ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
An offer overlooked tame. While yes, there are better tames, if you’re an earlygame or begennier, this is a pretty good dino to travel into the sea. It can also get black pearls from trilobites really well. Oh and did I mention you can take oxygen from them if you’re drowning? Again, very overlooked and underrated tame.
More Diplocaulus Utility Tips
These cute amphibians are excellent for killing trilobites and gathering their corpses, since they:
* have a large damage multiplier on them
* gather black pearls in addition to the normal drops
* are fast enough to avoid and evade marine predators such as sharks
* will kill and gather trilobites in a single hit.
Additionally, they’re great for pre-scuba gear silica pearl diving, since they can act as a portable oxygen tank. Just be wary of sea scorpions stinging your diplocaulus while you are grabbing pearls, because it has extremely low torpor and could be knocked out.
These guys are the kings of trilobite hunting. Not only do they deal additional damage to them, they're great at collecting chitin, oil, and pearls. Other perks: they don't need a saddle to be ridden while in the water, they provide you with oxygen underwater, and are faster than just about anything while swimming. Super underrated mounts imo.
