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

Diplodocus is an all purpose tank and insane knockback. But Ark should add the diplodocuses doing tail whips whilst fighting carnivores.

Crops do not work

Up vote so Dododex can see this

For anyone that wants to passive tame it here is an area under it where he will play the push animation but it wont actually push you this leaves you only with the annoying rawring to deal with for more than 10 mins

When taming it, if you ride a Direwolf or something fast, it will chase you and will take less time to tame.

Can passive tame OR knock it out, for more food though.
Like so people know

Can not be passive tamed with crops don’t even try it will just annoy you save yourself the trouble.😁

When trying to tame they are a passive tame meaning you don’t knock it out.Also keep in mind when trying to tame they are extremely playful and will try to push you back.

Diplos actually get thatch. Pls up so the Dex knows.

Just make sure you aren’t at the edge of a cliff...

This thing eats... A LOT. It took me my whole mejoberry crop to tame one high-leveled Diplo

They are very playful and like pushing you back. If you can get underneath them you can stay there (they won’t move out of fear of hurting you and they can’t pish you away) and you can tame them for there. I go right under their stomach and it is best to come under from behind.

When you’re using a mejoberry for a diplodocus (1-5 lvl) it takes a awfully long time just to feed it a mejoberry but also when it’s being clumsy or playful just get it stuck between two rocks on go to the high one on a mountain if you do not want to get annoyed.

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

they just want to be your friend vote up for #savethe diplos

If you wanna game it easier it takes a long time for the first tap between but then you wait like 20 seconds and it’ll go faster when taming

Best easy prime meat source when taming. Defenseless massive walking meat pile

Make sure you always have the high ground. “Playing” with you involves knocking you backward, often over a cliff.

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.

Crops only work if you use the knockout method of taming it.
