What are tips for dilophosaur? Tips and strategies for dilophosaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Alright. I suggest, to dodge the spit, waiting right before it locks onto you and jumping out of the way. After that, either pelt it with rocks or beat it with a stick. Afterwards, I suggest making sure your tames are on passive. Two of my early-game dodos killed one of these I was trying to tame so I could hunt.
After, bam. You have a half poisoned velonasur half raper but weaker than both of those things. I suggest getting more than one or leveling one up until I becomes ultra instinct.
If it is about to spit, jump. They don't factor gravity in the jump so you will fall down before the spit reaches you. Same can be done horizontally. Their spit is their only card so if you can avoid their spit you can't die from them...
Don’t waste bolas on them! They are really easy to tame without a bola, just if your low level make sure there’s only one of them
For those of you annoyed by these, if you hear a dilo hiss, immediatly start jumping like a rabbit (if you cannot time your jump right before the poison spit) and the spit will ho way above you
Don't worry, you are able to easily out run this creature if you do not wish to tame or kill it. Just keep enough distance between you and it so it can't spit on you.
Do not use a stone pick or you will most likely kill it. Pls like so more people can see this tip.
Pain in the backside early game. Craft a couple of spears and kill them
I don't recommend a club because they keep hitting you back. To kill, use a Spear or bow (or really any weapon.) and to tame, fists or slingshot if you don't want to get close. Feed meat to tame and bam. To harvest, use pick for more meat and hatchet for more hide
It's pretty easy to tame
1. Bola it (so it can't chase you)
2. Use a slingshot or a club (I call them beaty sticks) to knock it out
3. Add some meat (it shouldn't take much)
Also, remember to dodge the poison spit
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.)
Oh also you should have one they kill titanboas. I had one named dila and I lost her in the swamp and she didn’t come back out until I was getting attacked by a titanboa 5 months later lol let this be a useful tip for you in ark, good luck!
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!
A dilophosaur is a nice tame early game. The dilophosaur is a carnivore so it eats meat. They typically spawn near or at the beaches of Ark. You can knock they out with your fists but I would consider that ineffective. I suggest using a slingshot to shoot from a distance. The dilophosaur has a short search distance and low health so it isn't to much of a danger. Using a club to KO is nice to I just suggest having light armour and points upgraded in health. After knocking it out put raw meat or raw fish meat in inventory. I usually sacrifice a nearby dodo for meat. It will eat meat and its tame meter will go up. After its reached 100% you will have a dilophosaur! They can kill dodos for you and defend you against compys and other dilophosaur.
Up so noobs can see.
When they go to spit hit or shoot them in the head and jump to the side they will aim up and miss you.
Watch out for there acid it can blind you
Use an axe and face-tank it, if there are two then get better.
Don’t try to fight them with your fists
These are really easy to tame just dodge their spit and bash them with your fists or club
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 😄🦖
