What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
People think the diplodocus is useless, but it has some uses. Here is a guide to it! #1. The Diplodocus is found in the Redwoods, and I think some beaches. It will not hurt you, but will knock you back far. They are a passive tame, but will take forever to tame, so be patient. #2. The diplodocus is fast when tamed, and can push enemies away. Their saddle might not be great for single player, but on multiplayer, it can transport up to 10 people. You can transport others to battlefields. #3. It can not damage when tamed, but is still useful. This is my guide to the diplodocus, and I hope you think different about it! Signed, Pickle844Luvr P.S. I am sorry I didn’t have much to say about it.
Scary face but 0% melee damage 😬
I would recommend killing this early game it’s defenceless and drops a bunch of prime meat then with that meat go tame like a dire wolf or raptor
U can also knock out tame these guys which saves a ton of time
Tip for mobile players:
If you need them for their eggs, which can be used for allosaurus kibble, they can be found in plentiful numbers on the hills surrounding the red obelisk where the olive trees are.
I just tamed it 😂 by feeding tintoberries. Much easy to tame but took 30 min approx🏴☠️✌️ . But yeah no use in attacking with other dino
How to tame a diplodocus:
-There are two methods to tame a diplodocus! Passive taming and knockout taming. I will explain both.
Passive taming:
1. You need to get a bunch of berries, veggies, or preferred kibbles.
2. Then get under the diplodocus, that way it can't hit you and send you halfway across the map.
3. Start feeding the diplodocus, it will take a while.
Knockout taming:
1. You will also need to get under the diplodocus so it can't hit you.
2. Start shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
3. After it's knocked out, you might need some narcotics to keep it asleep. Feed it berries, veggies, or preferred kibbles.
-They don't deal damage but their knockback can be useful.
Hope this helps!

The knockback can be a pain so just go prone it won't knock you back and if you slowly go forward there's a point where the diplo continues to try to hit u but you get no knock back even when standing, hope this helps
So when you see dippy you might get scared but they can’t actually do damage so they are easy passive tames and great harvesters
Beware the have some serious knockback and u can possibly get killed.
These are good to kill for xp since they just knock you back
To make the taming process less infuriating in case you don't like flying around, do as follows:
1. Lure it to open terrain
2. Feed it - it will then stand still feeding for a short time
3. Position yourself right left of its front left leg
4. Don't move and enjoy being push around by the leg while it tries to reach you with its head.
5. After the initial feed you wait 5-15 minutes for it to become hungry again. After that this interval is reduced to 1 minute. You can now feed it every 1 minute with mejoberries until tamed
I know people say it’s best to passive tame, but I personally KO tamed because I didn’t know. It wasn’t that bad, all you have to do is trap it with 4x4 stone trap, with a ramp. I needed like 60 traq arrows to knock it out.
They are very useful, they can carry I think 10 people at once (not sure about the number, but it’s very big). You do need metal and 800 hide though. People on the chairs not controlling the Dino can shoot things below.
They are fast, have good knock back, and have good health pool. I think its a good mid-game tame.
How to tame one THE EASY WAY *I think only works for mobile*
Step 1: grab some tranqs *These dudes take a bunch, if you have a OP crossbow, it should only take 1-3 arrows (I reccomend tranq)*
Step 2: knock it out
Step three: Give it kibble/Carrots
And now you wait
