Tips & Strategies
Don’t do the mistake I did! I was punching my diplocaulus and I didn’t know it was low on hp and I grabbed out my crossbow(kock out arrow) and shot at it and it died
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.
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

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
