Tips & Strategies
They are a passive and a K.O tame
I stole a Diplo egg and it head-butted me straight into the loving arms of a wild Therizinosaurus.
How to get a diplo:
Know that it is easiest to passive tame them, which means walking up to them and feeding them
Get a TON of berries, everytime you feed it, it will go up like 3-5%
Have a high speed, high attack flying dino, (high attack in case you "miss click")
HAVE PATIENCE, diplo's are a stubborn tame, they will push you playfully (hence the flying dino)
MAKE SURE there are no carnivores around, if there are carnies around it will attack it there is a chance of it dying, it will get rid of all your hard work, and most importantly, IT MAY DIE (R.I.P. attempted tame #1 + 2 😢)
Plz note I am not an "high level player" that has a giga, I am lvl 50, (51 at the time I wrote this, almost 52) so I am not that experienced, tho I am sorta, I don't know that much about the game
I feel bad for these guys cus they cant fight back when wild ^ If you think they deserve to attack in the wild
Well everyone, lord Fred saw u passed 40 on the piranha, so it’s time to tell u how to tame a dippy!!!!!
Note: there is two methods to do this: passive or knockout. So I’ll describe both
For passive: if u have nothing to do, then wait like 60hours to tame it with your hand. Trust me, I learned the hard way
If u do knockout l, then u save so much time.
1. Trap it with gate frames. (I recommend stone.)
2. Knockout with tranq arrows. (Don’t know how much)
3. Feed it food. Likes berries
4. 123… POW 💥 u tamed your little friend
Tips: they really like to play with u with they’re necks, so dodge it!
Txs so much for the tip to be published! We’re gonna lower the stakes for u: if this gets past 30, I’ll make one on how to tame a must need tame: CARNOTAURUS!!!
Signed, lord Fred
I don't know if it was attacking me or trying to "cuddle" me but it had scary teeth ._.
Everyone saying the Diplo needs a tail whip attack and platform saddle, seriously if you want that get a bronto, the Diplo has its purpose and so does the bronto, making one into the other makes one redundant and totally useless. Brontos are attackers and portable bases, diplos are a hybrid of speed and capacity, no one would complain about a gallimimus that can carry eleven people and still have space to spare for three tonnes of cargo, but they do complain about a Diplo which is essentially that in terms of functionality.
How to tame:
1. Trap it
2. Gather 150 Azulberries
3. Ride a fast mount (e.g Raptor, Pterodon,)
4. Feed until tamed
5. Enjoy!
When passively taking, keep in mind that there is a large gap of time between their first food item and second. Afterwards the food drain proceeds normally
No no no!. They didn't want to hurt u, they just want to play with u, yessss with throw u off from a high cliff
they just want to be your friend #savethe diplos
Very easy tame! Just go by a rock while getting hit, so you don’t go far away, and go under the diplo. Keep feeding it mejoberries, and wala you have a diplo. Keep in mind the little bonks don’t hurt so don’t be afraid by that.
Not as useless as you might think! A high-level spino was terrorizing a nearby river. I took my diplo (Dylan) and while the spino was focused on killing Dylan, I was using my crossbow and rifle to do damage to it. Spino ended up dead, while Dylan was at 2000 out of 3000 health, and I was not injured at all.
Love u Dylan
They try to nudge you and play but their gentle nudge turns into a power yeet
When taming or fighting, you can stand under their belly and not be knocked back. It may take a few trys but they do no damage to you anyway.
I saved one from a pack of raptors cause I felt bad cause they can’t actually do damage and as soon as I shot all the raptors the dumb thing turned on me
