Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a dimorphodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dimorphodon.
DO NOT start a fight with it near your house, it probably has lots of friends nearby and will attack you your home and your mounts.
These re op. On pvp servers in mobile, there is a glitch that makes them travel infinite distance to attack a targeted foe. They are easily tameable, hit them with a bola, use a slingshot because they have low torpor, and feed them. Have narcotic ready to feed them.
Here’s ten steps to tame this lil thing!
1: make sure it doesn’t have friends near by
2: get about 5 or 8 tranqs but if u use toxanic arrows then make about 4 or 3 bc they get knocked out too fast-
3: find it
4: if you’ve found it shoot it with your tranqs!
5: when knocked out feed it whatever meat you’ve got
6: once it’s tamed bring home
7: once you’re back home do whatever you want
8: find meat with it
9: tame some more so the lil dude can have friends:)
10: go on adventures with it if you’d like to!
Those are all the steps! Have a good one taming it!
Goodbye:>>
If you hit it you will die bola it and tame it will help a lot
If you want to tame one but there’s more than one in one spot, just get far away from them both, shoot the one closest to you (it only takes two or three tranqs for a high lvl) then shoot the one that’s coming after you( it will be easier to hit cause it’s coming straight at you and not moving around
You find them on the beach for quick easy tame just get a bow and tranq arrows x10 one shot should take out a low level the extra is for his buddies if they come and try to kill you
Keep at least 10 meat on you have biotoxin “just kill a jellyfish” for if his/her torpidity goes down
And poof you have a killer drone that will and can murder everything in its way :)
If you are planning on taming one of these Dino’s make sure these guys are alone cause last time I tried to tame one of these he wasn’t alone and my friend got killed 2 times by the Dino they are so annoying to kill.
How to tame a dimorphodon
First you must find a dimorphodon you should have a bola the bola the dimorphodon then you knock it out with your fists and feed the dimorphodon I recommend using Raw Mutton, Raw Prime Meat, Cooked Lamb Chop, Cooked Prime Meat, Raw Prime Fish Meat, Raw Meat, Cooked Prime Fish Meat, Cooked Meat, Raw Fish Meat, and Cooked Fish Meat. (They only eat that in Ark: Survival evolved) then you have a dimorphodon.
Do not Puch and run if you do not have a bola. It will track you down.
When your giving the dimorph food while it is unconsious, treat it like a pteranodon, because they lose torpor faster than they drain food.
Use a bola. Their dive bomb looks like they are unconscious, and even if you only see one, there are probably more, and they will murder you.
Just Bola then KO with fists or arrows. They eat meat and they also tame very quickly but their torpor drain is quick too, so have a few narcotics or narcoberries at hand to force feed it! Also make sure there are no other dimorphs nearby because they will kill you. These fellas are good for attacking all sorts of Dino's since they are small, fast, have good attack and are hard to hit.
When your taming one of these guys, always use prime meat. It only took me 2 or 3 prime meat to tame a lvl 95 one. Now I being him everywhere and he is constantly saving my life. I definitely recommend getting one just to sit on your shoulder in case your in trouble with a theri or a Rex. Oh and never try to tame one while it’s friends are around. That ended badly for me XD.
When you’re taking them, force feed them a biotoxin(harvested from dead jellyfish) or two narcotics, or else they will wake up and they WILL kill you.
Don't do what I did take 2 down with your fists I died twice
Even with a longneck rifle, remember to lead by a LOT when it's flying horizontally past you. Small hitbox + lag = some arrows and darts registering hits on your screen, but not on the server. At 30ms lag it's about a body length inc. tail.
Bolas really are the best plan, to get them to SIT. THE HECK. DOWN. You need to lead more because of the slow travel time for bolas, but getting the dimo down is such a relief.
Aggroing headshots also works, but can do more damage than you intend. Make sure to bring a lot of bolas, and maybe clear the dimo's flight path of other dangers first so you don't, y'know, run directly into an alpha raptor while staring at the sky...
Ghillie suits are great if you're trying to snag one in a dangerous area! Good luck building your death swarm.
I like to keep one on my shoulder while exploring. If set to neutral, they will help you fight anything that attacks you, and is especially nice to take down those annoying meganeura and titanomyras. Exclusively pump meter damage
I use bola and club by hitting hard to the dimorphodon feed some meat and soothing balm and i name him kyle
Bthere was a swarm of 7... tamed all at once
These tiny guys are awesome. Bola one in the head, give it some raw meat and force feed it some narcos or narcotics and you got yourself a tiny death machine.
