What you’ll need: 4rocks, slingshot, 7 raw meat (or prime, kibble, etc.), dilophosaurus.
How to tame: fire rocks out of slingshot, (2-4 rocks) then put meat in inventory, (3-6 raw meat)
A Dilophosaur is a small, relatively weak dinosaur. Still, they're easy to tame for newer survivors, and are not hard to manage. They serve as guard dogs or pack-hunters, but are easily killed. Don't get too attached to them, as they likely won't survive combat against stronger dinosaurs.

How ARK players tame and knock out the Dilophosaur: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

They are a easy tame but make sure you atleast have 3 or 4 meat because they only eat meat and make sure there aren't any carnivores around or other dilos they will kill you
I have tamed too many of these beat the heavens out of it with your fist and give it meat then BOOM got your self a dilophosuarus
How to tame a dilophosaur:
1. Get a club
2. Start hitting the dilo with it
3. After the dilo is knocked out, feed it meat, any type of meat works. You can use preferred kibbles.
Hope this helped!

Kinda easy to tame. Bola them or shoot with tranq arrows and feel it roughly 6 raw meat. Tada! You have a venom spitter. Wait time is decently short and with 4-6 of them, you’re deadly.
I have roughly 16 lol
dilos are relatively easy to tame, but if you are new here is a guide!
3-5 raw meat to tame the dilo
a wooden bat to knock it out, and now you have a dilo!
My dilophosaur is purple with blue spikes
Helpful tip, take one take it to your base, leave it their go tame another one bring it back, and runs and repeat until you have an army.
Do not let it gather what it kills, it gets less than what you can get.
Don’t even try using a bola can still attack and spit
U can just get him sleep with Hand its easy and good for start i have 4 dilophosaurus on łow level but they can beat triceratops
These creatures are amazing easy tame from level 1 create an army of these with club the slingshot 5-10 are insane and easy OP pet for starters because of pack boost.
How to tame:
Get bow
Shoot dilo 80 with stone arrows
Give it meat
AND YOU TAMED IT
I recommend crafting a bow and arrow and shooting them from afar. As far as I know no they cannot jump far if at all so make sure that the rock is only climbable by jumping (no natural ramps) or they will kill you. They will run into the rock directly below you and try to spit…

As far as I know no they cannot jump far if at all so make sure that the rock is only climbable by jumping (no natural ramps) or they will kill you. They will run into the rock directly below you and try to spit but since they cannot spit vertically you will be safe be careful aiming when they are below you so as not to waste arrows they will at times walk away shortly leaving an opening TAKE THE SHOT! This refers to killing a dilo for taming use the rock method but with a bola and club DO NOT ATTRACT IT THIS TIME! It is harder to aim with a bola !
They took out one of those turtle things on the beach! They saved my life from a dil right before in a second! Defo worth it!!
Make a herd, they are very dangerous in groups
To knock it out use your fists its easy and to tame it find a parasaur or another dilo and kill it,take the meat,and just put atleast 2 or 3 pieces of meat in its inventory and you should have yourself a dilo.
Use a club it takes about three hits to knock one out the just spam with raw meat
The best way to tame them in my opinion is by using a bola and club if there is one, or making sure you have plenty of bolas, and using it in a pack of them, finding your favourite, and kill the rest. I use his or her friends for meat to tame the one I want.
I find it's easiest to use a slingshot to knock these out. It's safer than punching them and it only takes a few shots to the head. If you're good at dodging the spit, you can knock out and tame a whole pack in minutes.
