Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a diplodocus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplodocus.
Somebody should’ve said sooner that their little bops don’t hurt. I fed him a mejoberry and he proceeded to come after me hit me one time idk if it hurt all I knew was I ran asap. And that it’s easier to tame them passively by giving them mejo instead of shooting tranq arrows
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
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
These Dino’s take years passive taming
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
It's better to just trap these things for getting diplo egg instead of taming.
Stand behind its front legs in between it cant hit u
There’s a sweet spot slightly between but kind of behind the front legs where it won’t reposition itself nor push you away. Once you find that spot you don’t need to move at all, making taming these guys a little easier.
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
Get a bunch of mejoberies/ kibbles, find one, go right behind its front legs and below its fat belly, afk and occasionally press E
I recommend finding something to do while afk because the process is boringly long
Congrats! You got yourself a cool school bus!
It is also a KO tame, but it takes like 3x longer though
I recommend trying to get it stuck so that you are underneath its legs and it shouldn’t move or knock you back it will just attack nothing
Most playful suckers I have ever met and still too this day. My listro only does tricks. This guy loves to get physical.
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
The Dododex lies! It can break Thatch and Wood! And possibly gravity.
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.
Make sure you always have the high ground. “Playing” with you involves knocking you backward, often over a cliff.
If you stand underneath his front legs he will head butt repeatedly and you can just stand underneath and feed him. Easy to tame (:
Crops only work if you use the knockout method of taming it.
