Ok so my feelings on this animal: I absolutely love this creature. So fast that any creatures prone to going aggro on us never even see us because of how fast we are going. Also super helpful in carrying loads of heavy stuff and plenty of stamina my only issue is I have the same feelings about the fact that the diplo shall be able to defend his or herself with the tail when stuck cornered and being attacked multiple times if you’re stuck at the moment and need a hot minute to get unstuck and flee. So I agree with other players who feel the same way. Being attacked by a bunch of stupid mean insects or a dilo or compys leaves you with no choice but to flee on your diplo. That’s good because diplo is fast but then you got to come back through the area to complete what you’re were working on such as taming a creature in the area or collecting something and then you get attacked again and that’s not good. So yea super annoying and have to go through the work of destroying the meanies by shooting them off or hitting them with my pick or spear. Other than that diplo is awesome has lots of health and stamina and speed and ability to carry loads of heavy stuff. For now I’ll just be grateful that the best defense is to run away cos they are fast and at least can nudge the meanies away over and over till the meanies are destroyed. The end.

Diplo eggs should be a Large egg instead of a Medium like they say. Change my mind

These are very useful creatures, both as wild and tamed

In the wild they are very accessible sources of sauropod vertebrae, easy prime meat and normal meat

They are very useful as mid game mounts because they have a large weight and a fast movement speed

They also are good gatherers

You can also carry 11 people on the saddle but that’s not very useful

Finally on Mobile there is a daily quest that requires taming one of them so just tame one and keep it in a corner

The only problems is that you can learn the engram quite late, but if you find one in a drop it’s not a problem

They are a pain to tame but the process is quite easy, just take some berries and afk for a while

Also they are quite defenceless so make sure you outrun / avoid dangerous creatures (any predators in general, including dilos)

I finally got to taming one of these good bois. I have constructed an L-shaped home and lured one until I got cornered. Tamed my good boi Dippy by feeding him berries and though he always tried smacking me into oblivion, he can’t because I got my back against the house. Just a tip ao you won’t see yourself flying!

If you want to go and farm up mountains and are in a tribe of 10or more people it is very easy to get resources as you can up their weight a ton. Have at least 2000 stamina and quite high movement speed. It’s also worth having around 1600 health. Picture this. You are up a mountain with ten tribe members on the diplo. They all have... let’s say 2 metal picks. Flak armour, a metal sword and a assault rifle with a lot of bullets. 5 gets Of and starts mining. A Rex pops up and the still boarded 5 people shoot it. I when it gets too close diplodocus shoves it back and it dies of being shot. And you carry on getting metal and other resources.

To make the taming process less infuriating in case you don't like flying around, do as follows:

1. Lure it to open terrain

2. Feed it - it will then stand still feeding for a short time

3. Position yourself right left of its front left leg

4. Don't move and enjoy being push around by the leg while it tries to reach you with its head.

5. After the initial feed you wait 5-15 minutes for it to become hungry again. After that this interval is reduced to 1 minute. You can now feed it every 1 minute with mejoberries until tamed

How to tell the difference between a diplo and a bronto is a bronto has a curved neck while a diplo has straight neck

These things are health beasts I got 2 rexes 1 spino from him

Just use them for Rex XP because they just knock you back with weak-ish damage

Just stay under a rock so it can’t hit you away and just feed it the berry’s that they tell you to use I used this to tame mine

Very useful on pvp servers, can unbury enemy reapers. Profit.

Best tame live bait for that charca dino just three with high health was enough to tame that giga on steroids

People think the diplodocus is useless, but it has some uses. Here is a guide to it! #1. The Diplodocus is found in the Redwoods, and I think some beaches. It will not hurt you, but will knock you back far. They are a passive tame, but will take forever to tame, so be patient. #2. The diplodocus is fast when tamed, and can push enemies away. Their saddle might not be great for single player, but on multiplayer, it can transport up to 10 people. You can transport others to battlefields. #3. It can not damage when tamed, but is still useful. This is my guide to the diplodocus, and I hope you think different about it! Signed, Pickle844Luvr P.S. I am sorry I didn’t have much to say about it.

They don’t hurt you and they can’t break anything

ARK’s giant dinosaur bus.sorry it needed more words because “a helpful tip requires more words”

If you don't have a ghille suit, build one foundation and place 3 walls around you and leave an opening, get it to come at you and run to the box. He will stay there with you forever trying to push you in your box, then just walk forward and check if he needs feeding

Scary face but 0% melee damage 😬

U can also knock out tame these guys which saves a ton of time

Tip for mobile players:

If you need them for their eggs, which can be used for allosaurus kibble, they can be found in plentiful numbers on the hills surrounding the red obelisk where the olive trees are.

Dont be next to a cliff, walk in circles to make it hungery faster, have atleast 20 of berrys
