Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved Companion
Tips & Strategies
The doedicurus is great for stone and is one of the most useful dinos mid game to build a stone base. However, the doedicurus' weight is extremely low, so you are best off using a queztal (Center and Island) or a paracer (Scorched Earth) with a platform saddle to carry the doedicurus. The animal used to carry the doedicurus will not recognize its weight so u can mine as much stone as you want without having to make constant trips. This is easiest if you have two people but it can be done with just 1.

Doedicurus: Yes.
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!
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 Argentavisโ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.
