What is a dimorphodon used for? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Highly underestimated tame, great damage potential. Keep on your shoulder and triple your damage factor whilst riding Pter others. Also will attack close range targets so you don't whack your dinosaur on accident. Also, can load excess weight onto it because 50% conversion rate to your carry weight
If you are wondering whether to get these just know they are in my opinion one of the best in the game, I dont normally do reviews but these guys are insane, I was with 4 of these, all level 230s and encountered an alpha rex, these guys demolished it in a matter of minutes, all having around 2k health and 500 melee, they are incredible for cave runs especially swamp cave on rag, overall an amazing dino, best shoulder mount
Get several high levels and Make them follow something such as a dodo, put them in a tall, open building on aggressive and drop wild dinos in the pin to level them up. And when war breaks out, make them follow a tank so they can knock flying people off their tames. (Idea from sl1pg8tor)
How to become a warlord just follow these simple steps:
Step1: Tame a lot of these monsters
Step 2 : Tame more
Step. 3 : level them up until you feel satisfied…
Step. 4 : Target a animal of choice as a ermmm… test subject…
Step. 5 : ( the fun part) grab your popcorn, and watch as a cloud of dimorphodons swarm your opponent until they clear up revealing the skeleton of what used to be the target! >:D
( bonus tip don’t target a titanosaur :( unless you don’t want you dimorphs anymore )
Are not affected by oxygen while on your shoulder, so it helps you to find your body if you die because it will be flying right above the water where you died. Also if attacks while on your shoulder, so it can collect bodies for your herbivores, help keep attackers off of you, and can be thrown at Dinos do kill them. There is no reason not to carry one, they are very helpful.
Here's the easiest way to raid every caves, litteraly every caves on the map
First of all, tame a male & female (beware, at the first second you'd start to tranq one, he'd take of, and fly at a huge speed, to attack you back, so, you'd pretty much incapable of taming one, except ridiculously low levels)
2nd point as you'd be able to tame only low level, you'd need to make them attack a lot of low levels creatures, in order to get them some xp
Higher levels would just run away, or kill your futur flying fighter machine
After a while, start to breed them (would need a fully closed build, but really small, your own building would be too large, and they won't breed;
If you'd left any door, any windows open, it would goes aways before completing the process of breeding)
Then, once you'd got a huge amount winged teeth, with good level, you may start training them on higher levels creatures, like a trike
And repeat the process of breeding since beginning etc
After, at least, five or ten breeding and training sessions, you'd start to be able to raid the south cave
Wait, it's might be the hardest way to raid caves, finally...
After sometime of using dilos and dimorphodon as bodyguard, I realized that the dimo are much much better, a bit harder to tame then dilos but they can come a long way. They are much more maneuverable than dilo so they won’t fall behind, except in cave, recommend at most 3. When they attack, they encircle the enemy, the dilos standstill, so the dimo can easily kill any carnivore with 0 casualties. The Theri was my dilo’s nightmare, now with the dimo the Theri is just trash. They can even kill a Rex super quick with enough numbers.
So, if you got all the tools needed to tame these, replace your dilos bodyguard with these as soon as possible.
These guys do a lot of damage, and also doubles as a last ditch meat shield, if your trying to escape a carnivore, if you have a lot of them then you can muffle the screams of your enemys as they get shredded on top of they’re mount… get a little more then you are a dimorphodon army leader who sits on a throne with a dimorphodon cloud carrieing you to victory… and so on.
My new way to hunt: i have one of these and set it on attack target, put it on my shoulder and get a weapon. then i find sometging to kill, get if to attack something but don't take it off. then when the time is right i yeet it at the target and help it kill the target. works on smaller things, but still in testing at the moment.
