What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Although diplodocus are pretty good tames in my opinion, they are also great for taming carnivores! If you are taming something like a rex, carno or just some creature that likes prime meat, head to the redwoods. Even though the redwoods is dangerous, there are normally lots of diplos there. K!lling diplodocus most of the time give you prime meat! The max amount of prime I have gotten was 6️⃣ I hope this will help you tame carnivores in the future!
Needs to do damage. No matter how little.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
I tried with rock carrots and savoroots, it wouldn’t let me feed the diplo with them
If it dies it springs in the air
