So I was on a parasaur hunt which my dilophosaurus poisie, and as soon as we saw one, she darted at it. We chased the parasaur for about two minutes before we came to a cliff. The parasaur jumped off. I new better then to follow it because even though it’s not a super long jump, the area at the bottom is wicked dangerous. Yet poisie followed. I didnt have enough time to tell her not to. So of course I had to follow her. We got to the bottom but the parasaur wasn’t to be found anywhere. I could see poisie however. She was swimming in front of me. We came to a small island in the middle of the river. We stoped to take a breath when all the sudden, out of the bushes comes a trio of dilos! I looked at poisie and commanded her to attack after a minute a dilo killed me. This brought me into great alarm because I had no idea which way to go to get her. Soon I got a notification saying that she killed a dilo. Even better, I got a notification saying that she had killed another one. She still had one more to get, but then I got a notification saying that she had been killed. ): Note: 1 UP = RIP for Poisie.

For begginers:

Make a club

Beat dilo in his face

Put some meat into it's inventory

Repeat tillyou have 5-6 dilos.

Tada!! Now you have dilo army

As well as good meat and hide farm...just get them on hunting with you.

One down if you like it😄

They usually spawn where dodos and carbonemys do.

I once had a Dilo named Sally. I got attacked by an Alpha Raptor, totally got shredded, but was close to my base. Ran back to my body to find the Alpha eating Sally while she was lying on top of my body trying to protect me...RIP Sally...

If you're a noob in ark and dilos are chasing you, just run as fast and away as you could , and it will lose you, up⬆ if this was helpful

Don’t let it spit in your face especially if attacking multiple targets… tip for me 😅

If you have a shield, it can be used to block the Dilo's ranged attacks.

These may look like weak sauce but if they are in a group they can shred you to pieces. If you are to far for them to bite they will spit poison that blinds and damages you. They also come in a variety of vibrant and beautiful colours.

Here’s some tips for my fellow noobs!

You will encounter these guys. It’s impossible to not see them at least once in the few days after you start the game. If you’re like me and want to avoid them, listen. I mean literally. They make a sort of chittering noise, very different from dodos. Listening to the world around me has saved my butt too many times.

If you want to fight one, wait until you have an axe and have upped your health and damage some. They’re easy kills if you sprint at em from behind and spam the axe. If you see them flash their frill, get to the side. When they flash the frill it means they’re going to spit.

Similar strategy for taming, but instead of an axe use a club. Toss some raw meat into their inventory and keep some narco berries on hand juuuust in case. They tame very quick.

At high levels they are amazing defenders and distractors, though I’d use carbonemys for distracting. They’re also very moveable thanks to their size.
