Im going to tame a diplocaulus first i saw it in the beach but i need bola club slingshot bow and tranq arrows i need to tame with raw meat with soothing balm and i name him Willie
Hey bloop they spawn in swamps and they're as rare as leeches, you can see them swim like crocs but they somehow look like beelzebufos. They swim extremely fast though so you need to carry/trap them.
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.
If they are SWIMMING you can ride them. Use this to get black pearls from trilobites and lobsters but watch out because everything that aggro on humans will aggro on it so watch out Also if riding on mobile you have infinite air. This dude is how I obtained enough black pearls to tame that tuso that got stuck in rocks
Diplo can give oxygen in underwater
Without scuba suit
AMAZING....
Found mostly in swamps,
How to be able to tame these things
1. If a beginner or don’t know how to shoot, get about 10 narco arrows, if you do only make 1-2.
2. Shoot it.
3. Once knocked out, feed it MEAT
4. Have fun exploring the ocean waters!
Good stuff about it is that you get to get infinity air in water, they are good for getting oil, chitin and pearls, and they can outspeed a megalodon in water!
Bad thing is that they die easily
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.
Will farm about 25 chitin per trilobite and will kill and collect a trilobites loot in 1 bite, also you dont need scuba gear since you can ride it and take its oxygen.
Diplocaulus are constantly picked on by swamp carnivores, even the sluggish Dilos, add on the fact that they are so painfully slow and it results in it constantly kicking the bucket.
For taming either take some strong tames to kill all swamp carnivores or, and this is worth noting, use a pteranodon/Tapejara to hook it out the swamp for easy pen taming
Bruh I have found thousands of them running out the water for no reasons
If having trouble finding one in the swamps try bringing a parasaur with you and use its detection ability to see all nearby carnivores hiding in the water and walk up to them to check if they are a diplo. as long as you have some sarcos or barrys to clear out the piranhas you will find one in a couple of minutes easy.
Rip eerie lvl 150 diplocaulus. I will never forget you
Tamed one today, it was by the Green odilisk. Brought it home with an argentavis, shot it a few times with narco arrows (bow) and fed it meat and narcotics as needed!
They look so dumb and cute, would recommend getting one
