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.

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 😢)
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
Well everyone, lord Fred saw u passed 40 on the piranha, so it’s time to tell u how to tame a dippy!!!!!
Note: there is two methods to do this: passive or knockout. So I’ll describe both
For passive: if u have nothing to do, then wait like 60hours to tame it with your hand. Trust me, I learned the hard way
If u do knockout l, then u save so much time.
1. Trap it with gate frames. (I recommend stone.)
2. Knockout with tranq arrows. (Don’t know how much)
3. Feed it food. Likes berries
4. 123… POW 💥 u tamed your little friend
Tips: they really like to play with u with they’re necks, so dodge it!
Txs so much for the tip to be published! We’re gonna lower the stakes for u: if this gets past 30, I’ll make one on how to tame a must need tame: CARNOTAURUS!!!
Signed, lord Fred
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
Just caught my first diplo today not that hard. He was already half health after a battle with some raptors and dilos . Used 20 tranq arrows and with some patience it was knocked out use mejo beries and if doing starve taming i recommend waiting for at least 20 minutes if its level 15-20 . That's what I did to be exact
Very easy tame! Just go by a rock while getting hit, so you don’t go far away, and go under the diplo. Keep feeding it mejoberries, and wala you have a diplo. Keep in mind the little bonks don’t hurt so don’t be afraid by that.
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.
When there wild there pretty slow
But when there tamed....
ZOOOOOMMMM
Passive tamed a level 12 (+5 levels) with 15 mejoberries. If you can situate yourself under it’s 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.
The first time you feed it it goes really slow but after that it’s like every 15 seconds(berries)
When trying to tame they are a passive tame meaning you don’t knock it out.Also keep in mind when trying to tame they are extremely playful and will try to push you back.
