Tips & Strategies

This is a very over looked tame. I have a pack of 10 and they were all tamed at 150s. Set them all on a lvl 105 rex to actually get them killed to decrease my tame cap. And they murdered the rex lol

Low on hide? Dont worry
Tame 2-4 of these make em aggressive and enable wandering they can also protect ur base
Up so everyone can see
Got an army of about 10. They are pretty good early game but now Iβm just breeding them to defend my base.
I have an army of 12 of these babies. Itβs epic. Highly recommend
They make good "ground turrets".
Tame a decent trike/parasaur and lvl health and put it on passive, then aquire several dilos set to agressive, then set them to follow thw trike/parasaur. Tada, a few of these and your base is pretty safe from snaller predators such as raptors, sarcos, compys, troodons, and if they are high enough lvl terror birds and kapros as well. Titanoboasa are still dangerous because of the narcotic venom
These are weak alone but get an army of them and theyβre invincible. I have 11 of this little guys
You should be able to ride these guy think of how fun that would be
I'm new to Ark so what I say isn't that important but if you get like 20 of these guys and tame em' after some leveling they can be an effective army. (Mobile)
Fists can easily knock a Dilo out. There spit can help you hunt or defend you from other survivors. In groups of 3 or more they are dangerous.
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.
