Utility Tips

What is a dimorphodon used for? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These little guys work miracles when targeting bee hives. It only takes 1-2 of then with mediocre levels to RIP hives apart from afar. Then, using a grapple + crossbow retrieve the Queen bee and enjoy honey from the safety of your base. Honey is used to calm Leedsichthys, bake Sweet Vegetable Cake for taming and feeding Achatina which provide 100 cementing paste per hour, works as kibble for Dire Bears, and craft Extraordinary Kibble used for Thylas and Yutis among others. Aiming your crossbow just above the hive works well if the Queen gets stuck. Hope this helps!
If you don’t have one you should get one they can be used as tracking missiles put c4 on em target who or what and let loose. They are AWSOME and you can put them on aggressive and they attack whatever is in front of you. They are so hard to hit with a bow most noobs can’t even hit it and when in a pvp battle if you have 5 or more of these they can destroy anything and anyone even alpha raptors.
If you want to bring these while riding a flying dino, which I highly recommend, put all point on their speed. They can easily fall behind while you sprint and because you’re in the air, there won’t be a fell behind notification, they are so small it would be impossible to find them. Their number is enough to make up for damage and health, so focus on speed.
Due to fact they're so tiny, they're really difficult to hit
So it's offer a pretty decent distraction, for wilds creature you're killing
But be aware they're low in health, stamina and damage, so pump these stats
And pump the speed as well ;
it would stuck less behind walls or trees, it would be harder to hit, for both wild and PvP opponents
With higher speed big fly-bug, you'd be protected from larger perimeter, so needs less of them
And the last, but not least interest to upgrade his speed it would increase the amount of food his using by himself, and so it would automatically increase his health regeneration
I don’t know if this is a bug or not but in mobile, if you use a dimorphodon to attack something while you’re extremely far away, like the edge/limit of the scope that you can use thecommand “target”, it does 1000-2000k damage even if its lvl1. Works best when used at larger enemies like a rex or even a tinanosaurus since they keep doing 1000-2000k damage for each hit.
Super Useful ! If you spend time searching for high level tames/Dino wiping for higher lvl spawns. Dimorphs make it easy & save you tons of ammo! Pump melee maybe a few into health. I had 1 die after a couple Dino wipes. Destroyed Everything below Allosaurus/Rexs/Carnos/Argys/Sabers/Scorpions/ Raptors
Hands down def a good tame to have starting out, better yet! if you have a breeding pair !
Excellent for early game when you're going solo on official. Kept this trick to myself, but now that I'm retired from official, I'm sharing some of what I've learned. It's well known dimorphodons are bastards. If you tame a flock, level hardly matters, and pump speed, you're in pretty good shape against raiders. Place them along your walls, keep them fed and leveled. God save the raiders who try to break into your base, for hell hath no fury like an angry swarm of dimorphodons. They'll almost certainly die, too slow to stop the swarm, buying you time to prepare your defense, if they even try again. It's really fun to watch.
