R-Dilophosaur taming calculatorKnockout
To tame the R-Dilophosaur, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.3/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

More about taming the R-Dilophosaur
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Dilophosaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the R-Dilophosaur across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Dilophosaur first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Dilophosaur. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Dilophosaur tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level R-Dilophosaur: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The R-Dilophosaur, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
The R-Dilophosaur has 126 base Health - glass-cannon fragile. With 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Dilophosaur has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. It carries 45 base Weight - minimal inventory space.
Taming the R-Dilophosaur requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Basic Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the R-Dilophosaur is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 28°C and 32°C. Killing a wild R-Dilophosaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.12 Element plus 0 Element per level.
