Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a diplodocus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplodocus.
How to get a diplo:
Know that it is easiest to passive tame them, which means walking up to them and feeding them
Get a TON of berries, everytime you feed it, it will go up like 3-5%
Have a high speed, high attack flying dino, (high attack in case you "miss click")
HAVE PATIENCE, diplo's are a stubborn tame, they will push you playfully (hence the flying dino)
MAKE SURE there are no carnivores around, if there are carnies around it will attack it there is a chance of it dying, it will get rid of all your hard work, and most importantly, IT MAY DIE (R.I.P. attempted tame #1 + 2 😢)
Plz note I am not an "high level player" that has a giga, I am lvl 50, (51 at the time I wrote this, almost 52) so I am not that experienced, tho I am sorta, I don't know that much about the game
UP IF HELPFUL
When passively taking, keep in mind that there is a large gap of time between their first food item and second. Afterwards the food drain proceeds normally
how to tame:
Very easy tame, you will need:
Mejoberries
really any berries
Put the mejoberries in your last slot, and go under its belly and feed it.
It won't kill you, but it will throw you up in the air a bit(a bit if your lucky, i meant).
It might take a bit of feeding and getting thrown in the air, but soon, you will have a retarded ass dinosaur that gets stuck everywhere.
I recommend getting a soothing balm when taming it on berries it only goes up like three % even on mejoberrys so I got a soothing balm and fed it to him and now it goes up like 35% each time I feed him my dippy name is mango I almost tame a therizinosaurus with him but I ran out of biotoxin and it killed me
Passive tamed a level 12 (+5 levels) with 15 mejoberries. If you can situate yourself under it’s legs, specifically between the two front ones, the diplo will continue to try and bump you back but will be unsuccessful. It will do this move over and over again, and drain its stamina and hunger faster, which leads to a faster tame.
When there wild there pretty slow
But when there tamed....
ZOOOOOMMMM
When taming or fighting, you can stand under their belly and not be knocked back. It may take a few trys but they do no damage to you anyway.
The first time you feed it it goes really slow but after that it’s like every 15 seconds(berries)
When trying to tame they are a passive tame meaning you don’t knock it out.Also keep in mind when trying to tame they are extremely playful and will try to push you back.
I was exploring the forest when I saw a razor tail whip though the sky. I carefully approached and it did not care for me. If you jump of run or make any sudden movements near it it will start knocking you back with it’s head. Now being nicked back is kind of fun but it will remember you and follow you. You will not take damage from it, to tame you hide under it’s belly and start feeding it any type of berry you can, make sure your other games are not near it when you are taming it!
Name it taxi or uber and charge people to ride on it
I’m planing on taming one (👍if it’s worth it, 👎if it’s not)
When I saw a Diplodocus I went up to it and feed it but thank god they can't kill they just only push people sometimes the diplodocus is useful cause it can just push a Carnivore off the cliff and its already tamed
Grapple hook onto the diplo so you can just press e when its hungry
When you feed them they will start to bump you with their heads if you think you might have punched him or something that's just him playing he's not attacking you if your at a low level like me just tame a parasaur or phiomia craft it a saddle gather as many berries as possible (something like 130 berries in case some spoil then get on your mount and put the berries in your hot bar go up to the dippy feed it a berry and get on your mount and run away until the dippy stops chasing you (remember he's only playing but it still does some damage) then come back right after and he won't keep bumping until you feed it again then run out of his sight then come back feed and run and just repeat the same thing over and over feed run repeat (I'm on mobile) diplodocus are really cool dinosaurs
This is how you really Tame one you go up to it if u see it’s hungry feed it the purple berrys get under it first and stay under it still it stop and move and get more berrys till it get 100% must have good body armor for this task!❗️
Feed it once, go to the bathroom, grab a snack, watch your favorite movie, take a shower, have dinner with the family, tame a rex and then feed it again
The knockback can be a pain so just go prone it won't knock you back and if you slowly go forward there's a point where the diplo continues to try to hit u but you get no knock back even when standing, hope this helps
Be in a safe open area and have plenty of mejo berries in you 0 slot. Give berry, run around it to make it use energy, give another berry till it's tamed. I wanted one and got it before my knocked out tame was at 43%. I hope this helps.
The taming here is way off. I just tamed a lvl 17 Diplodocus in under 1 hour, using 25-30 Mejoberries, with 99-100% efficiency.
