What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Legit no lie, if you want to knock out tame them, you can punch it out without being flung to Asia. As long as you camp near any on the legs, you’re golden!

Description: Diplodocus was the 2nd longest dinosaur in history (1st was memenchisaurus). Unlike its relative, Brachiosaurus, it stood completely horizontally. It likely would’ve used its whip like tail as a weapon against predators.

TIP FOR PASSIVE TAME!!
If you want to passive tame it, stand beneath his chest area so it can't reach you when trying to knock you back and feed it with mejoberries until it's tamed.
Stand between their front legs, right at bottom of their neck. So u will never knock back, feed them from there
When taming to make it easier stand against a cliff or a good sized rock. I tamed one for my brother and it was a piece of cake with that technique. Also if you find that the place you find the diplodocus isn’t safe just get near it and lead it away. They won’t hurt you they just like to swat you around like they are playing a game of soccer.

Poor diplos they just want to be your friend :(
Stand under legs for no knockback so u can tame but earrape
Just get under them and you already won
Best Creature to tame since u can use it as a pack mule, it has high Health to sponge dmg, and great weight to lugg around materials, resources and even weaponry! Evn tho its a huge sauropod it can even run moderately fast, the only bad thing is it doesn't do dmg but at least it can knock back enemies off cliffs :]
You need about 100 Mejoberries. You should probably tame it around a bushy area, so you can keep collecting berries. Do not attack a Diplodocus! Just get close and start feeding it mejoberies. Feed it one mejoberry every time it says to. Diplodocus will knock you around during taming. This is not an attack. It's just playing.
Dodoex lied. They do damage anywhere form 0-Instakill.
Here's a attack list:
push (10- instakill)
Yeet (instakill)
THIS IS SPARTA (where is my body?)
The only reason you might find one is because there is a dangerous Dino near just like brontosaurus they spawn in the areas of dangerous Dino’s so be careful I saved 5 from raptors and terror birds. #savethedinos
While taming, keep a close eye on your surroundings. Nothing is more annoying than almost taming a diplodocus and a dilo comes out of the bushes and bites it (which resets the tame bar)
They are very playful and like pushing you back. If you can get underneath them you can stay there (they won’t move out of fear of hurting you and they can’t pish you away) and you can tame them for there. I go right under their stomach and it is best to come under from behind.
Best place to find them is in a valley, get him/her stuck next to a cliff. Settle under 'em, just behind the front legs. They stop eating because they are trying to push you away. I stayed in place the whole time. Level 35 used about 33 berries, total time, including getting 'em to stick against the cliff side, 35 minutes. Second berry is like a 5 minute wait from the first berry. After that every 30 seconds or so add a berry. Obviously the higher levels will need more berries and time. Hope it helps.
they just want to play...
If you want to take it, get a ton of berries and walk under it. There is a spot under it were it keeps attacking you but cannot hit you. If you find this, look straight up and feed. It doesn't move and can't hurt you
Don’t let anyone tell you the diplodocus is completely useless. I’ve found a VERY viable use for it (especially in aberration)
The diplo may not be able to defend itself however its pretty dang fast,, it also has a crap ton of weight. So I use my diplo for metal runs. On the island I used it as an argument of sorts instead of carrying an anky with an argy (I had just started at the time) I tamed a diplo and used it to carry all my metal to and from base. And because the diplo is really fast it made the journey way less slower than it would’ve been. I now use my diplo in aberration as a permanent argy, except I gather the metal with my anky and cryopod it with all the metal in my diplo
