What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
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 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.
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,
Needs to do damage. No matter how little.
They'll shove you around if you try to ta.w them, but it does no damage. They eat berries and the best option is Mejoberries. You can jump before they shove you to not go quite as far. Just beware of cliffs or getting shoved into dangerous areas.
these dudes can be found basically everywhere but most commonly in the redwoods getting rekt by predators alike so if you are planning to tame one dont go to the redwoods unless you can protect it
I tried with rock carrots and savoroots, it wouldn’t let me feed the diplo with them
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.
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.
The only thing the diplocodus is bad at is moving in structures. It just runs circles around you until u whistle it to stop. Its even worse if it reaches cnidaria filled waters.
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.
