Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Dodo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Give your enemies a dodo bird, if their smart, they should know it's an act of WAR. Put a C4 under it to where it is hidden, and when it's near people, blow it up.

They are a good source of food early in a playthrough. Build a small thatch shack, put one male and as many females as you want and you have a pretty decent supply of raw meat, hide, and exp (From leveling them up and hatching) considering how early you can do it.

For taming, find a level 60+, shoot with bow and tranq. 2 head shots timed 3 secs apart will suffice. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Use a pteradon to put a dodo on a titanoasuar and whistle attack target, in about 2 days attack the Titan with the ptero or carry something else that is on aggressive next to the Titan and then kill it for massive xp

These guys actually do have some use. If you just scatter them around you're base and have them on neutral, if something does get in your base it'll aggro on the dodos and you'll get a message saying you're dodo died, alerting you of the intruding creature.…

A little Dodo told me that you've been killing harmless poor little dodos on the beach, and knocking then out, forcing them to be your egg slaves, you sick monster...

Now started breeding these for my dodo arena, people come from all over the map for the dodo fights, I'm breeding the ultimate killers out here and they will be unstoppable in the bone crusher arena

My favorite thing to do with dodos is to gather about 40-50 of them, stick em in a walled off area with no roof, get my pteranodon, and kidnap naked to drop them into a pit of ravenous aggressive dodos ;)

Use their magical powers of the twerk to devastate their prey, nothing can stand up to its might the twerk will destroy us all!

Having a dodo with you on an adventure is a good way to get emergency food. All you need now is a daedon and you have eggs and bacon.

There are 2 uses for dodos. Use them as your own personal alarm. Just set it to aggressive and other players will be forced to kill it and that will tell you an intruder has entered your home

I lost all 174,284 of my titanosaurs to a level 6 dodo, so I decided to get revenge, the dodo killed every body and everything on the island, very sad day for us all

This beast's two little brothers, the Dodorex and the Dodowyvern terrorize ARK during Fear Evolved (=Halloween) as bosses.

Be aware this creatures soak narc and tranqs I'd bring 500 tranqs also taming off a quetzal is a good tactic , once it's tamed it can soak turrets like no tommorow
