HELP NO IMPRINT OPTIONS SOLVED
If you love these creatures like me and want to breed them to get better stats you’ll probably want to read this. So this isn’t about taming them I’m sure you already know what a pain it is to keep one alive after knock out.
Rule 1. When you breed them they must stay in water NO MATTER WHAT OR BOOM!
Also when imprinting there is no option to imprint due to a bug in the game but the way around it is by walking it over and over until it imprints.
When I say walk I mean swim it because remember rule 1. The first time walk for about a minute if no imprint happens then cryo it and walk it again and repeat until it imprints. Your basically just rolling the dice until the walk option comes but you’ll never see what it actually wants so walking is the cheapest option.
Rule 2. Wear scuba, your going to be walking it a couple times most likely. Your going to run out of stamina and the last thing u want is to go on land to get stamina and the baby diplo follows u remember rule 1.
This works for me on a PS5
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. 😢
This guy when teamed with a Basilo can be used for the underwater artifact cave.
Found anywhere in the swamp area
All you have to do is have a small room and carry it with your ptrenadon and shoot it with like 5 tranq arrows (if high level like mine)
Up if helpful
Use spyglass to find diplocaulus
The oxygen info is white and stands out against normal yellow green and red and is larger font...
There are very week Dino so kill everything that breaths on it, around it
Guys this guy is the best he is a good pet to be with
They are really rare to find but once you do tame one get it out of the swamp immediately or else you will have to start the process all over again R.I.P my pet diplocaulus
Very difficult to tame in PVE since you can’t pick it up and it’s every gator’s favorite snack. 9/10 Times you will find them getting eaten. I recommend taking a taming raft to the edges of the swamp near the ocean and using rare flowers to aggro it into your boat. Have a buddy scout with a flyer to find one. They have low health so be careful not to kill it. You might want to force feed to get the health back up after KO’d.
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
Bro to tame it just grab it with your argentavis bring it to base and hit it with two tranq darts it's so easy
If you stay in your swamp base a lot they will spawn frequently.
Get a shocking dart and it will be out in 1
