Tips & Strategies

What are tips for diplocaulus? Tips and strategies for diplocaulus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
I used long rifle and darts worked. The eggs look like eyeball
Literally the punching bag of the swamp, these poor things are always getting chased and eaten. It took me forever to get one that didn’t die immediately bc of other dino’s.
Has a head resembling a stealth bomber, but it’s attack is only effective towards trilobites 🤨.
Bro I found one in the swamp. I heard theses things are rare. But them all of the sudden 2 SARCOS AND 2 SNAKES CAME UP AND KILLED ITT 😭😭😭😭😭
Use this to kill trilobites.. it kills and collects in 1 hit collects pearls chitin and oil that way.. quite alot!
I found it accidently after over swamp near green oblisk. It was attacked by terror bird, I tried to save it but it was dead before i reach it. All the scrco and bary stoped me. I was sad.
I flew multiple times arround the same area and oh boy found another one. I quickly grab it with ptera and took it to a safe area and tame it with prime meat. Enjoy infinte oxygen☺️
If you ever need to find one, look for the 3 kapros, 2 sarcos, and 4 titanaboa smushed in a circle
On mobile, these CAN be picked up by ptera
I saw one getting killed and I couldn’t save it I am sorry little one
You can easily find these guys in the swamps I mainly find them in the swamps near green obelisk they usually get attacked by barys kapros sarcos and boas so sometimes they are at low health.
U can build a wooden box just walls JUST WALLS

|_____|. Like that but seal it up. Use and argy or pteranodon to go pic it up
And place it in the trap
If it’s at low health DO NOT TRY TO TAME IT there’s chances it can die straight away wait for it to heal up *which is a pain but worth it*
Feed their preferred kibble **simple kibble** mobile: Archaeopteryx kibble
I recommend prime fish meat that u can easily get by killing saber tooth salmon and collecting it with a metal hatchet
I also recommend prime meat u can get by killing strong Dinos like a paratherium.
U don’t have to use a soothing balm it tames ok /fast-ish
I recommend u have at least 60 Narcotics some bio toxin **just in case**
**bio toxin can be collected by killing jelly fish** and there tamed!
I swear if I see even a compy hurting one I’ll beat it with my weakest tool. Why? FOR PAIN.
It sorta looks like a Japan giant salamander.
Apparently these are rare so I tamed one ✨
This thing can also be founded in lost island i just tamed one
First of all, this dino is quite useful when it comes to swimming underwater, since it spends it’s own oxygen except for yours and gives you some extra when dismounted. I recommend getting it out of the water first (if it is in water tho) since you know.. Sarcos etc. I lured a dilo to attack it then killed it to knock it out safely. You can also use bolas on these things which is pretty good for a 4 legged dino. And the most important part is that you need to add it weight since its around 150 at lvl approx 10 and you need to like ride it. Also the best thing of it is that it doesn’t require a saddle, I mean you can just ride it after tamed without using anything. Gotta remind their colors are modtly amazing and DON’T LET THE DODODEX PHOTO FOOL YOU THEY ARE SMALLER THAN MOSCHOPS. Hope it helped!
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.
