Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Despite what a lot of people will have you believe, dodos are easily one of the most useful and underrated tames in the game. Not only are they quick and easy meat (or prime meat if you have a tamed seagull shoulder pet) but they make basic kibble, which is easy to produce and satisfies all tames hunger. Use them to feed the pigs for the best mass healing. Also, if you are crossbow taming something with low health/torpor, and a high death risk, you can sacrifice a dodo to heal it on the fly. This let'you go much farther without having to waste engram points and resources on a longneck and bullets/tranks.

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. :)
You can put C4 on it and send it to bobβs but I donβt recommend doing that because itβs mean
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.
