What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The first time you feed it it goes really slow but after that it’s like every 15 seconds(berries)
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 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.
I feel so bad for them cause in the redwoods (where my base is) I see them fighting terror birds and since they can’t do damage they just slowly die
Do not punch it when you are 15min away from finishing a passive tame of a level 140...:/
These are INCREDIBLY useful tames to have in mobile, and here’s why:
In Raids; In mobile, we don’t have cryopods. Due to this, turret soaking becomes a problem, in that it’s difficult and takes time to get all tames you need to soak to the enemy base. These guys are very fast, very easy to tame, and are tanky health-sinks even at low levels; making them the PERFECT soakers in mobile. need more? Go get some balm and mejoberries, and you’ve got your replacement in under 12 minutes.
Used as a construction tool, they’re the same size as a bronto, meaning you can easily build tall structures & tree platform bases using his sheer height. He has a lot of weight as well, meaning if you have an enormous amount of metal walls/pillars/ what have you, he can hold it for you.
Used for transportation, the same is true; he has SO MUCH WEIGHT! And he’s very fast, with 10 seats in his saddle. If you need to move base, he’s your man.
That’s my Ted talk, up for noobs to see.
Just make sure you aren’t at the edge of a cliff...
Name it taxi or uber and charge people to ride on it
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.
Wear a ghille suit, they won't attack
They should make this thing's attack do 0.1 damage instead of zero so hackers can get 1000% melee diplos with max mutations that can do one damage then trade them for irl cash on the "market".
But then whenever you try to knock back a dino it will still do damage meaning neutral dinos will get mad at you.
If you stand in the perfect spot between its 2 front legs the diplo will constantly try to "attack" you but won't knock you back nor reposition itself to get a better chance of "attacking" you so if you have a stack of mejoberries you can feed it once, afk until the first interval finishes (this can take anywhere from 24 minutes up to an hour and 15 minutes if its a level 150) then after that you can feed it every 43 seconds until its tamed. If you use mejoberries the taming effectiveness will decrease by so little that if you are taming a level 150 you will still gain the 74 levels with 99.4% taming effectiveness. However if you are playing multi your diplo will instead gain 72 levels which is still good.
This method works because there is a small blind spot near the diplo's 2 front legs that is WITHIN its attack range but OUTSIDE OF its attack aoe.
If you play on old ark mobile then you will occasionally see dilos gang up on diplos until the diplo dies, if you switched to ark use you no longer have to see this as dilos are aggressive to less creatures.
I feel really bad for these guys.Sometimes I see them getting killed my raptors,terrorbirds,carnos,ect and everytime i see one getting killed i have that strong urge to help the diplo... C'mon terror birds or raptors mess with something your'e own size i feel bad for them i really do😭
Nah. I remember I was in a high cliff and It threw me off. I died.
Can passive tame OR knock it out, for more food though.
