The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Dilophosaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Dilophosaur across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Dilophosaur unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Dilophosaur bleeds 0.3 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

The Dilophosaur is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Dilophosaur sits at 130 base, making it glass-cannon fragile. With 100 base Stamina, the Dilophosaur has low stamina reserves. It carries 45 base Weight - very limited carrying capacity.

The Dilophosaur is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Basic Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Dilophosaur fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 28°C–32°C temperature window. Killing a wild Dilophosaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.12 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
