Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

These guys might honestly be the best beginner pet. They are a little hard to tame but it is so worth it. To begin, these are great defenders! I live in south zone so this keeps me safe from argys, sabertooths, dilos. They also are great stone collectors, they don’t even need a saddle to collect stone. Let it go on wander and it will collect stone for you and come back right before it gets encumbered.
More Doedicurus Utility Tips
There’s a way to fully lock a wild doed in place (or atleast on UME)
1; Get plant species Z fruit
2: find a doed
3: Hit the doed until it enters its shell
4: throw the fruit at it, it will become confused and “leave the shell” but technically still in it. The game becomes confused as its ment to be in the shell and it is and not at the same time, so it stays immobile.
The one i hit is still there.
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 Argentavis’ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.
