Its only purpose is a bus…………..

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

If u use soothing balm it makes it go faster to get these also to avoid getting yeeted just go under them the AI will just keep pushing but not push u. Like if helpful! 😉

There is a spot under its belly were if you stand there it can’t knock you around but it does take time to find it but it’s worth it

Diplo is a mass hoarder, I can use its whip attack to get resources and it has tons of weight, though if I were to gather resources using it u need to have a escort either rex or just anything to defend your Diplo

To the ppl that say that they want a platform saddle for the diplo... have you read the dossier of the diplo? But but yeah they do need a whip attack tho.

Don't bother knocking it out. Jist get your back against a stone and make the diplo come right above you. The gap between the first two feedings will be huge so be prepared to sit in front of your screen for a while

I had one come up to me and push be until I tamed it named it pushy, really love it. Btw it didn’t hurt just push me.

If playing on a insta-tame server, run around passive taming an army of these if you're doing foot raids picking you will be impossible

I will forever argue that this is the best first tame. On Aberration, I tamed one before I even made clothes and it saved me from several basilisks, raptors, and ravagers while carrying huge amounts of resources. Taming one is a huge head start the moment you spawn in.

Later died by jumping from green to red zone (intentionally). RIP Shipping Crate.

Needs to do damage. No matter how little.

These can be found at weathertop (where my base is )but there is Swamp nearby so if you go under its legs your safe.

I can’t really passive tame it but me and my friend just knocked it out and fed it berries it was the easiest way for us

Beware! Wild ones pose zero threat aside from knockback, however in PvP and PvX they can be a menace, with high health and a tribes-worth of humans with guns,

If your on a pve server which I am, you can have a bus service with theses long neck bois

Just run under the legs make sure you have mejos (having a harvesting animal is a good way to get them) and then you have got a diplodocus! They are great harvesters they have great weight so you can carry a lot on them but be aware they can attract carnivores the saddle is expensive but wort for a tribe holds 10 people but is expensive

I tried with rock carrots and savoroots, it wouldn’t let me feed the diplo with them

Taming these the best trick I learned is load up on Mejo Berries and Chase it's tail. It will spin in circles but this causes it to get hungry significantly faster than just waiting under it, or letting it push you into a rock or cliff or trapping it.

Using the Diplo- the Diplo has a nice use early game in traversing the map. Only large dinos will Aggro the diplodocus allowing you to swim in areas aggressive waterline would kill you. I used mine extensively in the swamp to gather rare flowers, and various seeds as almost nothing attacks them. Seeing as they don't do damage even if you accidentally hit another dino it won't become aggressive. I avoid redwood on them as thylas on the ground can't dismount you, but in the trees they can and will. They are awesome for taming other dinos as you can utilize them in 2 different ways. You can knock out the dino you want to tame, mount the diplo and dismount on top of it don't jump off. Dinos will aggro on you instead of the dino your taming, and you can safely kill them from its back just make sure you don't have your diplo to flee or you'll fall off. Since they don't do damage you can level one up with crazy high heath and send them to attack a large dino, the diplo will keep them occupied without damaging them so taming effectiveness doesn't drop. Since they do knock back on attack it also slows down how fast a dino can kill them. Dinos larger than Carnotaurs will attack you and if you get to close to a tickle chickens it will also attack. Alpha Variants of Raptors and Carnotaurs will not attack the Diplodocus. Early Game they are amazing IMO as they safely open up alot more of the map than any other Dino you can tame and mount at that point.

Be in a safe open area and have plenty of mejo berries in you 0 slot. Give berry, run around it to make it use energy, give another berry till it's tamed. I wanted one and got it before my knocked out tame was at 43%. I hope this helps.
