Tips & Strategies
Wear a ghille suit, they won't attack
Can passive tame OR knock it out, for more food though.
Taking this sauropod is no joke, but here are some tips to help you out:
1. Knockout taming is a little easier, and faster, however, it requires much more food, and in passive taming, the effectiveness is higher, either is ok, so choose one that works for you, I just prefer passive taming it
2. I highly recommend a trap, knocking it out would be difficult without, and could kill you, if it knocks you off a cliff. In passive, any time it is hit by a wild creature, it resets the taming bar, so a trap is essential, especially the higher level it is.
3. Honestly Mejos work great, but are a lot slower, yet easier to get than kibble. Effectiveness is near perfect with them so don’t worry.
4. If passive taming, you can stand slightly farther back than its back legs, and it will try to hit you and be unable, so it will keep trying to hit, and you can stand there forever, feeding it
5. After the first feed (in passive taming), it needs to wait around 15 to 25 minutes (in my experience) before it eats again. Then it is around 20 seconds, unless its hunger is full, in which case it will let you feed it again when it goes down enough for whatever food you are using.
Hope this was helpful, happy taming!
I’m planing on taming one (👍if it’s worth it, 👎if it’s not)
I got an idea if the tamed diplodocus can attack.So it is like an upgrade for the saddle (that might make it cost more) that adds sharp spikes on its head so when it pushes enemies not only the get knockback they will also get hurt which means we can level up the attack of the diplo.Thats just my idea and yes I think the do deserve a tail whip attack cause they really need a defence in the wild man....
Grapple hook on to it. Hold to Reel yourself in, continuously feeding it while staying grappled. Rarely will hit you as it spins trying to reach you. Grapple wont releas because as long as you dont hit it, it wont count as combat
Don't tame them near a beach they might start whacking you into the ocean I learnt that the hard way
Today I learned they push you when there's hostile dinosaurs around. Either there trying to give you to the aggressive creatures or there trying to help you.
Jurassic Bio: Diplodocus
Name means: Double Beam
Period: Late Jurassic
Diet: Herbivore
Height: 30ft
Length: 90ft
Description: Diplodocus was the 2nd longest dinosaur in history (1st was memenchisaurus). Unlike its relative, Brachiosaurus, it stood completely horizontally. It likely would’ve used its whip like tail as a weapon against predators.

No, it doesn't need a platform saddle. No, it doesn't need to be able to do damage. It has plenty of uses without these, being able to move lots of resources quickly, clear bases of wild dinos without aggroing them, and being among the best for draining turrets, being able to run by them and soak any that hit. If you want a platform saddle and tail whip. Get a bronto.
Stay under it's belly so that you don't get pushed
Diplo's are super tanky. Everyone doesnt realize this is now the BEST bullet tank in the game. When heath is low, sprint out with no problem. Unlike the bronto, the Diplo is very fast. While passive taming, realize that first feeding you have about 15 minutes until next feeding. Then all quick after that.
Poor diplos they just want to be your friend :(
You need about 100 Mejoberries. You should probably tame it around a bushy area, so you can keep collecting berries. Do not attack a Diplodocus! Just get close and start feeding it mejoberies. Feed it one mejoberry every time it says to. Diplodocus will knock you around during taming. This is not an attack. It's just playing.
Awesome for taming because it is a passive tame, and it is very good for taming other Dinosaurs because it can push back the Dino without damaging it
Did you guys know that this beautiful dino is the ONLY dino you can passive tame AND knock out tame? It's pretty cool :)
When passive taming, it declines Savoroot and rockcarrots.
If you find this guy on a mountain get ready to get knocked out of the orbit.
