These are good to kill for xp since they just knock you back
To make the taming process less infuriating in case you don't like flying around, do as follows:
1. Lure it to open terrain
2. Feed it - it will then stand still feeding for a short time
3. Position yourself right left of its front left leg
4. Don't move and enjoy being push around by the leg while it tries to reach you with its head.
5. After the initial feed you wait 5-15 minutes for it to become hungry again. After that this interval is reduced to 1 minute. You can now feed it every 1 minute with mejoberries until tamed
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.
Long neck dude pushed me off of a cliff where there was a gig 🗿🗿
Just get under them and feed then and try to stay under them, they won't be able to push you.
Before u tame its melee damage is 0 only does knockback
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.
These guys are commonly found on beaches and they can be outran by just simply running these guys are slow when they aren’t tamed but they run pretty fast once tamed regular kibble is their favorite food but Mejo berries work too I recommend mejo berries because of how their easily found by harvesting bushes I hoped this helped
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.
If it dies it springs in the air
Me rn chilling under a female slowly passive taming 😎she pushes my dimorphodon so I don’t have to dance under her
You can just stand under one and it won't be able to push you
U can knock a diplo and tame it that way too!
Who else uses this as a bus.
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
