Tips & Strategies
My favourite new game tame, a small pack of 3-4 between levels 30 and 70 can take out low and mid level sarcos and raptors. Follow the guide below and tame an army of dilos. IMPORTANT this tactic can take some practice to master but when you do you will be tamming level 280 dilos at level 7.
Firstly why I like them so much is because they're quick, high damage (for a early game combat team), and they have a spit ability which decreases their targets speed (with multiple dilos enemy's will almost be stuck in place)
Alright now, first thing you want to do is reach level 2 so you can craft the club, and remember to gather plenty of meats.
Step 1: be in first person view.
Step 2: Craft 2-4 clubs and equip them on your hotbar.
Step 3: Find a dilo with a level lower than 160 (if it's to strong run!). Avoid groups or try to lure 1 away at a time.
Step 4: When it's aggro walk backwards, as it gets close hit it with your club, if timed right the dilo will be knocked back without being able to attack (this is what takes some practice to master but its the most important part). FYI do this walking in circles.
Step 5: repeat Step 4 until it's unconscious, and remember to keep any other dinos you tammed at a distance so they don't kill it.
Step 6: place meats in the dilos inventory and keep an eye on it, use narco berries to keep it asleep if needed (place narco in its inventory and select "feed", feed it 4 narco's at a time).
Step 7: name your new dilo.
Step 8: reach level 7.
Step 9: unlock bola engram and craft 2 stacks of bola's (20).
Step 10: equip both stacks of bola's on your hotbar (you still need your 4 clubs equipped on hotbar to).
Step 11: find level 280 dilo.
Step 12: bola level 280 dilo, if it gets lose, bola it again.
Step 13: repeat steps 1 through 7.
Armor not required but it helps.
Dodo eggs directly restore health when eaten so having a few tammed dodo birds will provide you with those.
Remember to equip eggs on the hotbar for easy use during a fight.
Last bit of advice watch the dilo, when it stops moving and erects its neck frills it means it's going to spit, keep walking backwards or to the side, when you see it spit keep moving and jump, if done correctly you will avoid the attack altogether. If the spit hits you, you will suffer a huge movement and visual debuff and then it's pretty much over for you from there.

Never get caught in a ditch in the rain while trying to free your jeep from the mud. They will find you, spit at you, and then eat you.
Dilos are annoying and basically useless, but here’s a guide to tame them anyway!
1. You will need food for the dilo, easiest is raw meat, however it will take its effectiveness down quite a lot. I recommend using prime because it loses only one level and is easy to get. If you are a perfect tame snob, use kibble or mutton.
2. Fists can be used, however there is a risk of dying, so I recommend a slingshot. Clubs work, but are still risky, because it could bite you. If you can afford tranq arrows, they are quite good. Darts are a waste, just use arrows. No trap is needed because you can outrun them and the can’t kill you if you keep your distance
3. It is a quick tame, that doesn’t need narcs, so it’s usually best to just wait by it. Make sure you have enough food and that it won’t spoil before it tames
Happy taming!
P.S. I am making in depth taming guides for every creature in ark. They all are formatted like this and end in happy taming. If these are helpful, raise them to the top, so it can help more people. Thanks!
Dilos are soooo easy to tame
So firstly, make sure you have at least 5 pieces of meat on you
Then, find a Dilo (I would recommend finding one that’s alone or away from other Dilos as it could alert others)
You can either use your fists or a club to knock it unconscious
Once unconscious, use the meat to tame the Dilo
And now you should have a Dilo!
How to tame a dilo :D
1.kill some dilos, dodos or compy so that you can collect meat.
2.Craft a slingshot, wooden club or you can beat it with fist (If your trying to knock it with fists choose a low level one; if with slingshot collect a amount of stones first also remember wooden club breaks fast so craft and keep atleast 3 more wooden club for backup)
3.Find a dilo
4.after it's unconscious open its inventory by going near to it and tap and hold. After you need to put some meat which we collected at first
5. Wait.....if your dilo eats all the meat but still not tamed put some more meat to its inventory and wait......
6. Finally you tamed your dilo 😆
Name suggestion - toxic dino
1. Find dilo
2. Hit with club until it got knocked out
3. Pit raw meat in inventory 5-20
4. Enjoy your dilo
Could you use a file to slowdown a creature since there spit slows things down, and then put them on passive and tame the creature you slowed easier
What you have to do is approach the dilo and start attacking it right when it aggroes , keep punching it until it falls unconscious and feed it the flesh of fallen animals that you probably had punched to death and soon you may have a dilo , be quick to put the meat in the dilos inventory so it doesn’t wake up right when it was gonna be tamed. hope this helps 😄🦖
