Dimorphodon taming calculatorKnockout

To tame the Dimorphodon, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.83/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

More about taming the Dimorphodon

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Dimorphodon at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Dimorphodon across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Dimorphodon first with Bola or Bear Trap.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Dimorphodon. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.83/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

The Dimorphodon, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.

Health-wise, the Dimorphodon sits at 125 base, making it very frail. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Dimorphodon has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 50, giving it very limited carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Dimorphodon unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Dimorphodon is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
