Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

When harmed, it will swing its spiky tail at whomever is attacking it. If the Doedicurus is harmed more than it could take, it will curl into a hard ball made of keratin, which is used to protect itself and fend off enemies. It will also, when tamed, roll through its enemies as another special attack. They are also great when you are in need of lots of stone ๐.

One of arkโs 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 canโt break stone wallsโฆ
Doedicurus: Yes.
Thereโs 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 โleave the shellโ 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 Argentavisโ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.
