ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
To tame a dodo you will need:
4 metal or better behemoth gates
A longneck rifle (preferably ascendant)
300 or so shocking tranq darts
Lots of raw prime meat
Bio toxin/narcotics (torpor drops insanely fast)
Ghillie
Step one: sneak up on the dodo and try to trap it in the gates (you can also bait it into the gates but it will probably kill you before then)
Step two: once trapped knock it out and put prime meat in inventory
Once taming make sure to regularly feed it narcotics. A dodo's taming effectivness actually starts at 5% and you have to feed it corpses (preferably rexes) to increase taming effectivness.
You now own a dodo!
More Dodo Taming & KO Tips
Dodos are quite easy to tame, and have few uses, but hereβs a guide anyway.
1. Find a dodo, they are found on the southwest, south, and southeast beaches, sometimes they are in the jungle next to the beaches.
2. Easiest way to knock out a dodo is to use fists, however itβs sometimes problematic with high level high health dodos, so I recommend a club or slingshot. Tranq arrows are kind of a waste, and can kill the dodo depending on level. No trap is needed because the player is able to outrun the dodo
3. Mejos work great, and wonβt really affect the effectiveness so I recommend those, you wonβt need narcs, and it is a quick tame, so just sit by it until itβs up
Happy taming!
P.S. Iβm making an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so check those out, all my tips have this format and end in Happy taming! If these are helpful, please raise it to the top so it can help more people

Just punch it until it sleeps and feed it berries
Alright so this is how to tame a dodo for newbies
1: get some berries (make sure itβs a decent amount so you donβt run out)
2: find a dodo and punch it/club it until it's unconscious
3: feed the dodo the berries (give it more as needed)
4:you have a dodo! Give him a name and enjoy π
I am trying to make a dodo army with my friend and we are breeding them so everyone MAKE A DODO ARMY NOW!!!
From what I have heard you can breed dodos to be so big you can ride without saddle, or you can breed so small it can sit on your shoulder. Working on breeding them big. To breed small/big then just breed your biggest/smallest dodos together. Hope this helps. if helpful π, if unhelpful π
BOMB THIS FRICKING THING IS A BOMB
Give it C4s AND EXPLODE A BASE!
This is really simple so Iβll try to make it hard. Find a Wild Dodo that suits you (colour, lev, etc). Then gather up a bunch of mejoberries for a fast tame limit. Get a club or some sort of bonker. Bonk it to sleep. Feed it the mejoberries. Protect it at all cost. Once awakened, name it. That is how to tame a dodoβ¦ the hard way. (P.S if you ever struggle, trap it with thatch.)
