Tips & Strategies
For some reason on Mobil they have a saddle slot. Weird, huh!
After you tame a dung beetle, you can throw it in a cage on wonder. That way they don't get in the way.
Ragnarok easy tame.
1) tame a few Rex, save the poop.
2) feed the poop to dung beetle(desert area).
Congratulations you have a beetle...
PC players on Lost island- I found one really quickly in the estuary swamps down the way from the redwoods castle. Once you have one or a few they will make compost bins obsolete as they make compost way faster and added bonus of oil. It was surprisingly docile in those trees too. I’m always nervous to got down in heavy tree cover cuz I’m a scaredy cat and care way too much about my Dino’s but I just landed on my argy and walked around down there on the litter islands the slitting rivers make on their way to the ocean and found in almost immediately. Also on the north east side of that river there a small shallow pond where hecka Ovid spawn for me. Enjoy.
Accurate tip for taming these cuties :
1. Craft Bug repellent
2. Use a baryonyx to enter Lower south cave
3. If you want you can also sneak by them. Use baryonyx to kill scorpions cuz Bug repellent doesn't work on them.
4. Feed the dung beetle medium animal feces cuz it takes only 50 seconds
5. Carry it outside.
You got a dung beetle! -spoopy_190YT

Just feed it poop. It’s not that hard
These are passive tames meaning you tame them while awake. They are very easy to tame. You can just feed it poop or you can pick it up with a argentavis and put in a box.
If you hit them they won’t start running away. They will run at you and take out there anger by smacking you with its horn. And ima just say it they hit you.... it’s gonna hurt.
Add a variety of feces (in. Large, Medium and Small) to produce oil and fertilizer faster. They can convert multiple varieties at the same time but not multiple of the same.
You can also place them in wooden cages to keep them from wandering around while wandering to convert feces to oil and fertilizer.
On Valguero, they only spawn in the scar so be careful for Wyvs but grappling hooks work perfectly in PVE if you’re alone. I used a PT for easy getaways :)
Make a separate building for the beetle. It wanders around, and can be quite annoying, as it's usually in the doorway. Put it near your greenhouse, or somewhere easily accessible to encourage your tribe to keep it loaded with poo.
Carryable by Kaprosuchus as of May 2020. (Not sure if they were before; Dododex says they are not)
U can find loads of them in the center's lava island cave
They are passive tames. I always pick them up with my Argy and take them to my base and drop into a taming pen or at least somewhere safe on the map (whichever is closer). I’ve always used spoiled meat to tame and it doesn’t take much time at all.
So to tame one go to a lower south cave get spoiled meat and passive feed them and kill everything except dung beetles in the area
How to use them they are used to make fertilizer and oil put poop in inventory and build a box for it get it in the box put it on wonder and boom fertilizer and oil they sometimes prouduce oil
