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!!!

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.
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
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
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!
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
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 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☺️
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 ;)
Can be picked up with arghh and put into wooden structure to knockout with tranq arrows, amazing find
I used long rifle and darts worked. The eggs look like eyeball
HELP NO IMPRINT OPTIONS SOLVED
If you love these creatures like me and want to breed them to get better stats you’ll probably want to read this. So this isn’t about taming them I’m sure you already know what a pain it is to keep one alive after knock out.
Rule 1. When you breed them they must stay in water NO MATTER WHAT OR BOOM!
Also when imprinting there is no option to imprint due to a bug in the game but the way around it is by walking it over and over until it imprints.
When I say walk I mean swim it because remember rule 1. The first time walk for about a minute if no imprint happens then cryo it and walk it again and repeat until it imprints. Your basically just rolling the dice until the walk option comes but you’ll never see what it actually wants so walking is the cheapest option.
Rule 2. Wear scuba, your going to be walking it a couple times most likely. Your going to run out of stamina and the last thing u want is to go on land to get stamina and the baby diplo follows u remember rule 1.
This works for me on a PS5
Scare it out of the swamp scare it out of the water and you're good to tame it it's easier that way the fast swimmers sometimes and the swamp is dangerous
This animal is pretty nice to have. I don’t know it’s purpose yet. But it’s a pain in the butt to tame cause you have to worry about Baryonyx, and titanoboa. 😢
