Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a diplodocus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplodocus.
Here is what I did I got 4 dinosaur gates and put 9ne in front of the diplodocus and the back then you can put the other 2 gates beside him and boom just wait crouched and with a gillie suit
These guys can be tamed by getting knocked out or if you want it faster than passive tame it
For everyone earlygame, you can get under a diplo at the right angle where you can feed it but it doesn't hit you or reposition. That, or trap it/'get it stuck to tame it.
A dumb and poor dino....Due its size, Beginners are scared of it...But folks,It does zero damage...Not kidding.It only has a knock effect which does even increase the torpor...You will need tons of berries...Specially,mejos...It would take a while,But take it as your giant harmless puppy dog.It egg is useful...Very useful..
Dont waste your tranqs on it they have alotof torpor
Passive taming is the best
It is a passive tame with mejoberrys and a knock out tame with mejoberrys.
I struggled and a died (due to Rex and alpha raptor) and I got poked no in the eye, my friends here’s an important lesson … DONT GO WITH YOUR DUMB FRIEND INTO A RIVER TO FIND THIS CRAP DINO, THERE WILL BE SPINOS AND T REXES… (sob: Why Kayla why! You said u knew this game like the back of your baby hand)
Saw a level 85 that I figured would be pretty beneficial, but knew the wait time would be agonizing, so I decided to go for my first knock-out tame with these sweethearts.
Don’t. Just. Don’t. I spent tranq darts, arrows, I even went into Creatuve Mode to cheat myself some shocking tranq darts just because I was desperate for SOMETHING to work. Idk how many I wasted but by the time I gave up going for a knock out I knew I would have long finished a passive tame. Just start feeding it and while waiting for that second feed time to initiate, get these sweeties stuck so they don’t chase or wander off and plan for something to do around your base. Set a timer based on however long you think it’ll take for them to get hungry after that first go, or better yet, just toggle ‘track tame’ and it’ll let you know when the taming progress begins to drop that it’s hungry. Gotta start all over now! Heh, I’ll consider it a bit of karma for trying the violent route for these impish yet vexatious giants.
what i did to tame is stand in front of rock so it doesn't knock me back and then feed
He never wants to hurt you
But he’s very pushy cause he wants food
And and a very itchy saddle
Don‘t try taming it close to Allosaurus Lv 112...thank me later
Just going to see if you have the right equipment or stats you can knock this guy out to tame him because the passive is very hard on certain things such as consoles
You can knock them out to tame them but it might be hard givin how much they might launch you across the map.
The first thing you should do to passive tame however, is create some thatch foundation. Place it across some high water and position the dinosaur so when you stand under it, it dosent move. This might take a while but it’s definitely worth it.
Each berry you feed it will raise it by about 2%, but you should probably get about two stacks of berries because of how long it takes, so they will spoil.
When knocking it out you have to be very careful that there isn’t any small animals around. If a compy runs underneath it, you won’t be able to get it out, and it will slowly kill your dinosaur.
I hope this helps!
If you start in the south zone there might be a chance one
Will spawn in the forest or in the swamp then lure it to a safe place make sure to grab 150 berries (any type) and feed it circle it while feeding it the berries and you tamed a diplodocus this guy is a beginner sauropod perfect for level 20s the saddle unlocks in level 32 and you can switch seats while attacking or just play multiplayer and get 10 tribe members to sit on the passenger seats with shotguns or crossbows hope this was helpful😊😊
This is probably the only passive game you should agro but a good way to tame one is to agro it on a flyer preferably a pteranodon they do not much damage and are fast have mejos in ur hot bar and fly above it it’ll just stand there trying to hit you with its head and then dive In on it when you see the orange meet coming of it’s face and feed again easy peasy
I used 53+ tranq arrows using a crossbow on a level 27 one but it didn’t even fall unconscious-t
I tamed a diplo and it was relatively easy so here is how!
1. Agro the diplo and make it chase you, run to a flat place or hill
2. Pillar up on stone pillars and place wooden ladders
3. Continue to shoot the diplo with tranqs
4. When it starts running DO NOT JUMP DOWN it will come back and yeet you
5. Keep trying to shoot it from far away and it will probably come back, if it does just repeat step 3
6. Load some berries or rockaroots in (I recommend rockaroots because mine took 5 mins at level 16)
7. Name your diplo and Enjoy!
Do not stand Near Big cliffs they can push you off and kill you instantly I recommend don’t stand near any cliffs !!
So if you wanna passive tame I found a sweet spot between its front legs in which it will be stuck trying to push you but can not. It takes a bit to find it but once you do just get a bunch of taming good and get yourself a quick transport Dino.
The easiest way to tame it is stand near a ledge or rock where he flings you against and then just feed it berries until tamed.
