “that looks cool imma go tame it.” Thank god I didn’t immediately hit it with my club.
One of these things are so hard to kill even with a pteranodon! 🤔
Hit it with 6 tranq arrows and slap 50 meat in him then grab a stack of narcoberries then your set
How to tame a Dimorphodon
What you will need: tranq arrows + bow, meat(prime is preferred), some armor, a spear or pike, narcotics
1. Gather your resources
2. Head out to a swampy area( a tough mount like a carbonemys or a triceratops is reccomended for the area)
3. Locate a dimorphodon, perferably solitary
4. Clear out the threats in the area
5. Knock out the dimorphodon you want and use your spears or pike to clear out the rest(unless you want to tame the flock)
6. Put meat and narcotics in its inventory.
7. MONITOR THE TORPOR BAR CAREFULLY. They have a high drain rate. Use your narcotics between it eating the meat.
8. Finish taming and place your new friend upon your shoulder for safekeeping
Up if you found this helpful.
I would say every one is scared of home because he does a lot of damage and a small hit box and they do a lot of damage I say one going in a straight line and I went behind it and shot it with a tranq arrow and it was already out not even a fight.
