Tips & Strategies

Just so you know it can be ridden underwater. While riding it your oxygen wont deplete and its a very fast swimmer. Its attacks can insta-kill trilobites and collect a huge amount of chitin at the same time. They can also be carried by pteranodon and above so you can easily transport them to different places, and easily pick them up and tame them elsewhere.

Gets black pearls from trilobites pass the word
A must have tame for beginners! If you go under water with it you can ride on it and it gives you near infinite oxygen and if you dismount it you can have it burp into you mouth for mor oxygen!
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.
Please listen to me! I haven't had these guys for long, but I noticed their healing was very low, about 0.1, while on land. When I went into the water with it so it could swim, the healing went up to about 1.2 per second. But the biggest thing is, I force fed it meat to heal, like with all carnivores. If you do this in the water, it heals hundreds with just a few pieces! I am going out to the seas in a bit. Knowing this healing factor will help a lot!
A great utility Dino with a damage multiplier vs trilobites. Great source for collecting chitin, silica pearls, and oil in the early stages of the game.
To whoever said this is not rideable anymore, Dippy and I wholeheartedly disagree
Do NOT I repeat, do NOT go too deep into the ocean. Just like Basils, they will take damage from the pressure of deep water.
So you just French kiss it and itβll keep you alive forever underwater?
Amazing for starting out if you wanna go in the ocean and you don't have scuba gear unlocked, they are extremely fast and can outrun pretty much anything in the water like the dolphin, I still use mine even now
When i tame a high level diplocaulus i am happy i ride it at the water and i think i must give all my items to my basilosaurus then i shock it is super duper fast
warning: diplocaulus if you use diplocaulus oxygen he/she will give you oxygen but it has limit your using diplocaulus oxygen thatβs not infinite oxygen most of people submit infinite oxygen
