Who else thinks dodos should be passive tames?

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!

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 you’ve 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!

I’ve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.

Arrow to the sky so more people see!

I recommend breeding these guys for size as soon as possible. They unlock cool new abilities as they get bigger!

Size 1.55: now drops dodo feathers off its back, used for crafting items like sail plume, dodo decimater, and dodo cultivator

Size 3.00: you can now ride them without saddles, and equip dodo decimater and dodo cultivator.

How to breed for size:

Select biggest male and biggest female dodo

Build a 1x1 pen (doesn’t need roof)

Put the dodos in the pen

Enable wandering on both dodos (tap skull icon in top left corner)

Wait

Pick up fertile dodo egg

Make campfires (at least 2)

Fuel campfires (at least 20 fuel per fire)

Light campfires

Drop egg next to (not on) campfires

Wait for egg to hatch

Claim baby (skull Icon)

Feed baby (they eat a lot)

Wait for baby to grow up

The new dodo will be anywhere in between his parents sizes, most likely on the edge, with slight variation (size 1.00 and size 1.50 would have a baby of size range 0.95-1.55, most likely bigger than both parents)

Other breeding facts:

Mating bar: at 100%, a fertile egg will be laid

Maturation bar: at 100% it will progress to next stage of growth. (Baby, juvenile, adolescent, adult)

Imprinting bar: increases strength when working for you (whistling, riding)

Wants ____ in __:__ giving it what it wants increases imprinting

Fun fact: did you know, you can get twins and triplets from eggs? The chances of this happening vary by species.

Hope you find this helpful!

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. :)

Very fun for single player

When you get lonely it’s always There

Best early game tame, 5x easier to tame than dilos and a large pack of them (5 - 15) will easily kil a raptor

Dodos are AMAZING tames for beginners for these reasons

1. They die for you ( other beginner tames usually run away)

2. Enough dodos can kill a turtle (carbonemeys)

3. They lay eggs fast (good for simple kibble farms)

4. You can carry them (you can grab them and run away from danger)

5. If you want to breed them you can just trap them in between some small storage boxes. You don’t even have to make walls for them to breed in

6. They are disposable. They are very common and easy to just tame another one if your original dies

7. They poop consistently (good for beginner farms)

8. They are simple (you can give them a lot of berries and they won’t go hungry for a long time)

9. You can tame them by knocking them out with your fists

10. If you level up their health you can grab one and throw it at a dangerous creature as you run away.

Those are ten reasons why dodos are great tames for beginners

These guys are op for killing sarcos in early game cuz I told my dodo to attack the sarco and it was behind its hit box and I was spearing the sarco till it died and the dodo did good damage so these are rlly good tames
