What are tips for diplocaulus? Tips and strategies for diplocaulus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Somehow I managed to find one by mistake using spy glass... Little cute dude was chilling near Trees of swamp and suddenly a running crocodile attacked him and ate him 🙂 ... I never saw these creatures again anywhere
Every flier can pick this up so build a wood foundation 4 wood walls and a ladder or 2 and use your flier to put it in there then knock out and bring narcotic in case.
These guys are a primitive scuba gear. If you play on primitive these guys are a necessity for deep sea crates.
This guy when teamed with a Basilo can be used for the underwater artifact cave.
Get a Bary and look for them when u find one get an argy and pick them up and tame them in a safer place
Mostly found in swamps..it will run away at sight...they don't eat berries only meat..Bola it and use a club instead of tranq arrows but if you want to be careful yea sure use tranq arrows.protect it due to sarcos and baryonyx will attack it
If you have trouble finding one, just go to crystal isles in the tropical area(more specifically, the one with some crocodile) and search around the coast, you'll have much more probability of finding one and taming it without much danger
This was done on mobile.
Finding and catching:
Diplocaulus is found in the swamps I'd say they're uncommon but predators will kill them if they're nearby making them hard to find. I strongly recommend using a flying Dino when looking for one I used a pteranodon for it but you can use whatever can pick it up. They're pretty simple to find but DO NOT TRY TO TAME IN THE SWAMP. Unless your really prepared I wouldn't recommend risking it. When I was catching it I picked it up with my ptera and put it in a taming pen at my base. When picking it up wait for it to be on land, because if it's in the water it's much harder to pick up or maybe it's not possible I don't know(I spent hours trying to pick one up in the water and died many times). It may take a while to find one on land it'll save you a lot of trouble.
Note: don't try to go for one that's already being attacked by another Dino especially kaprosuchus
Knocking out and taming:
In the pen knocking it out is simple just use tranqs or darts, also keep in mind the health you don't want it to die. When it's knocked out taming is like any other Dino just put the kibble or meat and wait. I starved mine to make the taming a bit faster and found that the hunger decreases relatively quick and you can speed that up by sleeping while it's torpor is around 3/4 or more. Not really much to say it's torpor drains slow so you won't need to many narcotics unless your starving it and by the end of the tame you should have yourself a newly tamed diplocaulus.

Gonna have to chase em around, I saved it from a sarco and then had to find it, chase it, and tranq it. I suggest taming it to save it
If your in ragnarok just go to the desert ponds or lakes and hover over with a griffin straight down and shoot it with your rifle
For pve servers: you can pull these with grappling hooks but if the spook they will come free, hook them real it WAY out then you can jump on a flyer to cart it home - just fly high enough you don’t drag it into something bad.
Run. it’s a god. It’s hard to find because it’s a very powerful creatures and hordes of creatures were used to take one out. It’s on par, if not, stronger than a dodo. Just. Run. Up So Noobs can see.
Bring a pteranodon or other flyer capable of grabbing. Diplocaulus spawn in swamps, and if you don’t pick it up to tame elsewhere, it will almost certainly be eaten by a crocodile. Even if it isn’t brutally eaten alive, you also happen to be on the menu for kapros, and may be killed or pulled away from the defense of your attempted tame.
Why does every swamp creature hate this guy
I swear to god I have found 7 dimetrodons but not a single diplocaulus it’s so rare in mobile and am searching exactly in its respawn zones
