ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you enter cave riding an Araneo or Arthropluera that was cave-tamed, you can ride up and tame without any creature going agro. Load soothing balm and spoiled meat in your hot bar for an easy passive tame, and no rush to finish like like using ghuillie armor and insect repellant.
For mobile and PC both ARK
Just tame a dire wolf or saber tooth
Head to lower south cave (hunter cave ) or swamp cave (immune cave )
Kill all the creatures (except dung beetle[s])
Feed it spoiled meat ( but animal faces is more preferred) (don’t use massive animal feces)
Once tamed carry it and ride your dino
Safely reach your base

On Ragnorak you can find them in the volcano biome beside the highlands . Very easy tame just use a couple of spoiled meats or dung. They have to be on wander to produce fertilizer, i keep mine in my greenhouse.
Picked up the dung beetle with my Arg and flew to a safe bldg and dropped the beetle into the bldg. Walked behind it to feed it as it requested. Took 3 med fees or 2 LG feeses for lol 260 beetle
Get yourself a full ghille suit, load up with large feces and go hunting with your Argy. Tame two at a time, pickup one and mount up then grab the second in Argy talons. Safe flight home
I always look for these in upper south cave. I always find them long before I run in to any aggressive creatures in the cave. Cannot say the same about the lower south cave.
In Valguero I saw some of them on the bottom of a dragon nest along with Titanoboa's too and I believe Mantis too (don't remember too well) anyways I only found out because sadly ice dragons are gigantic jerks and froze me at the same time that my pteranodon ran out of stamina as I started to descend down to the lava I spotted the dung beetles before dying and losing my stuff. So if you have strong tames head to the snow zone and it should be around the edge of the top right side of your map once you see the ice dragons flying around there nest shouldn't be too far fly down and it should be there.
DO NOT USE MEAT! If you use meat, it will take a very long time! Try using feces instead, as weird as it may sound, use medium. This can be acquired from brontos, paras, trikes, etc. Medium is fastest to tame. In the higher levels it might take a lot more than large, but in the lower levels it will take really close to large, if not the same amount!
Do they Attack or not? Someone plz answer
I find it best to go to the valcano on rag me and my tribe mate we’re able to tame about ten dung beetles there. I recommend bringing a Phiomia And some stimberries for quick poop. It can get a bit dangerous so also bring something with strength personally I just brought a wyvern and it worked fine.
Found in dark biome on ragnarock
My tribe has a larger 'wandering room' upstairs where we have multiple dung beetles and snails. They tend to naturally group up in the middle of the room so they're easy to manage. Just watch out, they can escape through an open door or glitch through the ceiling to the level below. You also can't pick them up when you have a shoulder pet on.
An easy tame if you have poop/rotten meat! I got two well leveling up in the bog today and they have very pretty colors so if you carry meat or pick up random poop and have something to KO them with then I suggest taming one!
Literally my favorite creature in all of ark. They’re cute and resourceful.
