Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Use on extinction to gather element dust and crystal from lamp posts and tables. If you have a crab (argy or quetz also work) you can quickly solo run ele dust (I got about 15k in an hour on 1x). You just have to put the doedicurus on wander and carry him near a lamp with your other tame. Make sure you empty him every 2-3 swings or he will overencumber on crystal and won't swing automatically any more. Of course he also cannot be on follow or he won't auto swing either.
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.
