ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
You can easily find these guys in the swamps I mainly find them in the swamps near green obelisk they usually get attacked by barys kapros sarcos and boas so sometimes they are at low health.
U can build a wooden box just walls JUST WALLS

|_____|. Like that but seal it up. Use and argy or pteranodon to go pic it up
And place it in the trap
If it’s at low health DO NOT TRY TO TAME IT there’s chances it can die straight away wait for it to heal up *which is a pain but worth it*
Feed their preferred kibble **simple kibble** mobile: Archaeopteryx kibble
I recommend prime fish meat that u can easily get by killing saber tooth salmon and collecting it with a metal hatchet
I also recommend prime meat u can get by killing strong Dinos like a paratherium.
U don’t have to use a soothing balm it tames ok /fast-ish
I recommend u have at least 60 Narcotics some bio toxin **just in case**
**bio toxin can be collected by killing jelly fish** and there tamed!
More Diplocaulus Taming & KO Tips
I waited like 20 minutes to tame one with raw meat. Listen to me! USE RAW FISH MEAT! Dododex needs to remove raw meat as a taming option. Could’ve saved me 30 minutes of life and I’d have Boomerang (Dilpo’s new name) sooner. Up this comment!!
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!!!
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 💦
If you happen to ride by one of these on your kapro, you can pick it up and run off with it. I found one in the water near the swamp and took it to a safer place to tame it via my kaprosuchus. You can bola these as well if you happen to have one on you! Please 👍 to pass the word
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

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.
On a 135, 13 crossbow shots DO have a chance of killing it.
Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.
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
