Tips & Strategies
So I literally have a theri a spino and bronto but I don’t have the diplocaulus so I’m like I guess I’ll have to find one and honestly there are quite the needle in the haystack including in the swamps but only having a pretondon with low stamina It was the only choice looking through the swamp a bit I finally found one and he is quite the looker he’s mostly black with neon blue detailing so I picked him up and flew him to my base which we did have to make a few stops because once again low stamina and I live on herbivore and if you did what I did I do recommend landing facing the water because the diplocaulus with go the opposite direction and you don’t want it going in the water because DAMN are they fast little buggers in water but very slow on land and they’ll only run like not even 4 feet away before stoping so nothing to worry about but as I was saying I arrived at my base and put him in a little 2x4 pen but I won’t be able to tame home for 3 days so I’ll probably knock him out ever once in a while to give him food 🤣 but other wise till then he is my prisoner
I saw one getting killed and I couldn’t save it I am sorry little one
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!!!
How to tame diplocaulus

Poor things always getting killed by the Kaprosuchus and the Sarcosuchus.
They are like so rare for me so I always try to save them if they are being attacked by a Sarco or Kapro. They come in cool colors too like dark BLUE!
I save one and it is getting tamed!
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.
These guys are the kings of trilobite hunting. Not only do they deal additional damage to them, they're great at collecting chitin, oil, and pearls. Other perks: they don't need a saddle to be ridden while in the water, they provide you with oxygen underwater, and are faster than just about anything while swimming. Super underrated mounts imo.
These cute amphibians are excellent for killing trilobites and gathering their corpses, since they:
* have a large damage multiplier on them
* gather black pearls in addition to the normal drops
* are fast enough to avoid and evade marine predators such as sharks
* will kill and gather trilobites in a single hit.
Additionally, they’re great for pre-scuba gear silica pearl diving, since they can act as a portable oxygen tank. Just be wary of sea scorpions stinging your diplocaulus while you are grabbing pearls, because it has extremely low torpor and could be knocked out.
One time while I was hunting terror birds I saw a really pretty orange female one. Sadly, it seems the terror birds were on a hunt for it. But I finished them off for their evil deeds against rare salamanders. Up is respect for the endangered lizards
Quite possibly the only completely harmless creature in the swamp.

Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.
