What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
They are very useful, they can carry I think 10 people at once (not sure about the number). You do need metal and 800 hide though. People on the chairs not controlling the Dino can shoot things below.
They are fast, have good knock back, and have good health pool. I think it’s a good mid-game tame.
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 (:
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
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 up it's movement to 150, its guaranteed to out run any Dino. Perfect for scouting or unleashing a guerilla assault with friends!
I don't know why they are aggressive when you go close to them.
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
Stand behind its front legs in between it cant hit u
Welcome to my series, Tips for Mobile!
Today we will cover the passive taming method.
DISCLAIMER: I play on easier difficulty. All of my tips are based on what I have experienced. You may have a different experience.
Taming Supplies
- Mejoberries (just take as many as you can, also to feed you as you may be there awhile)
- A weapon to defend yourself and/or your soon-to-be tame.
Instructions
- Go up to it and feed mejoberry.
- Wait.
- Repeat.
Notes
- The first feed is the longest.
- Between feeds, it will hit you and knock you back, but in my case, I took no damage.
- Find something to keep behind you so you dont get yeeted into orbit
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
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
