What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easiest way to tame these is to build a 4 by 4 with door frames 2 high all the way around. The diplo will attack the structures and not you this way you can get right underneath his belly. I prefer to use kibble, berries take way too long. Up if you find this useful
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!
These guys are amazing despite their inability to attack.
Get a high level one and you’ll have around 15k health and 1500 weight when tamed. They can carry a lot and move surprisingly quickly. I use mine for metal runs and can carry at least 1k metal.
Just remember to bring some small carnivores like raptors for protection!
If you are trying to tame it, try to get on the base of its tail and it’ll carry you around and not be able to hit you
I Mean At Least Let It Destroy Structures Up Till Wood
I have three of this. They push raptors away from my bace and they threw a spino of a cliff trying to protect me the spino is dead
For some reason there the only big creature (other than dreadnaugtus) that can survive falling off a cliff
Sure Diplos can't actually hurt you or creatures, but having one is not too bad. Picture this: You have a diplodocus at you base, along with some stronger dinos like Rexs or allos, when all of the sudden you get the notification that you dodo has d!ed! Your heart sinks as you run outside of your base to see what creature did it, and you see a wild Rex chomping away at your dinos! You whistle your tames to attack the rex, as they're attacking, you see your diplodocus trying to k!ll the rex even though it is doing no damage. But that goes to show to diplodocus is pretty good! With the diplodocus's playful head nudge it can push the threat away allowing your strong tames to get the damage in! Diplodocus is pretty RAD!
I was able to get on the tail and ride around on him feeding him as needed just stay crouched. Also it’s a long time between first feed to second feed after that it was normal. Easy pest.
How to tame a diplo without getting knocked into the loving arms of a theri:
1. Get a moschops.
2. Ride the moschops and force it to collect berries.
3. Once you have enough berries sneak underneath it and feed it the berries. (mejo berries work best)
4. You now should have a diplo!
Make sure you always have the high ground. “Playing” with you involves knocking you backward, often over a cliff.
I recommend getting a soothing balm when taming it on berries it only goes up like three % even on mejoberrys so I got a soothing balm and fed it to him and now it goes up like 35% each time I feed him my dippy name is mango I almost tame a therizinosaurus with him but I ran out of biotoxin and it killed me
The questuon thats been plaging me since i settled on herb island is how to transport my diplos to herb island (the island to the southeast of the main island) with a raft. Is it impossible? put a tip with #raftdiplodilemma to help me out here pls.
This creature is very useful for getting reapers,basilisks, and perlovia out of the ground. The wild ones can do the same things as the tamed ones. These things are very useful for getting hidden loot. Just fly around maps with an argy with a tamed parasaur in its talons on turret mode so it can find the enemy dinos. Once you find one, lure a diplo or pull a tamed one out of a cryopod and push the dino out of the ground. If the enemy dino is on passive, proceed to kill it with your argy or any dino gates that has decent melee. BOOM! You have someone else's hidden loot.
transport for large tribes with large terrritories over large grassland, runs fast and is easy to tame. its saddle can carry plenty of tribemates and they can carry descent weight, but they are terrible in terms of offense as they only give a forceful push, but if you push enemy's of a cliff that would be more effective, overall rated a 5.2 for me, mobile and conveniant, but lacking in other aspects.
Most playful suckers I have ever met and still too this day. My listro only does tricks. This guy loves to get physical.
The nonviolent stuff is better.
It's does not take longer, uses less resources (barely only arrows) and yeah is peacefully
