Tips & Strategies
A quick smooth way to tame a diplo is to have a small taming pen, make the kibble needed before hand for a passive tame. Then have it agro onto you since it does no damage you don't need to worry about it hitting you. Lure it into the pen and just lean against a wall of your pen and just let him constantly push you. You won't actually move and it saves a lot of kibble and time to passive tame rather than KO.
More Diplodocus Taming & KO Tips
Very easy tame! Just go by a rock while getting hit, so you donβt go far away, and go under the diplo. Keep feeding it mejoberries, and wala you have a diplo. Keep in mind the little bonks donβt hurt so donβt be afraid by that.

How to get a diplo:
Know that it is easiest to passive tame them, which means walking up to them and feeding them
Get a TON of berries, everytime you feed it, it will go up like 3-5%
Have a high speed, high attack flying dino, (high attack in case you "miss click")
HAVE PATIENCE, diplo's are a stubborn tame, they will push you playfully (hence the flying dino)
MAKE SURE there are no carnivores around, if there are carnies around it will attack it there is a chance of it dying, it will get rid of all your hard work, and most importantly, IT MAY DIE (R.I.P. attempted tame #1 + 2 π’)
Plz note I am not an "high level player" that has a giga, I am lvl 50, (51 at the time I wrote this, almost 52) so I am not that experienced, tho I am sorta, I don't know that much about the game
UP IF HELPFUL
You need about 100 Mejoberries. You should probably tame it around a bushy area, so you can keep collecting berries. Do not attack a Diplodocus! Just get close and start feeding it mejoberies. Feed it one mejoberry every time it says to. Diplodocus will knock you around during taming. This is not an attack. It's just playing.
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
Thought he was trying to kill me...they call this "playful"...its like playing with a bat and your a baseball....
Passive tamed a level 12 (+5 levels) with 15 mejoberries. If you can situate yourself under itβs legs, specifically between the two front ones, the diplo will continue to try and bump you back but will be unsuccessful. It will do this move over and over again, and drain its stamina and hunger faster, which leads to a faster tame.
If passive taming you can stand in a specific spot under the front-middle portion of its belly and it will continuously try to boop you but it won't be able to reach you, allowing you to just stand there until it wants its feedings.
When there wild there pretty slow
But when there tamed....
ZOOOOOMMMM
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.
To tame get behind there front legs
For no knock back
