Note that right after you feed him a berry he stops playing for a bit so he get more berries then
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.
From my experience, the male I tamed was aggressive...I just got near it and it hit/attack me, idk if female is the same...these are good when you first start cuz that are a passive tame, and when lvl.32 you can get a saddle

On The Crystal Isles their basically walking health bags for blood wyverns
Okay I’m new to mobile ark cuz I play the console version but I tried to tame this beast and it was actually not that bad cuz it only took 15 minutes then I just tamed another and another to make my army bigger :)
If you get just behind the front legs then the diplodocus can’t push you back so you can tame easy
I don’t know if this is normal or not but my diplo Whiplash is the only creature in all my history of playing ark that is tamed and has wandering off and yet remains playful and runs around whenever she feels like. It is the weirdest thing to see her suddenly start frolicking around me in giant circles, swinging her neck and tail at trees and breaking them left and right. So satisfying to watch her tho…first diplo I ever tamed and she’s my favorite pet by far.
There's a spot right behind it's front legs where you can stand underneath it and it gets stuck in you. You can stand there for the entire passive tame, you just get humoed the whole time
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!
It is also a KO tame, but it takes like 3x longer though
If you have a sino just fly onto its back and then you just sit there and can easily tame as long as nothing attacks it
Question: so why do these guys get mad at you for just walking by I did not hit you at all just let me do my exploring in peace please
Slightly difficult to tame since it yeets you away. I found it easiest to wedge myself in a corner made with two stone foundations. My Dippy was able to keep playing with me and I didn’t go anywhere
Even the Dodo does damage. But no, the diplo, a big sauropod does no damage whatsoever!
This guy is extremely good for titan taming I breed high level diplos level up nothing but health give them saddles and make them attack the titan. Since the diplos don’t do damage they distract the titan and make you able to destroy the corruption spot without difficulties this does not work with desert or king titan but the forest and ice titan yes
Go under the belly and they cant push you back. Or you can set a tamed animal on follow and passiv and it pushes the tamed animal not you
