Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

- Must have Dino for building stone structures for this is the best way to gather stone in the game
- if you build a large enough pen that has a rock spawn in it, you can set the doed on wonder (only Dino to do so) and it will collect stone for you until weight is full
- Great for raiding as once it falls below 30% hp it takes 90% reduced damage and torpor great for taking turret fire

One of arkβs essential tames alongside the trike (berries), anky (metal), argent (heavy travel), ptera (quick travel & argent taming), and beaver (wood).
The Doedic is one of the most essential Dino's on ark. It's the most important thing when building stone buildings, or other stone structures. The higher the level the better, and weight is essential!
Me: So you can harvest the most stone out of any method, take a quarter of the weight, but canβt break stone wallsβ¦
Doedicurus: Yes.
Equip your Doedicurus with a saddle, pick it up with an Argentavis and fly near rocks as it automatically harvests the stone as you fly. Level up the melee damage to harvest more stone with each swing. Level up your Argentavisβ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.

They no longer harvest obsidian, just stone. Not sure if they changed it with the new patch, but tried to collect obsidian in the Center with him and all I got was stone.
