ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

If you simply just don’t feel like going all the way to the south cave for your dug beetles or well any cave just use these! First get four stone battlements and make a square anywhere near your base with guards (depending on your area) personally I recommend mammoths and tamed ones. Next take any of your birds and go around on beaches pluck a dodo and bring it back and drop it in. Keep doing this until you can’t find any more. Then make a staircase with wooden ramps up to it up and down. Then make a door and walls and all that at the bottom of it inside the cage. Then you can go in and out without constantly having to get on your bird and worry about things getting in or out other than pteranodon sand other fliers. Argies are really all you need to worry about there. Next because wild animal shit lasts longer you can walk in take their shit and eggs I usually take females because two times the use both food and fertilizer and then boom poop slash fertilizer fiesta for u! U get it.
More Dodo Utility Tips
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 you’ve 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!
I’ve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.
Dodo's have a chance to lay an egg every time they poop. So force-feed them a bunch of stimberries (That will make them poop, and lay eggs)! Just make sure that you have some regular berries because it will make their food go down. Never again will you have to worry about obtaining Dodo eggs. You will only need to tame one!
