Tips & Strategies
If you are looking to tame one of these, I don’t recommend their native swamps as they tend to get killed midway through the tame. Instead, here is what I would do:
1.Go to whatever dungeon is easiest for you if it is active.
2.Hunt for a Diplocaulus.
3.Kill it and harvest it’s implant.
4.Suicide in the dungeon to be taken back to the island.
5.Check how much amber you have. If you do not have enough, click on the amber icon twice in your inventory. Click on the video add button and watch the entire thing.
6.When the add ends you will be given 15 minutes before you can watch another. To resolve this, open settings and go to general, and then find date and time. Once in there, move the minutes counter forward by 16 minutes. Then watch another add. Repeat until you have the amount the implant wants. (On apple, travel between apps by clicking home arrow twice to bring up the background apps)
7. Travel to the nearest obelisk and revive, bola, Tranquilizer and feed.
Hope it helps.
More Diplocaulus Taming & KO Tips
Super easy tame. Knock out with and bow and trans. Feed it raw meat. Boom 💥 TAMED!
This baby don't need a saddle to ride and gives you oxygen while riding and also supplies you with a breath 🫁 or 2 under water.
✨ANNND another thing it is SUPER fast under water 💦
All these tips here tells you how to tame it... but what they fail to mention is the fact, you have to breed it on land, can’t move the egg and the baby HAVE to STAY IN THE WATER!! Don’t push the baby on land or it WILL EXPLODE!!!! I just watch my baby explode right before my eyes!!! Never have I seen a Dino exposed before!!!
How to tame diplocaulus
Where to find:
Diplocaulus spawn in swaps but they are rare but many of them spawn in dungeons.
Taming details:
Diplocaulus are knockout tames and they eat meat
Problems:
Diplocaulus are always getting eaten by everything so if find one keep it safe also diplocaulus have low health so you might accidentally kill it
Abilities when tamed:
Diplocaulus can only be ridden underwater and they dont need saddles and when you ride it yoy wont loose oxygen but the diplocaulus will and diplocaulus are fast underwater
Liam Sameer -----
On a 135, 13 crossbow shots DO have a chance of killing it.
They are skittish but not anywhere near faster than humans. They have low torpor and health, so tranq darts are recommended. Tamed like any carnivore, kibble is Archeopteryx. Can be found anywhere in and around the swamps.
Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.
If you ever need to find one, look for the 3 kapros, 2 sarcos, and 4 titanaboa smushed in a circle
On mobile, these CAN be picked up by ptera
The easiest way to tame is to pick it with your arge and put it far from water 🏋️♂️
They eat kibble differently from other dino.. normal dinos like rex or quetzal eat 1 kibble every 80 food but the diplocalus eats 1 kibble every 120 food.. you need to re-adjust and calculate it again
First of all, this dino is quite useful when it comes to swimming underwater, since it spends it’s own oxygen except for yours and gives you some extra when dismounted. I recommend getting it out of the water first (if it is in water tho) since you know.. Sarcos etc. I lured a dilo to attack it then killed it to knock it out safely. You can also use bolas on these things which is pretty good for a 4 legged dino. And the most important part is that you need to add it weight since its around 150 at lvl approx 10 and you need to like ride it. Also the best thing of it is that it doesn’t require a saddle, I mean you can just ride it after tamed without using anything. Gotta remind their colors are modtly amazing and DON’T LET THE DODODEX PHOTO FOOL YOU THEY ARE SMALLER THAN MOSCHOPS. Hope it helped!
