Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

The Doedicurus is one of the best utility dinos in Ark, and probably the best stone gathering dino available. The Doed can harvest stone from rock and metal nodes. While Doed’s don’t lay eggs, they are breedable. The Doed’s size makes it easy to store and it can be carried in the talons of Quetzals and Wyverns. If you’re planning to build in stone, the Doed is an essential addition to your dino collection!
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.
