What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To prevent the Diplo knocking you away while taming, build a one wall high box for yourself. It'll just push you into the wall and you can keep running over to feed it
These guys are pretty useful, i recomend taming one, because these guys have alot of uses, like transporting resources or if your planning to move somewhere else, and for a sauropod, these guys are incredibly fast and they have alot of knock back so u can easily knock enemies off a cliff. And these things also have ten seats so u and your friends could raid people while having a tanky dino and your friends with their guns, i totally recomend this dino
He has a blind spot at the center of his belly. He will continue to headbutt you,but it will never hit you, and he'll never reposition himself.
Ok, so what you want to do is stay under its belly while it knocks another Dino into a corner.
Try to get it stuck on a man-made ancient structure so that it can’t fling you constantly
Passive tame: Don’t let it get hit, also, if you kill anything near it, make sure you harvest the corpse when it’s not near the corpse
When passive feeding, either keep your distance so that it can’t charge you, or make sure you’re not on a great hight as it will launch you off the side of the hill/mountain, and it’ll hurt, trust me, I’ve made that mistake once, and I never will again.
At lvl 5 I tamed one of these guys from hiding underneath. There are a lot of them in redwood forest that's were I tamed mine. Passive tame.
Stay under its tail so you don’t get too close.
Good for a bus or meat you cowards
Prior to taming a wild one, it was being attacked by a bunch of troodons. The stamina drain had its food so low I got 6 feeds in the first 5 minutes, shaved a good 15 mins off. Something to consider.
Quite mobile for its size, it can run pretty fast. A good berry gatherer early game, and only berry gatherer. Its defence is only fast running and knocking off enemies. Although skilled - or sick on a head - can use it to deal some significant damage to other players by knocking them off the cliff.
I'm not sure if it's just the server I play on but take it down if you cant use crops on passive tame I tried all 4.
NOBODY TOLD ME THEY TRY TO MURDER YOU WHEN YOU FEED THEN
Because of their hitbox you can feed whilst on a flyer. Only tested with a tapejara. Makes taking super safe and easy
Standing under its belly definetly works after wasting 80 tranq arrows barely did any damage to a lvl 35 diplo. Just don’t let the food run minimally low otherwise you lose the tame effectiveness.... upvote !
Just stand between it’s front legs and feed it there. You know you did it right if he doesn’t knock you back
