Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
How to breed (for the guy that asked)
1. Get a male and a female
2. Make a small pen that will fit them both (it must be small enough make sure they aren’t more than a tail length from each other)
3. For mobile enable wander on them both for anything else enable wander/mating on them both
4. Red Hearts will appear on top of them wait a little until the female lays a fertile egg
5. Once egg is laid IMMEDIATELY pick it up
6. Run to camp fire, light it and put egg under
7. If the egg says it’s too hot turn off fire, if to cold build and light another fire
8. When it’s at a perfect temp wait for it to hatch WARNING: THE TEMP MAY CHANGE MAKE SURE IT DOSENT OVER HEAT OR FREEZE!!!
9. One hatched claim it
10. FEED IT MEAT
Now u have baby! It need to be fed ALOT so have a good stack of food for it. Use reg meat not fish meat cuz fish doesn’t feed him as good. it will eat on its own. Also it won’t attack until it’s an adult, but it will run around. turn OFF wander! Hope this is helpful thx for reading
More Dilophosaur Utility Tips
•ULTIMATE DILO GUIDE
TAME:
•10-20 Raw meat.
•One slingshot.
•Only use bat if you have at least 120 health.
•Bola if you have access to it. (Not necessary, recommended.)
You will usually find these in packs, try to kill all the dilos nearby first, they will defend the one you try to tame.
Attack it by it's back, never stay nearby the head, they'll split poison at your face if you do.
(In case you are using a slingshot, headshot it, but try to dodge it's split, when it opens it's mouth and frills, it's about to split.)
(Use bola if you have it. Be aware that it can still split when trapped.)
Once knocked out, open the inventory. Put about 16 raw meat.
(Some of the raw meat isn't for taming, it's for feed.)
There, you have your own dilo.
UTILITIES:
Can hunt down stuff like dodos or compy packs for you. Be aware that it has fairly low damage and health, needs a pack to hunt bigger, agressive things.
CAN ALSO HUNT:
•Lystosaurus
• Moschops (In pack)
•Parasaurs (In pack)
•Pachys (In 5+ dilo packs)
Pros:
•High speed, can blind enemy.
Can hunt things like dodo •quickly.
•Quick taming.
•Quick breeding.
Cons:
•Will likely die to most dinos if not in pack.
•Fairly low health and damage.
•Can't mount.
BREEDING:
Build storage boxes around them, if you don't have acess to storage boxes yet build a one by one thatch house. (Roof not necessary but recommended.)
Enable wandering.
HATCHING:
Needs 3 campfires, putting torch on egg recommend.
Hatches fairly quick, put about 30 meat on baby's inventory.
Make sure to imprint.
PROTECTING YOUR DINO:
Make sure you have a base with spike walls around your base as soon as possible, A dilo can be killed by literally anything on passive mode. If you can't put them inside your thatch base.
Put 5-10 meat on each dilo's inventory, make sure to replace it every 2-4 days.
I tamed three dilo, Two female and a male. I named the male Alpha dilo and he was the strongest and High level in the pack. Other two were Dilo vrex and Dilo Dilo krex. They are very good at pack hunting in early games. You can also hunt creatures like bronto just let the pack distract the bronto and you only have to attack from a distance with your bow.(make sure to spend a good amount of points in Health and Melee.)
