"THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND" rat runs!! Have tunnels in your Base, nobody wants to run around griefing and running into what quite possibly a pack of rabid dobermans that spit acid.

Dilos are easy to encounter and they make great bodyguards!

To tame one, knock it out(u will need to dodge venom) and then feed it about 15 meat. Taming only takes about a minute so u can have a good defence against raptors! My team has 3 dilos in it 1 parasaur and 1 pteradon and the dilos did most of the work defending against raptors!

My friend is terrified of them. I kill them for fun.

You can jump away when it starts to spit or just jump

You CAN easily knock this out with your hands. You just need good aiming. Circle it so it can’t spray you with poison and punch it no level nedeed

These guys swim weirdly fast so the water is not a safe place to escape

If you weigh them down you can make them a spitting turret they will probably get killed from stuff as there low HP So make sure to level that before

But really they won’t survive long

How to tame:

1. Have at least 5 meat in inventory (to be prepared).

2. Find a dilophosaur (I don’t suggest finding a group if you’re a low level and don’t have many weapons).

3. Knock out dilophosaur.

4. Give dilophosaur 3 of your meat (that’s usually how much they need) but they might need a bit more, if so add the other two pieces.

5. You have a dilophosaur!

I hope this helps anyone looking for a dilophosaur. Also, they spit poison, so be careful!

I tame dilos and the try to kill velicraptors how can the velicaraptor is stronger than dilos

Fists are an easy knock out and they take very little meat however they get hungry easily. Good for hunting and adventuring. My 3 saved my life quite a bit.

Once I bred a dilo, the egg hatched triplets, I named them uno dos and tres

On their own, Dilophosaurs aren’t really useful, but in packs of 5 or more, they are extremely deadly. Also, their spit doesn’t just blind prey; it drains their stamina and drops their movement speed dramatically.

They are a really good starting tame. Just get a bunch of them.

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)

A wood shield is a perfect defence against diol spit but if u have 2 spears and hit it in the chest it doesn’t have a chance.

It’s easy.

If you want to get one early get a Woden Club.

Knock it out.

Shove raw meat into its mouth.

Taming a low level is quite easy. With your stone pick, Kill dodos and/or lystros. With all creatures, kill creatures that might kill the creature you are taming. The best way to get raw meat is killing small dinos. Then,find a dilo. Knock it out with your fists or craft a wooden club to knock it out. Put the meat into the dilo’s inventory wait… and you tamed one! Like if this helped :D

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...

Dealing with one is simple, you can see their spit animation then dodge and pelt it with rocks or throw spears at its face. Just be aware that when facing multiple your priority is always dodging the spit attack, as that is what will allow them to catch up and kill you.
