Variant
R-Dilophosaur Taming Calculator
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 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
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.
Required Narcotics
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 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
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.

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.
