Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Here’s 3 geat things you can do with them:
1: Strap bombs to their beak and direct them to an enemy base
2: Make an army and give them really high melee damage
Tame every dodo you find and station them outside your base
3: Make a fake base out of thatch to make enemies think you’re a noob, and fill it with dilos, dodos, and other nasty beasties. Watch with a bow from afar and shoot ‘em if they try to run
More Dodo Utility Tips
Dodos are a pretty useful farm animal:
1. Build a 3x3 box or pen, get 10-ish dodos, 1 male, oviraptor and dung beetle and put them all inside
2. Set the dodos to mate, oviraptor and dung beetle to wander
Dodos have a chance to lay an egg every time they poop, giving you lots for kibble. The oviraptor will auto pickup eggs, and the dung beetle will pick up the poop giving you fertilizer and oil
You can also hatch fertilized eggs and kill the babies for prime meat. Yummy!
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.
