Dilophosaur
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.
Since they are easy tames tame a bunch of females and a single male for the eggs. Their kibble is preffered by anklos and dodigs.
I just had twins and they both died the same with an anklo if anyone has any tips please share thank you.
Here’s how to breed dilo you get a male and female and get them stuck in a cage or something and the you enable wandering and watch the magic happen and after a while a fertilized dilo egg is ready
You need a lot of meat (40+) to keep these alive if they're babies when breeding them. RIP Danny and Donlan I love you :_[
Two good slingshots to the face and you can easily make it unconscious then you can tame it
Tame 21 dilos. They will kill everyone who will eat their food and they can kill chalicotheriums and sarcos or Carnos and raptors.
Kill and eat to level up yourself and your dinos.
Just bash it over the head with a club as long as its not high level if you're a fresh character. Then just feed it a couple dodos worth of meat (bring more just in case) and it'll be the easiest carnivore to tame and its insanely good if you have a pack of them early game.
(THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS GREAT FOR STARTERS)
So Dilos are pretty common so you could easily find one. Carry a club with you and kill a few dodos so you can get meat. Then find a dilo (like I said before it’s easy to find one), knock it out with the club, and feed it…

Just use a slingshot 3-4 will ensure knockout
Feed 3-4 meat to tame them.
Now go get an army of dilo's and bully those flightless birds
How to knock out and tame Dilo:
1 Find Dilo
2 Get club out
3 Yeetus Deleteus it
4 Put up to 7 raw meat
5 Name it (Name suggestion: Spitfire)
6 Enjoy
Btw my name is Eclipse
I don’t even know why I’m writing this because I am pretty sure everyone knows how to tame one
1. Go up to one and and shoot it two times(from my experience) with a slingshot
2. While it is unconscious put meat in its inventory and wait
And there you go now you have a…

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…
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.
If you tame these you can make kibble from eggs with it
How are u supposed to take any dinosaurs in this game when the taming percent stays at zero???? Is the taming process different on ps4 or what???
Just run around them and punch tbh they are easy to tame yet are still really good!
These are a great early tame!
1. Get meat.
2. Knock out using club or fist.
3. Feed meat.
4. Enjoy your dilo!
Have a ton of hi-lv Dilos on neutral follow a hi-lv Raptor or similarly sized ride-able Dino on aggressive/wander, the effect is devastating for an opponent. Add Dimorphs for aerial support for PVP raid guard squads. The more the merrier, and breeding Dilos enmass becomes worth…

Easy to tame, you can usually find it in your starting island,mostly near the dodos :3
