The Cryolophosaurus is a carnivore known for its unique freeze-based attacks and utility in combat scenarios. It excels at slowing down enemies with its Freeze Blast, making it effective in both solo and group engagements. It can be airlifted by Karkinos or Quetzal for fast deployment.
This dino is primarily used for its crowd control capabilities and structural damage, not as a gatherer or weight reducer.

Tame the Cryolophosaurus using the knockout method. The best food is Exceptional Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Raw Mutton also works, though with lower affinity. Use a Bow or Crossbow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola or Bear Trap.
Taming takes around 64 minutes and requires about 241 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
