Tips & Strategies

How do they have so much health for such a small thing
Tip for fjordur:
Can be found in the dung beatle cave in the red woods located at 25.1 LAT and 93.1 LON. It's just a small little cave full of these little fertilizer machines.
ON lost island u can find them on swamp beaches
Use Biggest poop you can find. The bigger the better.
Wanna upgrade other stats? Listen well! Grab a tamed beetle fill your own inventory with all the poop that phiomia produces lock you and your beetle in a cage. Set his ass to Aggressive and unclaim it. Let it murder you and it'll have all the poop from your inventory. Reclaim it and wallah. Now you can increase its health
They take forever to be hungry again so use bigger poops
To the person who lets us all know about the spino trick, thank you and if you drain an argys stam, it will double, but not naturally, unlike the spino
My dung ate my newly hatched sarco. Devastated.
Lost iland they spawn around 25.5 62.0 easy no cave
You should be training these guys in 2 things: Health (for the off chance of a predator attack) and weight. The weight part might seem pointless now, especially since it barely adds anything, but you want to be able to feed these guys as much poop as possible.
Besides, the higher the starting level, the better you will be able to increase a stat (example: Moschops tamed at level 1 weight upgrade: 15%. Moschops tamed at level 100 weight upgrade: 30%-35%.)
Besides, Dung Beetles are a key progression point in ARK. Don’t believe me? Well, you need to cook certain foods for certain quests, and most recipes require some kind of crop or berry.
The problem? Poop will eventually decompose and your crops will disappear, meanwhile fertilizer lasts a lot longer before needing to be replaced. So not only do you want one of these with high health and weight capacity levels, but you also want multiple to maximize output.
TIPP: (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW)
1) They spawn inside the LOWER SOUTH CAVE and you can easily tame them up PASSIB using ROTTEN FLESH
2) If you put POOP inside their Inventory and let them WALK they will produce FRETILIZER and OIL after a period of time
3) I would recommend to JUST LVL UP THEIR WEIGHT so they can CARRY MORE POOP and PRODUCE more FERTILIZER and OIL
4) Build a small enclosure (or a box) for them to walk around inside it and also place a feeding trough filled with rotten flesh if you want
5) THEY CAN CLIMB OVER FENCES
~MADARA UCHIHA
In the desert on crystal isles. Tame them by using a grappling hook then get to a safe spot and load them up with rotten meat. I got four of them doing this!! Ringo, Paul, John and George!!
Lost island? Head to middle of dessert. You’re welcome. Take a Rex or Giga and get tons of chitin and organic poly while wandering around.
Use a argie to carry it where you need to go
