Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a diplocaulus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplocaulus.
Super easy tame. Knock out with and bow and trans. Feed it raw meat. Boom 💥 TAMED!
This baby don't need a saddle to ride and gives you oxygen while riding and also supplies you with a breath 🫁 or 2 under water.
✨ANNND another thing it is SUPER fast under water 💦
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!!!

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.
On a 135, 13 crossbow shots DO have a chance of killing it.
Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.
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.
The easiest way to tame is to pick it with your arge and put it far from water 🏋️♂️
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.
you want to hit his feet because it gives the most torpor
I just bred mine and put the egg in the fridge. So who said you cant move the egg is full of bologna. Now as for the hatching, I have no idea but it will be a learning curve.
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
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 ;)
I used long rifle and darts worked. The eggs look like eyeball
Ark mobile player here. Pteranodons can pick these guys up and they dont hurt your flyer when wild. Swoop in and save it before it gets hurt too badly. Drop it in a taming pen to heal then knock out and tame
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
Super easy to tame, even easier if you have an argy, all I did was pick it up and drop it somewhere near my base where it was safe, then I gave it like 2 tranq darts. Not very fast so you don’t even have to trap it if you’re close to base or somewhere safe lol. Mine was a low level so be careful not to load too many tranq arrows into it. Put meat or kibble into inventory, name it queef queen💪
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☺️
Use this to kill trilobites.. it kills and collects in 1 hit collects pearls chitin and oil that way.. quite alot!
