Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a diplodocus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a diplodocus.
U can also knock out tame these guys which saves a ton of time
How to tame a diplodocus:
-There are two methods to tame a diplodocus! Passive taming and knockout taming. I will explain both.
Passive taming:
1. You need to get a bunch of berries, veggies, or preferred kibbles.
2. Then get under the diplodocus, that way it can't hit you and send you halfway across the map.
3. Start feeding the diplodocus, it will take a while.
Knockout taming:
1. You will also need to get under the diplodocus so it can't hit you.
2. Start shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
3. After it's knocked out, you might need some narcotics to keep it asleep. Feed it berries, veggies, or preferred kibbles.
-They don't deal damage but their knockback can be useful.
Hope this helps!

I just tamed it 😂 by feeding tintoberries. Much easy to tame but took 30 min approx🏴☠️✌️ . But yeah no use in attacking with other dino
How to tame one THE EASY WAY *I think only works for mobile*
Step 1: grab some tranqs *These dudes take a bunch, if you have a OP crossbow, it should only take 1-3 arrows (I reccomend tranq)*
Step 2: knock it out
Step three: Give it kibble/Carrots
And now you wait

Congrats! You tamed one! Now enjoy your new diplo! *btw i reccomend naming it school Bus, can hold around 12 players on one saddle* AMAZING TAME BTW, my level 26 has 1.2k weight, amazing berry and wood farmer* these guys are amazing early game tames!!!
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
Beware the have some serious knockback and u can possibly get killed.
How to tame:
1. Trap it
2. Gather 150 Azulberries
3. Ride a fast mount (e.g Raptor, Pterodon,)
4. Feed until tamed
5. Enjoy!
Okay I’m new to mobile ark cuz I play the console version but I tried to tame this beast and it was actually not that bad cuz it only took 15 minutes then I just tamed another and another to make my army bigger :)
Bring like 100 berries with you to passive tame him (you’ll need like 50, but bring extra berries Incase something happens when you’re trying to tame him)
I usually find them near the beach. Also, while you’re trying to tame him, be careful because he’ll push you in a playful way.
I had no idea what I was up against when I started taking right by the ocean. I jumped at the same time that it pushed me...... I went flying into a swarm of jellyfish.
Note that right after you feed him a berry he stops playing for a bit so he get more berries then
It is also a KO tame, but it takes like 3x longer though
If you get just behind the front legs then the diplodocus can’t push you back so you can tame easy
I don’t know if this is normal or not but my diplo Whiplash is the only creature in all my history of playing ark that is tamed and has wandering off and yet remains playful and runs around whenever she feels like. It is the weirdest thing to see her suddenly start frolicking around me in giant circles, swinging her neck and tail at trees and breaking them left and right. So satisfying to watch her tho…first diplo I ever tamed and she’s my favorite pet by far.
From my experience, the male I tamed was aggressive...I just got near it and it hit/attack me, idk if female is the same...these are good when you first start cuz that are a passive tame, and when lvl.32 you can get a saddle
If u use soothing balm it makes it go faster to get these also to avoid getting yeeted just go under them the AI will just keep pushing but not push u. Like if helpful! 😉
There's a spot right behind it's front legs where you can stand underneath it and it gets stuck in you. You can stand there for the entire passive tame, you just get humoed the whole time
If you have a sino just fly onto its back and then you just sit there and can easily tame as long as nothing attacks it
Slightly difficult to tame since it yeets you away. I found it easiest to wedge myself in a corner made with two stone foundations. My Dippy was able to keep playing with me and I didn’t go anywhere
Go under the belly and they cant push you back. Or you can set a tamed animal on follow and passiv and it pushes the tamed animal not you
