Trying to get myself my first pet
A good beginner tame.All you need is raw meat and you’re fists.
How to tame:
1. Get a Bola
2. Yeet at dilo
3. Bonk with wooden club
4. Put some meat in inventory
5. Enjoy your bff
If it is a low level, you can probably knock it out with fists or a club and doge it’s poison. If it’s a higher level then you should bola it and hit it with a club. You may need some narcotics.
Ever get hit by Dilophosaurus spit? Easy fix. Simple way to avoid getting poisoned is by moving left to right. Not too much, not too little. Not too fast, not too slow. If that doesn’t work, simply run in circles while facing the dilo.
How to build A Dilophosaur Spit turret/ Sentinel Tower
What you will need: Rocks/ heavy surplus material, meat, Wooden structures or higher, Wood ramp, wood ladder, one dilophosaur
1. Put down a foundation for your tower
OR
Begin building on a completed structure
2. Set up your first floor and build the walls and roof of the second(you will want a second foundation for the first option)
3. Set up your ladders
4. Place down your ramp
5. Set your dilo to its lowest following range and set it to follow you
6. Lead it up onto the second floor
7. Destroy and replace the ramp to the tower
8. Lead the dilo onto the tower
9. Tell the dilo to stop
10. Put the heavy material into its inventory with a mixture of meat to keep its health up
11. Change its behavior to agressive to medium/high range
You now have a tower that can spit poison or alert you of creatures getting close. If you have guard creatures, like pachyderms or some reptiles, they will be alerted and eliminate the threat.
Up this if you found this a helpful tutorial
they are like compys but jumbo size
If anyone didn’t know, you can go up to a dilo and punch it right before it sprays you, then it will not spray you. I don’t know if this works with anyone else but it works for me.
First one I tamed was quickly mauled to death by a giant sloth R.I.P. Ugly
HOW TO TAME A DILO 1(kill : dodos or paras sadly) 2 (punch in the head so I get spit) 3 (Feed it meat and DONE
Don't scare gust go for fight and feed meat in inventory and your dilo is tamed
Find a dilo hit it with slingshot until its unconscious the put some dodo meat in the inventory
If you want to kill a dilo easily any thing above a bow will one shot if hit it in the head if you don’t have a bow a basic stone axe will get the job in more hits.
Great beginning tame, game achievement says get one but if you get three or four of these guys they are a very good protective and hunting force, highly recommend getting four of these early game. Just get them to charge, club em, and then raw meat for 2 minutes. Easy. Get three or four and you have a great battle team.
Killing these can drop a NERDY GLASSES SKIN at random
Dilo,s are great for collecting Meat and leather. And ofcourse they when in pack of 8 or more can join you as securitydetail while harvest wood e.c.t. and in pack of 12 they take down bigger animals as well. Butt dont let them attack a theri than they are dead
