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!
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 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.
Arrow to the sky so more people see!
On mobile these can be bred to get insane sizes, like huge, bigger than an Allosaurus and they have 8 abilities unlocked at certain sizes. I only know 2 abilities, one is the dodo gains an immense amount of speed and charges towards the target. The other that I know of is that it jumps up and slams into the ground which stuns surrounding enemies. Do not underestimate the potential that these have on mobile, they can become beasts.
To get giant dodos breed the biggest dodos you have (put them both on wandering) then hatch them and you can have ride them at 2.6 with a saddle but at 3.0 you can ride them without a saddle.
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.
If you have to pick up a dodo(a very early tame, likely your first), choose a female. Dodo eggs are able to be made into basic kibble/dodo kibble(depends on the playing platform), which can be used to tame some powerful early tames.
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 (doesnβt 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.
