What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tried passive taming a lvl40 on mobile and it only went up by 2% every feed.. takes a long time
You can take it by having a good amount of mejoberries then allign yourself under it to where it stands still and can't knock you back. You can easy kill it too to get a saurpod vertebra I got one that way
An easy way of taming a one is take it in a safe spot and go against a big Rock to where she or he is always trying to knock u back (makes the tame a bit faster too) and feed mejoberries when it says up if helpful please 😁
Stay away from cillfs or u be ded if u battle them bring a dodo or dung beetle
Stand in between its front legs and it’ll spam its push but you’ll be out of its attack zone so you can just stand there and non-violently tame it. Easy way to save some narcotics
If you stand underneath his front legs he will head butt repeatedly and you can just stand underneath and feed him. Easy to tame (:
Sure Diplos can't actually hurt you or creatures, but having one is not too bad. Picture this: You have a diplodocus at you base, along with some stronger dinos like Rexs or allos, when all of the sudden you get the notification that you dodo has d!ed! Your heart sinks as you run outside of your base to see what creature did it, and you see a wild Rex chomping away at your dinos! You whistle your tames to attack the rex, as they're attacking, you see your diplodocus trying to k!ll the rex even though it is doing no damage. But that goes to show to diplodocus is pretty good! With the diplodocus's playful head nudge it can push the threat away allowing your strong tames to get the damage in! Diplodocus is pretty RAD!
A diplo is such a good exploring mount in multi player because one player moves the diplo while all the other players shoot of the sides of the diplo i tested this with my tribe and we destroyed our enemies tribe and the the enemies rexes got killed in seconds because of our ascendant pump action shotguns best of all the diplo never came close to death and the loot was insane one vault had two titanosaurus saddles
Just go close to him and he'll yeet you & your fellow tames outta orbit!
If you want to pasively tame this guy, you can place yourself somewhere where he can't knock you away. He doesn't do any damage at all, so placing yourself with the back against a big wall would stop him from throwing you. All you need is a lot of patience and mejorberry
Just caught my first diplo today not that hard. He was already half health after a battle with some raptors and dilos . Used 20 tranq arrows and with some patience it was knocked out use mejo beries and if doing starve taming i recommend waiting for at least 20 minutes if its level 15-20 . That's what I did to be exact
I don't know why they are aggressive when you go close to them.
If you up it's movement to 150, its guaranteed to out run any Dino. Perfect for scouting or unleashing a guerilla assault with friends!
Its not aggressive its just playing your not taking damage just tame it its great. It passively tames. 1 get berries 2 put in hotbar 3 find one 4 tame
Stand behind its front legs in between it cant hit u
Taking this sauropod is no joke, but here are some tips to help you out:
1. Knockout taming is a little easier, and faster, however, it requires much more food, and in passive taming, the effectiveness is higher, either is ok, so choose one that works for you, I just prefer passive taming it
2. I highly recommend a trap, knocking it out would be difficult without, and could kill you, if it knocks you off a cliff. In passive, any time it is hit by a wild creature, it resets the taming bar, so a trap is essential, especially the higher level it is.
3. Honestly Mejos work great, but are a lot slower, yet easier to get than kibble. Effectiveness is near perfect with them so don’t worry.
4. If passive taming, you can stand slightly farther back than its back legs, and it will try to hit you and be unable, so it will keep trying to hit, and you can stand there forever, feeding it
5. After the first feed (in passive taming), it needs to wait around 15 to 25 minutes (in my experience) before it eats again. Then it is around 20 seconds, unless its hunger is full, in which case it will let you feed it again when it goes down enough for whatever food you are using.
Hope this was helpful, happy taming!
Easiest way to tame these is to build a 4 by 4 with door frames 2 high all the way around. The diplo will attack the structures and not you this way you can get right underneath his belly. I prefer to use kibble, berries take way too long. Up if you find this useful
