Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a allosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a allosaurus.
These things are like chips you can’t just have one
A simple way to knock it out is to build a 3×3 room with a gate lure them in with a pachyrhinosarus inside then calm them with the pink stuff and just tranq them make sure to keep them passive to have an easy knock out ;)
GOOD LUCK :)
To the person who says taming in ark is crazy: ark has the dinos forget that you were the one who knocked the Dino out. Then you feed it and it wakes up and loves you for helping it.
Try to make them fall into a ravine. Flyers help with this tactic. Or better, look for some that spawned or fell into one. There’s a ravine on my SP game where there are around 11 allos that fell into it. After getting them into a ravine, kill off all but the one you’d like to tame. Proceed in taming as usual.
Okay if ya want one you must prepare bc they are a pack of 3 you can tame the three or kill 2 and tame the alpha of the pack (the alpha have the highest lvl) Like if help -Diego
Kill all its friends than tranq it out on a ledge, your going to want to tame the one with the yellow/red glow
WARNING!!!! DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ARGY ALONE ON A MOUNTAIN AN ALLO WILL KILL IT . LIKE IF THIS WAS HELPFUL
To tame one is easy.
First find a pack, kill the lower level ones so the effect goes away.
Get it to chase you
If it stops pick up a Dino (argy recommended)
Make a stone trap, One stone gateway and door, 5x5 stone walls, wooden ramps on one side
Bring the all into the trap
If you did it right then you should be Abel to shoot him with tranq darts through the walls
When it starts to run get into the trap and shoot
I dont think many people know this- but if you use metal billboards as traps they can’t destroy it. I usually use 3 metal billboards and a large bear trap and them lead it in, then go behind it and place the last board so it can’t get out.
Make a taming pen with stone gateways, 2/4 on each side, 1 on the front side, and fill the back side with one doorframe with door and the rest walls. Place a large bear trap in the middle. Trap the allo in the pen in the bear trap so that you can safely close the front side gateway (the rest should be closed. If needed, kill the others. Make a foundation with a staircase on the backside. Now easily knock at tame the allo. This probably works for more dinos but only tried with allo.
Large bear trap works for about 10 seconds before it is back on your ass
Alright listen. Make a foundation floor 3x3. Then build a wall of doorframes around the foundations 2 high. Next build WOOD ramps on one side of the box. USE WOOD RAMPS, STONE IS TOO SHORT. Finally, use a bird to lure the allo to the pit and take your time in taming it.
THE best way to tame anything is to use an argy cage, simply use like 5 dinosaur gateways made of stone and keep one gate door open before you find a dino to tame, once you do, lead it to the cage and then run out through one of the gaps between the gateway frames and obviously close the door and, tadaa, one stuck dino to tame
If you encounter a pack and only want to tame one of them, you can aggro them onto other nearby wild dinosaurs, and eventually break up the pack. This makes it easier to kill off unwanted Allosaurus and eventually single out the prospected tame.
Build a stone taming pen of 5 by 5 and stone doorways 2 high with a ramp. Managed to tame 3 allos at the same time with nothing but a pteranodon, tranq darts and a longneck rifle.
Bola your friend and RUUNNNN!!!!!
Just kidding they are easy to tame when they are singled out from their group… Kill the bad ones and tame the alpha!
Easiest way imo is a trap. You need 4 stone foundation
16 stone doorways and 4-6 wooden ramps depending on ground height. They will fall into a trap 2x2 2 high doorways they go down easy. You can get 2 in a trap this size. I have a 4×4×2 with a gate I use to trap all sorts of tames and I got a pack of 3 stuck in there tamed all 3 of them with 100 tranqs in a crossbow and a theri to gather fresh prime. You can also trap 1 and kill others. If you trap multiple knock out weakest to strongest. There is a chance that when they attack walls they hit the sleeping ones which is why you go weakest to strongest.
Definitely one of the more underrated creatures in ark.
A pack of allos with alpha boost can do some serious damage and bleed. My tribe has a whole bunch of these dudes and we managed to kill a enemy tribe’s giga. Twice.
Making a tip for every ark creature on Genesis: Pt. 1
The allosaurus
Temperament: aggressive. If it sees you and you are in Aggro range, it will make a beeline right for you, or your tames. The best way to counter is a strong mount that can take a beating, or a really fast one to run away.
Diet: carnivore, so the best food is mutton, prime meat, or cooked options.
Taming: the easiest way to tame these guys is a trap, they are decently big, although in the smaller size compared to a Rex or other Rex sized Creature. If you want to tame it make a 3x9 stone foundation square, and make stone doorframes three high for walls, then some ramps so you can lead it in. Get aggro then run through trap or around to the back. And you should have it in. Keep in mind allow come in packs of 1-4 so make sure you have enough tranqs for all of them. If you don’t want four allos then kill off the lower levels and take the pack leader and lead in to the trap. Then it’s easy, tranq and repeat for others.
Uses: allos are great pack hunters, and have a pack buff when there are two or more. They can shred when there are a lot and can take down big things in packs of 3 or four. I had a group of 11 (all above 200) take out a lvl 450 giga on a 10x server. Overall great mounts for battle, traversing terrain, especially dangerous areas like the volcano and the bog.
Final rating: 8/10
Making one of these for all creatures on Gen 1 so go look at others!
How to tame an allosaurus if playing on mobile:
Allos like diplodocus kibble, which needs rare flowers instead of prime meat jerky. You can find plenty of rare flowers in beaver dams, and moschops can also gather them. For the diplo eggs, there are heaps of diplos on and around the hills near the red obelisk where the olive trees are. Thanks for reading and I hope this helped! :)
