Tips & Strategies
Scare it out of the swamp scare it out of the water and you're good to tame it it's easier that way the fast swimmers sometimes and the swamp is dangerous
I found it accidently after over swamp near green oblisk. It was attacked by terror bird, I tried to save it but it was dead before i reach it. All the scrco and bary stoped me. I was sad.
I flew multiple times arround the same area and oh boy found another one. I quickly grab it with ptera and took it to a safe area and tame it with prime meat. Enjoy infinte oxygen☺️
Can be picked up with arghh and put into wooden structure to knockout with tranq arrows, amazing find
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 ;)
Has a head resembling a stealth bomber, but it’s attack is only effective towards trilobites 🤨.
I used long rifle and darts worked. The eggs look like eyeball
This animal is pretty nice to have. I don’t know it’s purpose yet. But it’s a pain in the butt to tame cause you have to worry about Baryonyx, and titanoboa. 😢
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.
If you want to imprint remember they can't get out of water, so to bypass the take oxygen option you can cryo it or use DS to reset what it wants. You will ask it to follow you (always underwater) a couple dozens of meters and cryo it again ultil it gets the +imprint from "wants to go on a walk with you" since that one doesn't require any interaction other than a whistle. I use a baryonyx to clear the place I'm in, set it to aggressive, to follow me, and objective distance=long.
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!
This thing can also be founded in lost island i just tamed one
Use this to kill trilobites.. it kills and collects in 1 hit collects pearls chitin and oil that way.. quite alot!
Can be picked up with a pteranodon.
