Here’s an easy-ish way to tame these guys if you don’t have access to tranq arrows or if you do but your bow won’t accept them (happens to me every time xD) find a rock to climb on top by their tail or build a thatch building, one base, three walls high and a roof on top at the opposite end as the ladder (the ladder shall face the same way the foundation is facing in comparison to the roof) and climb onto their backs. This way they can’t push you (they are trying to be friendly and they think that pushing you is a game. It’s technically more of a “nuzzle”, though they tend to underestimate their own strength). Just be sure you have a boatload of berries on your hands and you can feed it until it’s tamed whilst getting a ride.
Go under it’s Bally and it can not get you and use your weapon
To kill it to tame it takes for aveeeeer
I used to be terrified of these things because of there health best way to kill one is with trunk arrows then kill it a level 2 only takes 19 track arrows
Don’t make the same mistake I did I always thought that I Agro them by walking up to them don’t make the same mistake.
Use 350 mojoberrys for a level 1 should take 2 hours there u go
About as fast as a running Managarmr, tankier than a Paraceratherium, and has twelve seats. It can't deal damage, can't give knockback to players under it, and doesn't have the ability to have a box made to protect the rider. Not useful for soaking, and you might as well just use a Megachelon for greater level knockback.
I have unlimited time/resources so what’s faster knock take or passive
Most annoying taming process ever, really makes you wonder if it's even worth it. You have to hand feed them berries in order to tame them but when you get close to one they just knock you around. Super annoying! I've attempted to tame one 3 times but I cannot handle the constant pushing around for a whole hour. Otherwise I'm sure they would be good tames.
So I started a new Center with a friend and we’re mid game so I decide to take on a Diplo. I made a couple hundred tranqs just in case, and started shooting with my crossbow. So eventually my crossbow breaks, so I switch to a backup while my buddy keeps blasting away with tranqs. So his breaks too at the same time that my backup breaks, so I try a normal bow, which of course breaks, so I go full Chuck Norris and start throwing punches. 30 minutes later I’ve my new bud Fist The Diplo.
They take about 8 bites. If not 8 then 7 or 9 but most times 8. You can hang back behind them and count their chomps. I tried going under. People said they don’t care but the one I tamed kept making me going in circles to avoid getting pushed. I decided to hang back instead by a fair distance like at the tip of the tail
I was taming a level 3 and he wanted tintoberries every 30 seconds. I stayed under his belly and every time he had a berry his tame went up around 2%.
I found it super easy to knock it out rather than passive tame, just put a bunch of Tranqs in it give it some berries and depending on the level, a few narcotics. You don’t usually need many narcotics.
To tame a diplodocus the easiest way is to run under it where it can’t hit you and just keep feeding it. 💥 diplodocus tamed!
