What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Better not stand near a cliff around these guys, trust me I learned the hard way.
They pose little damage because they don't do damage. Just be careful around cliffs as they do inflict knock back, and may knock you off of a cliff, or toward a dangerous dinosaur
They are unique. The only dino that has the playful nature, the only dino that can be tamed in any way, ect.
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...
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.
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.
Diplo is that one crewmate who trusts everyone…
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!

To tame get behind there front legs
For no knock back
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.
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
