More about taming the Aberrant Diplocaulus
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Diplocaulus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Aberrant Diplocaulus across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Diplocaulus first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Aberrant Diplocaulus sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.3/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. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Aberrant Diplocaulus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Diplocaulus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it respectable melee power. At 240 base HP, the Aberrant Diplocaulus is on the squishy side. Stamina sits at 165 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 150 means modest carrying capacity.
To tame the Aberrant Diplocaulus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Diplocaulus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a -75°C–75°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.4 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
