They are like raptors for beginners, fast nimble with decent health, I suggest getting a small pack... In later stages of the game they turn into more of a support class with their ability to poison a target, forcing them to stay still with no capability to defend itself for a short time, enough time for the rest of your dinos to critically damage the enemy. I suggest looking out for raptors quickly as they are no match for most herbivores you will find on the beach.
Use a shield in club and knock it out.
While it may not seem much at first, these Dilos are really easy to tame mid game. This allows you to stock up your tamed dilos and effectively form a whole army of them. I have like 20 Dilos at relatively low levels, and even then I can kill most of the beginning to mid game creatures. Just command them to attack something and they will swarm the hell out of that poor creature.
If you bola them they stop spitting on you so you can easily knock it out.
Remember about turret mode to spit at people
I’ve had like 6 of these tamed at once lol
To tame a dilo you need at least 4 raw meat and if you want a strong one you need to go and fight
So I already write one of these but I wanna add a few things, I got ten of these guys and they are amazing i started out with 4 and I could not help my self these guys are great if ur kinda new and trying to get your feet on the ground, I am scared of raptors so I don’t have one yet planning on soon but these guys are good to hold off other then the fact you sadly can’t ride them but these guys are awesome we go and hunt for all sorts of things and get tons of hide and meat prime meat and fish meat and then they go back to base and I use the meat I need and the rotting stuff I use to arrows bc I get like 100+ meat for each of them every time we hunt they are also kinda cute bc if I am hunting something 2 or 3 always stay reallly close while the others kill sometimes 1 if it’s a huge animal but I hates these guys when I first started I mean they killed me so many times! But they are easy to tame I mean I use my fists bc I am too lazy plus I am not going to waste something when I can use my hands u can quickly kill like 1-3 dodos that are everywhere and if u have meat already that’s great feed it to them wait for a few seconds and there you go congratulations! Don’t forget to name him a cool name :)
They WILL be annoying and annoying and not ever stop being annoying please someone kill them 😭😭😭😭 if you can run from them without dying or getting blinded while they still tryed to blind you good job! 😞😔
If you get them in packs you’re in a lot of trouble because if they poison you and then gang up on you you are dead you must be hired and 25 battle all of
them
These guys as a pack are actually really great, and pretty easy to tame. Just bola, club, put raw meat into its inventory, and boom, ya got a new best friend. Just keep an eye on them while they’re following you, as they tend to get stuck on things.
A big pack of 7-12 killed my lvl 20 raptor ( r.i.p. blue :( )
An easy way to knock a dilo is to get on a tall rock and shoot it with a sling shot. It will take about 3 to 12 shots in the head. Make sure to keep them an neutral while near Dino's like Trikes. They are good for protecting your base and yourself while hunting or gathering supplies.
To battle this you gotta get somethin like spear and kill it and Dodge the poison and to escape tell your Dinos to kill it and go a little far away (to tame feed it and wait then feed it again if your dinosaur is dangerous make it unconscious and then put meat)
