Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are extremely aggressive and dangerous, and is harder to tame and stronger than any titan. On average, you’ll need a group of 7 with MEK’s and MSCM’s and 5 backup’s in case one of you get hit. It’s near impossible to tame solo, i’ve heard on average it takes 18 hours, without anything going wrong.
You constantly need to direct MSCM’s to the head to deal torpor, and it has to be hit around 40 times. The thing that is unique about this creature is that the higher the torpor, the more aggressive it becomes. It becomes faster, and deals more damage. When its at 50% torpor, it can one shot most Mek’s. Another thing is that it doesnt torpor run. Its torpor drain is much higher than a giga, so missing a single shot could be punishing. Once knocked out, it’ll lose torpor at double the rate, meaning you’ll need thousands of bio-toxin. It eats exclusively element, around 400. Its not even 24 hours, its 6 hours for balancing reasons and it can send alpha tribes from TEK to thatch within at most 30 minutes. There is no real way to kill it without commands or putting it against the alpha king titan.
When one is tamed, it is announced to the entire server that a dodo has been tamed. If you ever get this notification, and you just so happen to be one high ranking tribe, prepare for cataclysm.

50 behemoth gates surrounding it
500 shocking tranq darts with capped ascendant longneck (miss one shot and the torpor will reset)
Once it’s knocked out you must feed it 20 fully imprinted hp and melee mutated giga with levels of 300 minimum

if u are new to ark then yes u can tame one or two but don't let ot get tooo much. i know they are cute but that's it. they are not helpful and u need to take care of them. i had so much of them and it broke my heart to kill them because i couldn't tame more dinosaurs
Dodos are quite easy to tame, and have few uses, but here’s 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 it’s 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 won’t really affect the effectiveness so I recommend those, you won’t need narcs, and it is a quick tame, so just sit by it until it’s up
Happy taming!
P.S. I’m 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

Alright so this is how to tame a dodo for newbies
1: get some berries (make sure it’s a decent amount so you don’t 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 😊
I hatched triplets, two died within seconds, one survived and she is the chosen one
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 👆, if unhelpful 👇
My friend had a dodo... and it has like 8000% melee damage and 2000 health.... the most op thing we have tamed
