How do I tame a diplocaulus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplocaulus.
What I did to tame my dip is I grabbed my argy;harpoon;and full on grabbed it by its behind and dragged it back to my base,smashed it with my candy cane club,(after I k.o-ed it I took a bite out of my club,it was pretty good😏)then I SHOVED the meat up its BUTTCRACK🍑,and boom!you got you self a docile air tank for noobs,uparoo if this helped😎

Can be seen swimming on the surface anywhere in the swamp, and can be grabbed by a Pteranodon (other flyers as well, most likely)
For you mobile players out there I once played ark mobile(I prefer it on the PS4) don't waste you're prime meat, taming food and narcotics ore soothing balms cause YOU CANT RIDE IT ON MOBILE! The whole point of taming it was that I could ride it and I can't it's a waste of taming slot
Easy way to get black pearls by harvesting trilobites with them
People say it's so hard to tame which is not... just pick it up and take it to your Base and trank arrow him. Trust me boys it's so easy
Just know it out it’s very easy
When you’re teaming it you want to put it pick it up we are truly an add-on and put it in your second story base on top of your roof that’s what I did and they were trapped with a door and that’s how I team I’m taming the second one right now I got the first one themed themed
Dodoex said that it was safe to use a bow so I did and it died DO NOT USE A BOW
Mack sure your stamina full because he's fast
Can be picked up with a Ptera. It is far easier to pick them up from swamp and tame them at base.
Is it on the center?
These guys are smaller than youd think, they are also somewhat rare, if you really want one, dont worry about the level, they aren’t even that useful so really only worry about getting one early game if anything.
Anybody else having an issue where it won’t die or get knocked out?
Knocked one out. Went to get prime meat and when I came back it was gone.
You can only ride them in the water
Easiest knockout is make a taming pen and use an argy to plop it in there. Knock out and load him with prime
When found make sure you clear the surrounding area of any carnivals because of this creature inability to defend itself and very low health pool it'll probably die really quickly. Put up spike wall 2x thick(to preven carnos from being able to reach over and hit the tame). Also don't forget to leave an opening for you to get in or an area to land a bird. Other then that just starve it out while you farm prime or reg meat. Good luck with your Diplocaulus!! :)
I used a mastercraft 188 longneck w tranq darts took 5.
Planning to tame this, do you need a saddle to ride it? Also can a argentavis carry this?
