Tips & Strategies

Here are some tips on how allosauruses behave to hopefully save you and your tames:
- They have a gnash effect, which will lower your tames health over time and make you extremely slow.
- A lone allo is far easier to take down, and shouldn't have the ability to use gnash.
- They are extremely fast, if you have no tanky tames, avoid them at all costs, they will chase you down.
- They are very aggressive, if being chased, run past the nearest low to mid size dinosaur, they may aggro onto it, giving you a chance to run away or hide while they're distracted.
If you plan to kill them, your tame should be a tank, with high health and/or a good saddle. Speed won't help you when fighting these guys.

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 😭😭😭😭😭😭
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!!!
Look out, there is a glitch in the game where they go through walls (at least metal) we got wiped, by allosuars.
The only way to live is to turn dino damage to 0
The speed to outrun allos on pc and console is 130 movement speed and on mobile 122 movement speed
I want to play with this father
