You can always find them in the swamps being attacked by sarco, kapro, boa, and baro..

I happened to go prime meat shopping and scoop him up. Never seen one before. Loved it. Found a mate! Made them mate! Egg sit it in the water... baby Explode. Lmaoooooo never have I ever seen a Dino explode before. Was so piss off... I laughed...went to bed. Lol

Dude I saw my first one today and I've been playing ark for 2 months and I'm level 48 I wanted to tame it but a baryonyx a sarco and a flying lizard killed it I was so sad bro never escaped 1u.p =1 rip for my guy

Because not drowning kinda nice

So you just French kiss it and it’ll keep you alive forever underwater?

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

If anyone wants to know how to ride one it has to be in water

This creature is one of the few in which the other swamp dwellers have no allegiance to. I would recommend you to take and argentavis and fly the creature out of the swamp and tame it somewhere safer.

you can only ride it in the water and not on land bc it can’t take your weight on land and when u go into water most stuff is lighter

Can ride but only underwater. In order to ride, hold whatever your ride button is and click the option that says ride. Level up in oxygen, health, and movement speed if using this for underwater dives. Really fast underwater, and can outspeed megalodons.

you want to hit his feet because it gives the most torpor

These guys will never make a move to attack you, in fact, they are more likely to run away, and are rare due to being a snack for kapros and sacros. You can pick one up with a tame kapro, so you can actually save them.

Fantastic utility Dino. You take oxygen from it passively while riding. The oxygen lasts a long time too; this combined with its speed means you can explore anywhere under water. That and it's a chitin machine ;)

It gets black pearls from trilobites Pass the word

Diplocaulus helps you BREATH AIR

If your struggling a to find one check the nearby sarcos, kapros and snakes in the swamp to see if they are chasing something. Chances are they’re chasing a diplocaulus. Or a phiomia. Those darn phiomias are always getting chased…

Easiest to find in swamp by standing on the small islands inside. Watch out for Kapro as they'll literally sweep you off your feet <3 Pick up with ANY rideable bird and KO with only a few tranq darts in a safe area. They are fast and will run quickly. Simple kibble is best and very easy to obtain. Can only be ridden while in deep enough water where they are completely submerged. --AK

Just know when you breed you can’t get the imprint due to the “take oxygen” button that never goes away. I’m on PS5 maybe it’s better on PC?

Zero imprint for bred dips

Diplo is a very fragile and slow creature that spawn in dangerous areas so I recommend you to

1.if you have a argy use it to carry the Diplo away so it doesn't get killed if you don't have a argy just approach it and make it run away from the dangerous area

2.torpor works like this you shoot the creature and for 8 seconds it's torpor will increase but after the 8 seconds it will instantly start to drain the reload on crossbow takes like 4 or 3 seconds I think so after reloading wait a lil and than shoot it

3.when you get it knocked out feed it meat t tame a narco berries to keep it knocked out (you can use anything but I like narco berries because of how quickly and easily they can be farmed)

4.YOU TAMES A DIPLOCAULUS CONGRATS🎉 🎉
