What is a dodo used for? dodo utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
a cute, simple little bird. they come in slightly different sizes. easy to tame by knocking it out with your fists and feeding it various berries, mejoberries work best. they are pretty much useless unfortunately, so they mostly just make cute little pets. the only thing i guess they can do is carry a little bit of weight for you if you're a beginner, but they're already very slow so that'll just make them really sluggish. they're mostly only good for sitting around and looking cute.
Since this is generally a first breed for new players, I’ll put this here: to hatch an egg, drop it near a fire pit. Once it hatches, you need to claim it, or it will die. After doing so, add berries to its inventory and manually feed them till about 10% maturity. After that, they can eat on their own.
Dodos are actually very good as a starter tame. They can make dodo kibbles (if you are on mobile ore switch) you can tame pteranodons which can make you travel ANYWHERE. Plus, they are good carnivore distractions when you are trying to run away from that raptor pack that invaded your thatch house and settled down there to wage war on you...
Easiest way to tame weak carnivorous (dimetrodon, for exemple) :
1rst : build a trap, to let your beloved victim falls in
2nd : get an agressive, (but the weakest you'd find) dodo on your shoulder
3rd : start the knock out process, for the next taming
4rth : as soon as the victim's HP are too low to keep the knockout, release the dodo
The the dodo would attack directly the tame, so you really don't want a high level one ;
At the really 1rst dodo's attack, you'd whistle passive
By this way, the tamin would agro on the big bird, eats it, heal back, while you'd keep knocking it
