Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a dimorphodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dimorphodon.
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.
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.
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.
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
So you want a stego football bola tranq and feed
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.
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.
Don’t try to use a club to knock it out make sure to bring tranquilizer arrows. Or else 🫣
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
