ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are very useful creatures, both as wild and tamed
In the wild they are very accessible sources of sauropod vertebrae, easy prime meat and normal meat
They are very useful as mid game mounts because they have a large weight and a fast movement speed
They also are good gatherers
You can also carry 11 people on the saddle but thatโs not very useful
Finally on Mobile there is a daily quest that requires taming one of them so just tame one and keep it in a corner
The only problems is that you can learn the engram quite late, but if you find one in a drop itโs not a problem
They are a pain to tame but the process is quite easy, just take some berries and afk for a while
Also they are quite defenceless so make sure you outrun / avoid dangerous creatures (any predators in general, including dilos)
More Diplodocus Utility Tips
Free high quality meat, including the glorious prime meat and free gigantic eggs but push you off a cliff to a pack of allos,
typical redwood moments
While they can only push stuff, diplos do have an offensive ability; trample which can kill some critters. What can it trample? I forget for ASE but on ASA it can trample small untameable bugs. All (or most) large creatures have trample in either version however it is not as lethal as getting trampled by a dino in other games.
Should have special saddle with spiked tail and head armor and when they attack it does knockback and damage up Iโd you think this good isea
Everyone saying the Diplo needs a tail whip attack and platform saddle, seriously if you want that get a bronto, the Diplo has its purpose and so does the bronto, making one into the other makes one redundant and totally useless. Brontos are attackers and portable bases, diplos are a hybrid of speed and capacity, no one would complain about a gallimimus that can carry eleven people and still have space to spare for three tonnes of cargo, but they do complain about a Diplo which is essentially that in terms of functionality.
Well their saddle holds 11 people so if u were to give 11 noobs assault rifles with 1000 ammo each you might just have the ultimate killing machine. probably not the best idea.
Best easy prime meat source when taming. Defenseless massive walking meat pile
Not as useless as you might think! A high-level spino was terrorizing a nearby river. I took my diplo (Dylan) and while the spino was focused on killing Dylan, I was using my crossbow and rifle to do damage to it. Spino ended up dead, while Dylan was at 2000 out of 3000 health, and I was not injured at all.
Love u Dylan
This bad boi is useful on cliffs cuz you can push danger off just like my diplo a random guy with a giga started raiding us but they failed as they were pushed by my diplo the giga died with the rider lol ๐๐๐
These are INCREDIBLY useful tames to have in mobile, and hereโs why:
In Raids; In mobile, we donโt have cryopods. Due to this, turret soaking becomes a problem, in that itโs 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 youโve got your replacement in under 12 minutes.
Used as a construction tool, theyโre 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 heโs very fast, with 10 seats in his saddle. If you need to move base, heโs your man.
Thatโs my Ted talk, up for noobs to see.
This thing Should do a tail whip if hurt that does some damage ๐ This if you think this is a good idea .Also some credit to the people who thought this was a good idea to๐ต thanks and have a great day.
