All these tips here tells you how to tame it... but what they fail to mention is the fact, you have to breed it on land, can’t move the egg and the baby HAVE to STAY IN THE WATER!! Don’t push the baby on land or it WILL EXPLODE!!!! I just watch my baby explode right before my eyes!!! Never have I seen a Dino exposed before!!!
On a 135, 13 crossbow shots DO have a chance of killing it.
They are skittish but not anywhere near faster than humans. They have low torpor and health, so tranq darts are recommended. Tamed like any carnivore, kibble is Archeopteryx. Can be found anywhere in and around the swamps.
Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.
They are in redwood swamp lake you can just carry them with argy
The easiest way to tame is to pick it with your arge and put it far from water 🏋️♂️
This thing can also be founded in lost island i just tamed one
Easiest to find in swamp by standing on the small islands inside. Watch out for Kapro as they'll literally sweep you off your feet <3 Pick up with ANY rideable bird and KO with only a few tranq darts in a safe area. They are fast and will run quickly. Simple kibble is best and very easy to obtain. Can only be ridden while in deep enough water where they are completely submerged. --AK
you want to hit his feet because it gives the most torpor
They eat kibble differently from other dino.. normal dinos like rex or quetzal eat 1 kibble every 80 food but the diplocalus eats 1 kibble every 120 food.. you need to re-adjust and calculate it again
This creature is one of the few in which the other swamp dwellers have no allegiance to. I would recommend you to take and argentavis and fly the creature out of the swamp and tame it somewhere safer.
I used long rifle and darts worked. The eggs look like eyeball
Can be picked up with a pteranodon.
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!
Fantastic utility Dino. You take oxygen from it passively while riding. The oxygen lasts a long time too; this combined with its speed means you can explore anywhere under water. That and it's a chitin machine ;)
Diplo can give oxygen in underwater
Without scuba suit
AMAZING....
If you stay in your swamp base a lot they will spawn frequently.
I feel like this poor lil newt thing is not respected enough, people say it useless but they are really good for collecting from trilobite and stuff and also they always are getting murdered by kapros, sarco, and titanoboa, they should be treated better!!!
If you have trouble finding one, just go to crystal isles in the tropical area(more specifically, the one with some crocodile) and search around the coast, you'll have much more probability of finding one and taming it without much danger
