Utility Tips
What is a dodo used for? dodo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
On mobile these can be bred to get insane sizes, like huge, bigger than an Allosaurus and they have 8 abilities unlocked at certain sizes. I only know 2 abilities, one is the dodo gains an immense amount of speed and charges towards the target. The other that I know of is that it jumps up and slams into the ground which stuns surrounding enemies. Do not underestimate the potential that these have on mobile, they can become beasts.
FOR WAR DODO BREEDING!!
Ah yes the dodo! Truly a under appreciated tame! Breed them for size! Start out with a regular set of wild tames (usually size .98 or 1.01) ((don’t level them unless you need to, it doesn’t effect the size change)) breed them, hatch em out and raise them. Only keep the ones that go up a size!! Keep doing this! Once they reach around 2.26 they start dropping dodo feathers!! Keep breeding and rotating out the smaller ones!!!once you get to the higher 2s and into the 3s you can start to ride them. Once you hit 3.5 then you can strap on a decimator bit or a cultivator bit and have some fun. ALSO ONCE YOU HIT 3.5 YOU CAN SWIPE DOWN LEFT SIDE (on mobile not sure if it works on others) AND IT WILL DO THE MOVE FROM THE DODO BOSS! THE BUTT SMASH!!
For small shoulder dodos just do the same breeding but only keep the lower numbers so far I’ve had a .06 scale that rides on my shoulder!
Level melee on them once you get the size you like! Raise a army!! Take over!
Come on now, who would ever say no to a couple hundred dodo. Yes, some "pro" ARK players will say, "UGH WHY WOULD YOU TAME THAT" but come on now, they make very good pet companions and their eggs are good food. Also, it's kinda fun to watch a pack of angry dodos chase down some poor dilo or something... SICK EM BOYS AND/OR GIRLS
Cute 'lil pet that's lays tons of eggs, and loads of poop for fertilizing crop plots, so an excellent source of quality food, at.. honestly any stage come to think of it. Especially when you have lots of them.
Fun mutations, and can be bred bigger or smaller on mobile.
They can work as a "bob's first fridge" too as putting perishable eats into a tamed creature's inventory slows spoil time by half.
Great for getting up off the ground and will loyally support you into the endgame, is this little fella the housepet for you? Yes.
