They can spawn alone or up to packs of 5 and when you run up to one and punch it they have a very low chance of attempting to attack you once by pecking you then fleeing. Idk if this is a bug or not but it allows you to get a very rare death message and/or clip.

Just club it until it knocks out then feed berries until it tames

Taming a dodo is super EASY!

But good for first Dino 😄

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 😊

20 metal behemoth gates

Ascended longneck rifle 150+ traq darts

5 lvl 150+ Giganotosaurus for sacrifice

You also gotta wear the dodo wyvern mask skin

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 👇

Knock him out by punching him. Give him berries (mejoberries are the best, the purple ones). When tamed, he sometimes lays eggs that are very good for feeding you.
