What they do is they improve the effectiveness of underwater drops (ONLY) for example befor taming this Dino youl get for example a primitive rocket launcher after taming youl get a astended rocket launcher and this buff last a quite a bit but the Dino despawns after 30 minutes and keep in mind he is one of the rarest creatures in the game so tame only when your in late game and being escourted my a mosa or somthing cause these guys are about as strong as my pinkey toe and they need giant bee honey to tame wich you need to find a active nest of bees break it down kill all the workers and tame the bee with kibb (THE QUEEN GIANT BEE IS THE ONLY WAS TO GET THE REQUIRED HONEY FOR THIS TAME)also keep in mind these bees are hella rare but not nearly as rare as the lioplerodon then when you have the lioplerodon you don’t wait any time sit on it and go get EVERY UNDER WATER DROP YOU CAN cause again these guys ugh expire after 30 minutes please like not dislike this is my first tip in the Dododex

With new update (announced july2020) the tame will last 6 hours. Long enough to really benefit from farming ocean loot crates boost that it gives.

Careful with this one, after 30 minutes it goes to candy mountain without you and never comes back.

There's a misconception that this was updated for the tame to last 6 hours rather than 30 minutes; the TAME only lasts 30 minutes, but the BUFF it gives now lasts 6 hours.

these guys’ll give you a nice buff for underwater loot crates, they’ll provide a cool look, teach you how to shave and maybe they’ll teach you how to play catch! but after 30 minutes, it’ll disappear. just like my dad.

Waste of time. Wildcard yet again adding useless dinos but still wont fix gamebreaking problems. Smfh

Seriously Wildcard...What are you guys doing over there?!?! Why couldn't its buff be used once per 24 to 36 hours??? Why even release this garbage... All the materials,kib etc for the tame and all you can do is half an hour? What if connection error happens or someone's already going around hitting the drops??? 336 hours to raise a giga but you only give us 30 minutes? How bout lowering breeding timers? With no disrespect intended, this was a very very very very poor decision ...

Liopleurdon can drop black pearl add this in the list like so peaple see

Guys hes so aggressive to you with a tame bc it thinks your gonna cheat but next thing you know he’s gone with another person and then the next just like my ex

The buff it gives changes the loot obtained from drops, although it can be worse. Have a tribemate without the buff check the drop to see if it's worth the gamble.

When tamed all underwater loot drops have better loot but only for 30 mins so hurry.

Cryopod does not work on the Liopluradon

I hope everyone knows this dino is supposed to be useless, it's a Charlie the unicorn joke creature.

When tamed, anything inside deep sea loot drops become majorly more rare basically ascendent every drop

I encountered a wild Liopleurodon and I was amazed until it asked me for about three fitty

Everyone saying this game is useless it’s actually very good it can pick up ocean drops by attack them he is a loot monster that’s why u can only have him for 30 min

Tame it, tame last 30 minutes but increased efficiency to underwater loot drops for six hours. I usually tame it, park it near an island and make a bed for tribe mates to fast travel to. Tribe mates can share the loot drop buff by having them jump on tame themselves.

Ark mobile players listen, lioplurodon boosts amber found in each node underwater so tame one chronicle it carry the implant and a revival platform underwater if you see an amber node revive it, rinse and repeat for loads of amber

Sucks for console players as we don't get mods while pc can get a unlimited

Liopleurodon mod

If you ride him to candy mountain you die
