How to Call Back Dinos in Ark

To call back dinos in Ark, you can use the “Follow All” whistle, which commands all your tames in the area to follow you, making it easier to recall lost dinos.

Understanding Dino Behavior and Commands

Calling back dinos in Ark involves understanding their behavior, using the right commands, and applying strategies to manage and retrieve them when they are lost.

Strategies for Calling Back Dinos

Using Whistles

The “Follow All” whistle is particularly useful for recalling dinos that have wandered off or gotten lost. This whistle command instructs all tames within the area to follow you, making it easier to round them up.

Forming a Tribe

Even if you’re playing solo, forming a tribe can be beneficial. It allows you to use the track feature more effectively. By typing the dino’s name or its type into the search bar and selecting track all, you can locate your lost dino more easily. If your lost dino is in an ordering group, a green arrow will appear over its head momentarily when you switch to that group, helping you identify its location.
