Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
While unable to gather metal from metal nodes, it is able to collect metal when attacking obsidian nodes. It is much better than the anky at collecting obsidian. However,there currently is a bug that prevents it from gathering anything but stone in the colder regions of the island map. If a large amount of stone is needed, metal and Crystal nodes give a significantly larger amount of stone per swing than standard rocks. Wild animals will not remain aggro'd to a curled up doed. So in the even of a losing fight with wilds, you can jump off of it, it will curl up at less than 1/3 health and you can kill the animals or take aggro and lure them away. If you stay on it it will stay uncurled until dead. Follow will also prevent it from curling.

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.
In crystal isles they get gobs of organic polymer from the giant bee cave
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.
