ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Infect a bunch of dodos with swamp fever,
Put them in a big box on the back of a quetz that has a Dino gate at the back wall,
Then fly the quetz over the map and when you're above the base of a tribe you don't like, open the gate on the quetz and fly over,
The diseased dodos will fall out the back and infect everybody with swamp fever,
Works best when the dodos also have C4s so that you can blow them up as well,
Works even better when you have an unclaimed onyc biting away and giving the dodos rabies,
Works even better than that when the dodos are max levelled entirely on melee damage,
Works EVEN better than that when the dodos are accompanied by some raptors,
And EEEEEEEVEN better than even that when the dodos have some pegos as well to steal any weapons and cryoed tames, after that just go back and bring any dodos raptors and pegos that somehow survived back with you and take anything in their inventories
More Dodo Utility Tips
You can put C4 on it and send it to bobβs but I donβt recommend doing that because itβs mean
Step 1:Tame dodo
Step 2:Get it to level 150
Step 3:switch between health and melee dmg upgrades
Step 4:Throw and tell it to attack an unsuspecting victim
Step 5: Laugh as they die to a dodo
These tames can be used as a bomb. You place C4 on the dodo and drop it into a base. Detonate and watch the fireworks!
In Ark Mobile you can breed dodos to get larger or smaller. Dodos below 0.8 scale can be mounted on your shoulder and above 2.4 scale they can be mounted and ridden.
Very fun for single player
When you get lonely itβs always There
For the guy who said that it would be cool if a dodo could sit on your shoulder: on ark mobile, a dodo smaller than .75 can in fact be carried on your shoulder. Dodos over 2.6 can be ridden. Fun fact. :)
If you are playing on Extiction tame a high level one of them. Mine fought against a lvl 70 Defense Unit and won because it was too small to be hit by it.
You can get prime meat from the babies, but it spoils very quick, so this is how to get it all to a predator:
1. Incubate lots of dodo eggs so they only have one or two seconds left to hatch.
2. Carry the dodo eggs as well as a campfire (you might need two) and fuel.
3. When youβve knocked out the predator you want, light the fire and hatch some of the dodo eggs.
4. Kill the babies and harvest their meat with a metal pick.
5. Feed the meat to the predator and enjoy!
Iβve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.
Dodos are a pretty useful farm animal:
1. Build a 3x3 box or pen, get 10-ish dodos, 1 male, oviraptor and dung beetle and put them all inside
2. Set the dodos to mate, oviraptor and dung beetle to wander
Dodos have a chance to lay an egg every time they poop, giving you lots for kibble. The oviraptor will auto pickup eggs, and the dung beetle will pick up the poop giving you fertilizer and oil
You can also hatch fertilized eggs and kill the babies for prime meat. Yummy!
Dodos have a chance of laying an egg every time it poops. Unlike all other tames, which have a chance to lay an egg approximately every 25 minutes.
