Tips & Strategies

What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Why you should tame these and how:
Step 1: Get a LOAD of berries.
Step 2: Find your Diplo & try getting under its belly cos they can knock you
back far far away (they do no damage tho)
Step 3: Start feeding the Diplo since these are passive tames.
Step 4: Keep feeding the Diplo until its tamed. Didn't want to mention this but
the time between the first and second feeding takes a LONG time.
Step 5: Name your Diplo, equip the saddle and start harvesting!
Why you should tame these:
Reason 1: The saddle can hold 10 passengers and 1 driver. The passengers
can use weapons while on the saddle. These can be really useful
when hunting in servers.
Reason 2: Although these do no damage, they have an ability to send a large
force and knockback any nearby creatures/players really far.
I would like to know cause I saw one and stole it's egg and it started pushing me. Though I just rode on my trike and kept moving forward but is it still playing with me or trying to kill me after I stole it's egg 🤔cause right now I'm tryna tame it😅
You can just stand under one and it won't be able to push you
Diplos also love Algae, on 2x official they get ~2.5% per Algae but it doesn't give them much food so they take in <5 mins to tame.
U can knock a diplo and tame it that way too!
Who else uses this as a bus.
Encountered one at the beach, got thrown into the ocean, got swarmed by sharks, got killed by a manta. Be careful at the beach.
They look like they would deal a lot of damage, but if you do not already know, they’ll knock you back and not deal damage.
These Dino’s take years passive taming
In ark mobile these things will for some reason attach you if too close 🆙 so people see this
A way to skip the wait after you initially feed it is to sleep in a sleeping bag (mine was 1 hour and 14 min, i used a bunk bed and it skipped most of that time), then after that feed it a second time, position yourself between its 2 front legs while it is doing its eating animation, so that it will keep attacking but won't knock you back, and just afk and feed it every 25-45 seconds.
also be sure to do this in a safe place, since if it gets hit once your taming progress will reset.
These guys aggro onto you if they see you they are not neutral like i thought they were… at least they only do knockback and not actual damage
You will not realize how great of a tame is thing is until you get one with one that is above 10000 HP. I would recommend this as the first thing to tame right after you can get it’s amazing for a early game tank because of its massive health pool and it can out run animals like the Rex and most animals will ignore you if you are riding on one of these. Best thing is this tame has a lot of weight. Overall a amazing tame to have at early and mid game
Be aware of diplo and cliff. They can push you off the cliff, kill with an argy.
Just give them berries but they will start pushing u away so keep running and when it gets hungry again feed it
