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.

I was in the jungle (second time playing) and I saw one staring from a cliff and I went behind it it hissed at me and I Mike Tysoned it in the face and it was now an unconscious lvl 18 or 19 Dilo and I gave it 14 random Nacroberries 39 random raw meat and boom I had a Dilo within 2 minutes :D

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!

I tamed Dilos to the max amount of tames and I hit a triceratops and they killed it in like 9 seconds. Get as many as you can. Once you get more skilled, tame a lot of raptors. Dilos are like mini raptors. Once you tame raptors you will be unstoppable. But I guarantee when you are just beginning tame a Dilo.

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 😄🦖

If starting out then these dinosaurs seem to be one of the most easiest way's to get raw meat and hide, given they are a reasonable level (I'd stick to about 20 and below for starting out, anything higher could be really dangerous) along side 'Dodo's', 'Coel' and 'Parasaur's' (which are not aggressive) That being said, if tamed, their eggs which are made into kibble can provide most useful in taming more effective 'resource' dinosaurs such as the; Doedicurus (for stone) and the Ankylo (for Flint, Metal, Crystal and Obsidian). Although don't underestimate these small Dinosaurs, they can/will be very aggressive when nearby. What I found best to dealing with them at a lower level was the spear, attacking whilst 'back-peddling' aslong as you keep getting the hit in. Then harvest with a pick for more raw meat or the hatchet for more hide. Whatever your preference.

I went on a important mission to tame more Dino’s long time ago and I incounterd a very high Dilophosaures so I tamed it so it can join my group but suddenly a raptor attacked me but my dilophsaures stayed and attacked once he killed the raptor I respond on the ground and I went to get what I lost and another raptor attacked me from that day my diophosaures guarded my armor till I requested him to be summoned on my firs base
