Facts on the allosaurus:
Appearance: a medium-large sized carnivore, the allosaur has bony scutes all over its body. It has a slim shape, and long legs, allowing it to run at high speeds.
Also possessing two horny protrusions over its eyes, as well as having a long head, armed with large, sharp teeth. Do not confuse with the Rex, which is about two thirds bigger, and much slower.
Behavior: the allosaurus is a highly aggressive carnivore. One allo is a ferocious enemy, but their true strength lies in the pack buff, which happens when there is more than one allo: the higher level of the two will gain a damage buff, damage resistance, and two new abilities, consisting of a bleed attack, and a roar. A pack of allos will destroy anything. The bleed attack of the alpha allo does 5% damage overtime, which means that any enemy will die from at least twenty hits from a bleed attack.
Utility: the allo is no doubt a very useful tame. It’s easy to dump them for a much larger and more powerful Rex or spino, or a smaller, comparable carno, but every Dino has its uses. The allosaurus has the status of a large carnivore, so will thus be ignored by smaller, usually aggressive creatures unless the allo attacks first.
The allo is very fast, looks intimidating, and has a ferocious, rapid fire bite speed. Put it in a pack, and you have a well oiled killing machine. The only downside is that their stamina consumption when sprinting is really quite low, and takes a considerable time to regain.
Dangers: the allosaurus is very dangerous. Survivors without high movement speed or a very powerful weapon cannot fight or run away from one allo, even. God forbid more than one. One danger of the allo bleed attack is that it slows you down considerably, and also drains health by five percent over a few seconds. A very powerful, fast tame is recommended for fighting these. My go to is a powerful spino when fighting a pack, as a spino has equally fast damage output, extreme knockback, and can easily run away if the fight goes wrong.
Note: the allos bleed attack is based off of the real dino. The skull of the allosaurus possessed a thin palate, and long sharp teeth, which led paleontologists to believe that the allosaurus slashed and hacked with its teeth in order to bleed out and weaken the prey to make it easier to kill.
Hope you all enjoyed! L&P, out.

Don't run. You can't.
Me: *100000 m away from a pack of three*
Allo’s: *Let us introduce ourselves*
These guys are everywhere in Valguero. My friend and I were gathering resources when I saw them I ran and remembered Ark's loading screen had a tip that said "You don't have to run faster then the dinos you just have to run faster then your friend" so I used my bola in my hotbar and got my friend. Moral of the story get bolas lots of them

There was like 15 allos near my base I thought I could kill them with my bronto turns out I was wrong they killed her and I didn’t even kill one. Thank you for all the adventures Joan R.I.P Joan 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The places you can find this most commonly are at mountains where they will always spawn as a pack of 3 and NOT alone.
Look out, there is a glitch in the game where they go through walls (at least metal) we got wiped, by allosuars.
The speed to outrun allos on pc and console is 130 movement speed and on mobile 122 movement speed
Spotting that Allo that you’ve thrown yourself at so many times and just…fail to tame it? Don’t worry. We’ve all been there. Here’s a few tips to increase your luck.
Tranq Arrows
Super cheat recipe and easy to make a whole stack of. Using crossbow gets you less hits for more torpo per hit, but bow is also a cheap effective strategy.
Trapping Mechanism
Trapping tools and techniques are iffy. I never really use them because my traps are the wild creatures the Allos like to pick on, such as Brontos or Triceratops. These creatures make the Allos distracted and (hopefully) don’t kill them. I mainly refer to the Island map bc that is the map I am most successful for taming them in for some very odd reason.
(You could also do the trapping technique where you trap them in doorways, but Allos are so fast and so annoying when you try and trap them in there. Def an option but wouldn’t recommend.)
Equus Methods
Equus are totally effective for catching the lower leveled ones, though any level Allo the Equus can handle as long as it can take a few deadly hits. A few bucks the to face will do the trick.
Fav methods.
When it comes to Allos I get very angry because I love them and I can never tame them so easily. My favorite methods are attracting the group (or singular) Allo to a wild creature that will distract them for a bit, then while on the back of some creature (Equus or baryonx will do) just spam shoot them and they should start running away, indicating that their almost unconscious. One more hit should do the job, just keep in mind the relentless Trike that is still chasing after them. Also keep in mind the Allo’s health, make a time window so the Allo doesn’t die.
That’s all I have! Hopefully this helped all you Allo lovers- this is my first advice thingy here and I appreciate you reading this! Thank you and good luck!!!
