What are tips for diplodocus? Tips and strategies for diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Diplo's are super tanky. Everyone doesnt realize this is now the BEST bullet tank in the game. When heath is low, sprint out with no problem. Unlike the bronto, the Diplo is very fast. While passive taming, realize that first feeding you have about 15 minutes until next feeding. Then all quick after that.
Awesome for taming because it is a passive tame, and it is very good for taming other Dinosaurs because it can push back the Dino without damaging it
Stay under it's belly so that you don't get pushed
No, it doesn't need a platform saddle. No, it doesn't need to be able to do damage. It has plenty of uses without these, being able to move lots of resources quickly, clear bases of wild dinos without aggroing them, and being among the best for draining turrets, being able to run by them and soak any that hit. If you want a platform saddle and tail whip. Get a bronto.
When passive taming, it declines Savoroot and rockcarrots.
Today I learned they push you when there's hostile dinosaurs around. Either there trying to give you to the aggressive creatures or there trying to help you.
Did you guys know that this beautiful dino is the ONLY dino you can passive tame AND knock out tame? It's pretty cool :)
Very annoying when they come upon your nicely organized dinos and start throwing them.
If you find this guy on a mountain get ready to get knocked out of the orbit.
TIP FOR PASSIVE TAME!!
If you want to passive tame it, stand beneath his chest area so it can't reach you when trying to knock you back and feed it with mejoberries until it's tamed.
For anyone that wants to passive tame it here is an area under it where he will play the push animation but it wont actually push you this leaves you only with the annoying rawring to deal with for more than 10 mins
Good tanks for raids! Use as a frontline attack in front of Brontos or Gigas etc, can push tames back when attacking so you can use this for defence too. Their high speed allows you to run from turrets when on low health. Worth it when passive tamed as the low kib needed means you can tame more.
I’m planing on taming one (👍if it’s worth it, 👎if it’s not)
Jurassic Bio: Diplodocus
Name means: Double Beam
Period: Late Jurassic
Diet: Herbivore
Height: 30ft
Length: 90ft
Description: Diplodocus was the 2nd longest dinosaur in history (1st was memenchisaurus). Unlike its relative, Brachiosaurus, it stood completely horizontally. It likely would’ve used its whip like tail as a weapon against predators.

Legit no lie, if you want to knock out tame them, you can punch it out without being flung to Asia. As long as you camp near any on the legs, you’re golden!
Stand between their front legs, right at bottom of their neck. So u will never knock back, feed them from there
When taming to make it easier stand against a cliff or a good sized rock. I tamed one for my brother and it was a piece of cake with that technique. Also if you find that the place you find the diplodocus isn’t safe just get near it and lead it away. They won’t hurt you they just like to swat you around like they are playing a game of soccer.
