Encountering Tips

How do I kill a diplodocus? diplodocus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Me and a buddy started a new Center, and we’re mid game so I thought I would knock out tame a Diplo. So I go and start shooting it with a cross bow and Tranqs and my crossbow breaks, so my buddy covers me while I get my second one. After a little while the thing still hasn’t gone down and my SECOND crossbow breaks, so I grab a normal bow and chase the Diplo. Of course the bow breaks and I run out of tranqs, so I decide to go full Chuck Norris and throw some punches. 20 minutes later and I’ve got Fist The Diplo.
The only good thing about these is the weight and nock back
Easy kill just stand under it and hack away with a sword or any melee weapon and then get yourself some meat.
If you encounter one of these guys, trust me anything can kill them. Even just a dodo! The reason for this is because Diplocodus has only one attack, that’s a knock back. It won’t even hurt you unless it throws you off a cliff. Would not recommend taming, it is useless unless you plan to use it as bait for big carnivores. Kill Diplocodus for raw prime. Best source for prime because it is defenseless.
It can't attack you when you're on it's back
More realistic for them to spawn in packs
When I find these guys I know I found myself some easy xp
I tried to passive tame one of these, but it ATTACKED ME!
WHY HE DO THIS?!?!
WTFFFFF????????
I was trying to tame a level 2 and i had shot it with 23 tranc arrows and it stupidly decided to walk into the ocean and the tranc arrows finally kicked in at the wrong moment and i had to watch helplessly as it drowned and got eaten by a pack of megladons so the moriel is 23 tranc arrows are enough to take down a diplodocus like if this helped
I was trying to catch a level 2 diplodocus i shot it with 23 tranc arrows when it stupidly ran into the ocean and i spent an hour preparing to catch it so i felt so bad when i watched a group of megladons eat it right in front of me so yeah remember to be more prepared
Just a big pushover, they can’t attack you. Just keep walking in circles under him and S T O M P H I S K N E E C A P S B A C K W A R D S
Go under it’s Bally and it can not get you and use your weapon
To kill it to tame it takes for aveeeeer
I used to be terrified of these things because of there health best way to kill one is with trunk arrows then kill it a level 2 only takes 19 track arrows
Don’t make the same mistake I did I always thought that I Agro them by walking up to them don’t make the same mistake.
So I started a new Center with a friend and we’re mid game so I decide to take on a Diplo. I made a couple hundred tranqs just in case, and started shooting with my crossbow. So eventually my crossbow breaks, so I switch to a backup while my buddy keeps blasting away with tranqs. So his breaks too at the same time that my backup breaks, so I try a normal bow, which of course breaks, so I go full Chuck Norris and start throwing punches. 30 minutes later I’ve my new bud Fist The Diplo.
