Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a diplodocus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplodocus.
You can passive tame this and they play with you SO DONT TAME ON CLIFF
The Dododex lies! It can break Thatch and Wood! And possibly gravity.
They can’t knock you back if you’re on a ladder, so stay on a ladder and you’ll get a diplodicus.
If you manage to stand directly below them you won’t be headbutted so do that and feed it berries.enjoy your diplo!
I tried passive taming a lvl40 on mobile and it only went up by 2% every feed.. takes a long time
You can take it by having a good amount of mejoberries then allign yourself under it to where it stands still and can't knock you back. You can easy kill it too to get a saurpod vertebra I got one that way
An easy way of taming a one is take it in a safe spot and go against a big Rock to where she or he is always trying to knock u back (makes the tame a bit faster too) and feed mejoberries when it says up if helpful please 😁
Stand in between its front legs and it’ll spam its push but you’ll be out of its attack zone so you can just stand there and non-violently tame it. Easy way to save some narcotics
If you stand underneath his front legs he will head butt repeatedly and you can just stand underneath and feed him. Easy to tame (:
If you want to pasively tame this guy, you can place yourself somewhere where he can't knock you away. He doesn't do any damage at all, so placing yourself with the back against a big wall would stop him from throwing you. All you need is a lot of patience and mejorberry
If you up it's movement to 150, its guaranteed to out run any Dino. Perfect for scouting or unleashing a guerilla assault with friends!
Just caught my first diplo today not that hard. He was already half health after a battle with some raptors and dilos . Used 20 tranq arrows and with some patience it was knocked out use mejo beries and if doing starve taming i recommend waiting for at least 20 minutes if its level 15-20 . That's what I did to be exact
Stand behind its front legs in between it cant hit u
Welcome to my series, Tips for Mobile!
Today we will cover the passive taming method.
DISCLAIMER: I play on easier difficulty. All of my tips are based on what I have experienced. You may have a different experience.
Taming Supplies
- Mejoberries (just take as many as you can, also to feed you as you may be there awhile)
- A weapon to defend yourself and/or your soon-to-be tame.
Instructions
- Go up to it and feed mejoberry.
- Wait.
- Repeat.
Notes
- The first feed is the longest.
- Between feeds, it will hit you and knock you back, but in my case, I took no damage.
- Find something to keep behind you so you dont get yeeted into orbit
Its not aggressive its just playing your not taking damage just tame it its great. It passively tames. 1 get berries 2 put in hotbar 3 find one 4 tame
Easiest way to tame these is to build a 4 by 4 with door frames 2 high all the way around. The diplo will attack the structures and not you this way you can get right underneath his belly. I prefer to use kibble, berries take way too long. Up if you find this useful
Taking this sauropod is no joke, but here are some tips to help you out:
1. Knockout taming is a little easier, and faster, however, it requires much more food, and in passive taming, the effectiveness is higher, either is ok, so choose one that works for you, I just prefer passive taming it
2. I highly recommend a trap, knocking it out would be difficult without, and could kill you, if it knocks you off a cliff. In passive, any time it is hit by a wild creature, it resets the taming bar, so a trap is essential, especially the higher level it is.
3. Honestly Mejos work great, but are a lot slower, yet easier to get than kibble. Effectiveness is near perfect with them so don’t worry.
4. If passive taming, you can stand slightly farther back than its back legs, and it will try to hit you and be unable, so it will keep trying to hit, and you can stand there forever, feeding it
5. After the first feed (in passive taming), it needs to wait around 15 to 25 minutes (in my experience) before it eats again. Then it is around 20 seconds, unless its hunger is full, in which case it will let you feed it again when it goes down enough for whatever food you are using.
Hope this was helpful, happy taming!
If you are trying to tame it, try to get on the base of its tail and it’ll carry you around and not be able to hit you
I was able to get on the tail and ride around on him feeding him as needed just stay crouched. Also it’s a long time between first feed to second feed after that it was normal. Easy pest.
How to tame a diplo without getting knocked into the loving arms of a theri:
1. Get a moschops.
2. Ride the moschops and force it to collect berries.
3. Once you have enough berries sneak underneath it and feed it the berries. (mejo berries work best)
4. You now should have a diplo!
