Tips & Strategies

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.
The first time you feed it it goes really slow but after that it’s like every 15 seconds(berries)
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.
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.
Nah. I remember I was in a high cliff and It threw me off. I died.
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
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.
Do not punch it when you are 15min away from finishing a passive tame of a level 140...:/
Just make sure you aren’t at the edge of a cliff...
Name it taxi or uber and charge people to ride on it
Wear a ghille suit, they won't attack
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😭
Poor guys just wanna make friends but accidentally yeets them of a cliff
Can passive tame OR knock it out, for more food though.
Grapple hook on to it. Hold to Reel yourself in, continuously feeding it while staying grappled. Rarely will hit you as it spins trying to reach you. Grapple wont releas because as long as you dont hit it, it wont count as combat
