Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Diplocaulus — Detailed Guide

The Diplocaulus is a small, slow amphibian with a boomerang-shaped head. It is no fighter, but it stores air and acts as a portable oxygen tank underwater, which is why divers and early ocean explorers keep one.

Where to find it

It lives on most maps in both games: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Genesis Part 1, plus Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA and Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Fjordur and Genesis Part 2 in ASE. It is especially common on Lost Colony in ASA.

Taming

A knockout tame. It is fearful and runs, but its torpor is very low, so it drops after a few tranquilizer shots.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 5 hours.
  • Temperature: the range is very wide, -75 to 75 °C, so the egg hatches almost anywhere.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 1.5 days at 1x.

Uses

Breathing underwater: it lets its rider stay down far longer while exploring caves, wrecks and loot crates. Its carcass gives Raw Meat and Hide.

Tips

It is slow on land. Keep it close to the water you plan to dive in rather than walking it across the map.
