Fists can easily knock a Dilo out. There spit can help you hunt or defend you from other survivors. In groups of 3 or more they are dangerous.

Put a bunch of stone on them and put them on your roof on aggressive and you have a spit turret

Low on hide? Dont worry

Tame 2-4 of these make em aggressive and enable wandering they can also protect ur base

Up so everyone can see

A good first defensive game. Their acid attack slows all dinosaurs and can be a lifesaver early to mid game.

Alone not very affective but I once had a group of 7 and they took out a carno with easy as well as other aggressive creatures

These things are honestly hard to find a use for. Their best ability is the spit and while it’s amazingly strong. It’s also not realistic to expect it to land every time.

Having a lot is good, but what Dino is bad when u have a lot of them?

If you really must use these I recommend setting them up for close quarters traps. As a support for another Dino to finish the job.

Level whatever, though making it a glass canon is probably best. Unless you desire it to breathe forever.

This is a very over looked tame. I have a pack of 10 and they were all tamed at 150s. Set them all on a lvl 105 rex to actually get them killed to decrease my tame cap. And they murdered the rex lol

•ULTIMATE DILO GUIDE

TAME:

•10-20 Raw meat.

•One slingshot.

•Only use bat if you have at least 120 health.

•Bola if you have access to it. (Not necessary, recommended.)

You will usually find these in packs, try to kill all the dilos nearby first, they will defend the one you try to tame.

Attack it by it's back, never stay nearby the head, they'll split poison at your face if you do.

(In case you are using a slingshot, headshot it, but try to dodge it's split, when it opens it's mouth and frills, it's about to split.)

(Use bola if you have it. Be aware that it can still split when trapped.)

Once knocked out, open the inventory. Put about 16 raw meat.

(Some of the raw meat isn't for taming, it's for feed.)

There, you have your own dilo.

UTILITIES:

Can hunt down stuff like dodos or compy packs for you. Be aware that it has fairly low damage and health, needs a pack to hunt bigger, agressive things.

CAN ALSO HUNT:

•Lystosaurus

• Moschops (In pack)

•Parasaurs (In pack)

•Pachys (In 5+ dilo packs)

Pros:

•High speed, can blind enemy.

Can hunt things like dodo •quickly.

•Quick taming.

•Quick breeding.

Cons:

•Will likely die to most dinos if not in pack.

•Fairly low health and damage.

•Can't mount.

BREEDING:

Build storage boxes around them, if you don't have acess to storage boxes yet build a one by one thatch house. (Roof not necessary but recommended.)

Enable wandering.

HATCHING:

Needs 3 campfires, putting torch on egg recommend.

Hatches fairly quick, put about 30 meat on baby's inventory.

Make sure to imprint.

PROTECTING YOUR DINO:

Make sure you have a base with spike walls around your base as soon as possible, A dilo can be killed by literally anything on passive mode. If you can't put them inside your thatch base.

Put 5-10 meat on each dilo's inventory, make sure to replace it every 2-4 days.

It's better to tame a male and female to produce eggs in order to make kibble for a dodicurus or an ankylo. Those are good for collecting stone or flint and metal.

I have an army of 12 of these babies. It’s epic. Highly recommend

Dilos are actually very useful. If you are attacked by a Raptor or Sarco it will spit at them and make them walk slowly. And when a Dilo is attacking a creature the thing doesn’t even attack the Dilo! So they are very useful.

Taming a dilo is pretty easy. and they are good at hunting they can slow down creatures and players and semi blind them for 5 sec and can be a good bodyguard in eary games

They do so well! Once I was building a house and a raptor killed me.My level 24 dilo killed it and waited.

Breed and Mutate a LOT, get loads of damage% (1500/2000+) , make an army, PUMP HEALTH, leave then on agressive and wander, with ALL of them following the stronger, put them with araneos and onycs and some arthros in a room.

Someone entered?:

Slow from dilos and araneos;

Vision debuff and DoT from dilos;

Torpor from araneos and arthros;

Bye bye armor from arthros;

Ans onycs for more damage.

Remember every creature as a use.

Vinícius.

These have some properties that made them great as a first tame:

1. They are EVERYWHERE - you can get yourself a couple of these and no dino will be a match to you, except Theri, that thing will wreck all of you, recommend getting at least 10 to take it out.

2. They are easy to tame - if yours are being slaughtered, they can at least buy you time to run away and you can recruit some new ones right away.

3. They spit blinding poison - I think the poison affect all dino, even the big one, so not only it will weaken your enemy and make it more vulnerable, but in case they are not winning, you still have time to run away.

Personally, I keep a pack of lv 100+ Dilos that are my alpha squad. An easy and cheap way to take care of alpha raptors. My squad can take anything up to lv 90.

If you're a Bob then have these boys around your base on turret mode and they'll look dope but also stand their ground and defend.

You can't ride them, you can't use ANY acccessories on them, they can't carry much, and they don't deal much damage. I wish ark could give them a meatpack or something, like how dodos have decimation bit and gathering bit.

How to build A Dilophosaur Spit turret/ Sentinel Tower

What you will need: Rocks/ heavy surplus material, meat, Wooden structures or higher, Wood ramp, wood ladder, one dilophosaur

1. Put down a foundation for your tower

OR

Begin building on a completed structure

2. Set up your first floor and build the walls and roof of the second(you will want a second foundation for the first option)

3. Set up your ladders

4. Place down your ramp

5. Set your dilo to its lowest following range and set it to follow you

6. Lead it up onto the second floor

7. Destroy and replace the ramp to the tower

8. Lead the dilo onto the tower

9. Tell the dilo to stop

10. Put the heavy material into its inventory with a mixture of meat to keep its health up

11. Change its behavior to agressive to medium/high range

You now have a tower that can spit poison or alert you of creatures getting close. If you have guard creatures, like pachyderms or some reptiles, they will be alerted and eliminate the threat.
