What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Always check for dangers while taming it. This thing is found in mountains and valleys and also sometimes it throws me into a spino or a carno or a pack of raptors
Whoever said tame by standing between (or just behind) front legs, is very much right! Just be careful not to get attacked or let it get attacked by some other raptor or something. Reset the tame meter.
KEEP IN MIND! If you dare to breed these... the babies eat TONS of berries QUICKLY! Put probably a couple thousand berries in its inventory and it might last you a bit...
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 :]
I will say these are a bit obnoxious in passive taming but as stated the belly is easiest hide out untill tamed. Kibble is best for shorter tame. I'm glad it ignores littler creatures underfoot otherwise my Pippin lthenLysosairus and Mosichops would be dead. The fallow gap is wide. Anyone notice the dance each time you level them? I called my girl Tremor for a reason 😂 Seriously get the smithy and go to work right away on saddle even after taming. Resource harvesting is easier with them as they're large and can carry much more
Don't count on dododex to be accurate with timers or with the amount of kibble needed.. expect to bring extra kibble and allow the starve timer to run just a bit longer before feeding.. too many times I have been left looking at a 90% taming and zero kibble in its inventory, even with higher level kibble. Bring extra. I've gone and been let down too many times going by what this app says to use.. don't be like me.
As a resident diplo daddy, I love these guys.
They're easy enough to tame and have great health, stamina and weight.
In most cases, when you ride solo, the few things that attack it can be easily overtaken and escaped from (notable exceptions being the rhyniognatha and wyverns). This, combined with their stat spread, makes them great for safely hauling resources over long distances. They can also be used as a host for acquiring a rhyniognatha, should you wish to.
These are naturally peace-loving creatures, preferring to spend the days grazing about the island’s many hills and valleys. They have an inherently playful nature, leaving them undeterred by any predators until they become severely injured, at which point they get scared and will attempt to flee. Because of this, tamers have taken advantage of this overtly trusting nature and have tamed it like so. They have also tried to jump on it’s back for taming, usually just to find themselves tumbling back down to the ground again. The Diplodocus is so trusting that one can even knock one unconscious for an easier tame, at the cost of tranquilizer arrows, and a fair bit of them. Also, be careful during the taming process as they tend to nuzzle you in an act of affection during so, and be careful if traveling near a Diplodocus who is unaware of your presence with a berry-gathering animal, because it will gladly take an accidental hit during gathering as a play-invitation.
How to tame : Get mejoberries / Or kibble. Then go up to a wall after getting its attention then just start feeding it it’s so simple. ( Also don’t try to knock it out )
Trying to knock it out I haven’t tried but I don’t think your able to take it it’s knocked!

- Yw if this works ( Up if this game enough info I don’t think it was enough :] )
Diplo is that one crewmate who trusts everyone…
Seem slow, look weak, and called useless. Wrong. They amazing, they fast when running and stamina last a good while. The saddle can hold 11 people, with 10 being able to all shoot darts at once. Focus speed and weight, run around tranqing and taming everything. It’s a all terrain vehicle. Passive or unconscious tame. Outruns most Dino’s, too. Faster than a Equus, and with a bunch of people you can have extremely fun time.
We use this to tame stuff, sometimes a Tapejara.
8/10 tame.
3/10 if solo tho.
To tame get behind there front legs
For no knock back
The besy way i have learned to tame this dino is to stand behind it frunt legs under it belly
DO NOT go near a diplo near a high cliff
These are very useful. They don’t do any damage but when you get a saddle you can use it to push animals away without aggroing it. It’s really easy to tame. Either knock it out while going backwards. Or get under its front legs and it will stop moving so you can passive tame it. Up if helpful
