Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Baby dodos give prime meat. Not very much, but they’re so easy to breed/hatch/get that it’s more worth it than a t-rex. I recommend incubating the eggs until they’re a few seconds to hatching, bringing to an unconscious predator, hatching them, and then feeding them to the predator. If you can bring yourself to kill baby dodos it’s a great strategy. Up so more people see.
How to tame basically any carnivore with raw prime meat:
Get some female rexes and a male rex. Get them to lay fertilised eggs. Incubate the eggs until they are a few seconds from hatching and pick them up. Knock out what you want to tame and starve it for the amount of time indicated on Dododex (note: if you’re taming royal griffins on mobile, you’ll need to starve it for ~60% more time than what Dododex says). Then, put down a bunch of standing torches, light them, throw down your eggs, and hatch the baby Rexes. Kill the babies and harvest their bodies with a good carnivore or good pickaxe. Finally, transfer all the raw prime meat to the knocked out dino’s inventory and it should instantly tame. The nice thing about this is that your new carnivorous friend was sleeping so it won’t know that you just murdered some babies and won’t think you’re a monster, and the female Rexes won’t see you killing their children, so you can just tell them their children died of “natural causes”.
Killing babies gives tons of prime but very brutal
“I don’t know about you but this stuff tastes amazing”
-Random carnivore
Baby parasaur give arond 20-45 prime meat hope tis helps you
If you want a good amount of prime meat in a safe area on Fjordur simply go to VardiLand North- North then fly over to the edge of that ice on the right side and you will see a bunch of penguins! Just kill the baby's with a chainsaw and cut them up with the chainsaw and boom some good prime meat without the risk! Up so other scardy cats like me can see. x3
ASA spawn babies and boom unlimited prime, I k ow everyone knew this already
On mobile. For beginners, Titanoboas are probably the easiest way to get prime meat. They have a 3× Ranged Damage multiplier on their head so just back away from them while repeated shooting with a bow. On the other hand there are a ton of dangerous predators where the boas normally live so bring some dinos with u. (Dilos are a good choice)
Or perhaps, u would find the next choice much more favorable...
For a less aggressive, but arguably much stronger prey, Paraceratherium is the one that I personally find to be the best meat-giver. Where u would get, say, 7 prime from a diplo (also a great source for beginners becuz of they never harm u directly, only pushy and shovey) u would get double that amount from a paracer. As soon as u have a pair of high level, mate boosted dilos, u can try this method. Whistle attack on a low level paracer and support ur dilos with a bow. Let ur dilos harvest the body for u if u don't have metal tools yet. Quick and easy with only minimal risk of losing ur life or ur tames.
Listen mobile players if u want to get raw prime meat go the the mountains and kill Argentavis it the best way and harvest with a metal pick
Go to carno Island with a decent level spino and have some fun
Guys- all those tips about, “hey, make a Rex farm to get easy prime meat” is relatively useless- people came here to learn how to get the Rexes in the first place. If anyone has any other tips (not commit mass murder on every diplo in a 7 mile radius) I think it would be helpful to post it
If you need some in the snow biome kill some juvenile kairuku I just picked them up with an argy and killed them also as a bonus you get organic polymer
When babies (dinosaur babies) are dead they also give raw prime meat
I haven’t played ark for to long so I don’t know if this too is too good but I just put a lot of Prime meat harvesting on my moschops and I got like 20 prime meat from one level 18 titanoboa
How to get a shitload of prime: Use a flyer (preferably an argent) and pick up an ant. Then drop the ant next to a megatherium. It will go on a killing spree but never harvest the bodies. Once it has finished, go down an collect your prizes. This works best near the redwoods as the most creatures live there that will drop prime.
Go to herb island, make a bunch of spike walls, put a dill or any other weak creamer on wander, and watch all the stegos, trikes, brontosaurus, all those guys kil themselves.
Set up a preserving bin or two near your trap and load them up before to KO your tame.
When prime is needed be sure to put it in a fast flyer so that it is not gonna spoil when needed to tame
You can easily get prime meat from alpha’s just be careful, use a high lvl Dino or a flying high hp creature
