Terrible Lizards allosaurus Survival Guide
By the Terrible Lizards Guide editors
Updated
The Allosaurus is a threat to outmaneuver: survive its charges, use vertical routes to escape, and reach the next area. The Terrible Lizard Wiki fan site describes arena hunts built around timed charges and vertical escapes. Terrible Lizards allosaurus encounters also include a train tunnel patrol that doubles back, so keep moving and watch where it has been.
What the Terrible Lizards allosaurus encounter asks you to do
The Allosaurus encounter asks you to survive and reach the next area. The fan guide describes arena hunts, timed charges, and vertical escapes as its core parts. Your goal is to read the charge, move out of its line, then take a route upward or onward. The encounter is not about defeating the dinosaur through damage; survival is the way through.
The Allosaurus appears in more than one kind of threat pattern described by the fan guide and the level walkthrough. The arena focuses on charges and escapes, while the train tunnel involves patrol movement and doubling back. Keeping those situations distinct helps you choose what to watch: in an arena, read the next burst; in the tunnel, track the patrol and where it may return. For broader route context, see the [Walkthrough](/walkthrough/) and [Dinosaurs](/dinosaurs/) pages.
| Entries | How it is counted | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | One encounter action | Watch for the Allosaurus to close distance in a short burst. |
| 2 | One encounter action | Move toward its flank when it charges. |
| 3 | One encounter action | Jumping over the Allosaurus does not work. |
| 4 | One encounter action | Use a wall run, ledge, or other vertical route to escape. |
| 5 | One encounter action | Survive and reach the next area to beat the encounter. |
How to survive an Allosaurus charge
To survive an Allosaurus charge, sidestep toward its flank instead of running straight away. The fan guide describes the creature as closing distance in short bursts inside enclosed arenas, so a direct retreat does not match the recommended response. Aim to move across its path toward the side as the charge comes in, then use the opening to get away.
Terrible Lizards allosaurus charge timing matters because the encounter puts the threat and your escape in the same short sequence. Wait for the charge, shift toward the flank, and keep a vertical route in mind for the next move. The source gives the direction to take and the action to avoid; it does not prescribe a specific rhythm or timing count. Follow the charge you see rather than relying on a numbered countdown.
How can you escape the Allosaurus vertically?
A wall run, ledge, or other vertical route is the recommended way to escape the Allosaurus. The fan guide explicitly says that jumping over it does not work, so do not make a leap over its body your planned answer to a charge. Look for a route that takes you upward or onto a ledge, then use it to leave the immediate threat behind.
The vertical escape is part of the same survival sequence as the flank sidestep. The sidestep changes your position when the Allosaurus charges, while the wall run, ledge, or other vertical path gives you a way out. Keep those actions in mind together instead of treating a jump over the dinosaur as an alternate escape. The [Tips](/tips/) page is a related place to look for broader advice.
Where does the Allosaurus patrol in the train tunnel?
In the train tunnel area, the Allosaurus patrols, doubles back, and can appear where you were moments earlier. The Terrible Lizards walkthrough fan site describes this changing position, which means a place that seemed clear may become dangerous again. Keep track of the patrol's direction and avoid assuming that the space behind you stays safe.
The tunnel pattern calls for attention to both the Allosaurus's current position and its earlier route. A patrol that doubles back can return toward a location you have just left, and the walkthrough notes that it may appear there moments later. Move with that possibility in mind and check your route as you go. This patrol advice is different from the arena response: the tunnel fact is about tracking movement, while the arena guidance emphasizes charge timing and vertical escape.
What do players report about the chapter three chase?
Players report that the Allosaurus can spawn camp during the chapter three chase, and they describe surviving while carrying a plush toy as difficult. That account comes from a Steam discussion, so treat it as a player report rather than a guaranteed behavior in every encounter. It gives you a specific situation to keep in mind while considering the tunnel patrol and the need to keep moving.
The report adds a caution about a chase situation, but the main guidance remains the actions described for the encounter: sidestep toward the flank during a charge and use a vertical route to escape. The discussion describes difficulty while carrying a plush toy, but it does not provide a separate movement technique for that situation. If the Allosaurus appears where you were moments earlier, the walkthrough's patrol description offers a reason to stay alert to its return.
Our take on Terrible Lizards allosaurus
Our take is that the clearest way to approach the Allosaurus is to focus on survival decisions you can act on: respond to charges with a flank sidestep, escape by going vertical, and keep track of a patrol that doubles back. Those points come from the fan guide and walkthrough, and they describe distinct demands across the arena and train tunnel. Together, they make reaching the next area the useful measure of progress.
Terrible Lizards allosaurus guidance is specific about what to do during a charge and what escape route to use, while the tunnel description warns that the patrol can return to a recently visited place. The player discussion adds a reported complication during a chase with a plush toy. Read that report as a player account, and use the stated encounter advice as the practical foundation for how to survive.

Terrible Lizards released on October 29, 2026, for Steam, Xbox Series, and PS5, according to the Steam store page. The same listing shows a regular price of $24.99 and a discounted price of $19.99. Those store details give context for the game page, while the Allosaurus advice above covers what to do during the encounter itself.
The Steam store page reports no user reviews. The listing is the source for the release date, platforms, prices, and review status, so those details should be read as store information. They do not change the encounter guidance: the Allosaurus is beaten by surviving and reaching the next area, with charge timing and vertical escapes central to the arena hunt.
