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.

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.
