Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Just a quick hint for any flying creature affected by the bola, you can, if you’re aim is good enough, knock creatures out of the sky with the bola.
(I figured this out when I tried it after watching How To Train Your Dragon 1, for those who are wondering)
Single player uses:
1. Early game travel mount: Pelagornis is slightly slower than pteranodon and has equally bad weight and stamina, but since it can swim you won't immediately get dismounted if it force lands you into the water.
2. Free organic polymer: Pelagornis has the best gathering rate for organic polymer of any dino, set one to aggressive in a cage with mating penguins and air conditioners.
I’ve been looking for one of these for SO FLIPPING LONG and I finally found one! I shot its head with a tranq arrow and guess what? It bloody DIED! my pain continues.
So I was out swimming in my raft when I see a bright pink bird in the water. I go to the Dododex, realize I can’t tame it cause it’s over water, and then it got killed by a fish thingy. Rip hot pink bird. One up is respect for this guy.
Don't bola and knock out if floating it will drown try to find one that is on or close to the shore
Rockin,Rockin and Rollin.Down to the beach I’m stollin.But the seagulls poke at my head, not fun!I said “seagulls...mmgh!Stop it now!Everyone told me not to stroll on that beach.Said seagulls gonna come,poke me in the coconut, and they did,and they did.Had me goin’ like“HOAAHAHAHAHA!”Nothing I could do but yell,when these birds attacked me.When I tried to run I fell,and then these kids start laughing.And then..got hit in the neck with a hacky sack.Where’d it come from?Run,run,run,jump. I can be a backpack while you run. Run,run,run,jump. And stop..put me down. I love to groove and boogie. Great. Show you some dance moves. No I don’t want you to. If I had your giant feet, out there on the beach, could have outrun those birds. You’re a phycho weiner. Let me grab my beater. “MMHAMHMHMHA!” Stop it please! Don’t hit me! Please! Don’t hit me! Come on man! Quit that banging! Hey what’s that stank? You put a fish in our basket! I forgot I did that! (Sorry, couldn’t fit the rest of the song in)
In my opinion for mobile players is a more worth it than pteranodons
You won’t need balm just backup narcotics their food us just fish, and they can pretty fast if you up his speed( assuming you will use it mainly for flying cuz of ptys balm reasosn) and the saddle is just a couple of levels after the pteranodons , keep your balm for a harder tame, seriously loosing a peli is way less damaging and punishing than a pteranodonu, they so much easier to tame
These are actually quite good they are slower than pt but still quite fast. They gave decent stamina and do extra dmg against small fishes. They can float on water and can be used as mobile fishing seat. They harvest organic polymer, AND guess what, they regain stamina on water! Try it out. If you can tame a high level one of these, tame one! Equals ptera in multiple aspects, and even surpasses it in some aspects. It’s saddle is also just a bit higher level. Great first flyer before argy
I'm so bored that I bred and max imprinted this birdies and they don't dissappoint. It can carry and harvest too much polymer I built storages dedicated only for organic poly because of this guy. It's slow and low on weight but they have reduction on organic poly, but they have a mid stamina and HP and they don't dismount you on waters. I have 6 of this max imprinted guys that I used for organic poly and penguin party and now I never run out of organic poly. If you ever tame one, get another two or three. You can use em mid game for transport along with 2 argies.
You can tame it on primitive plus but you need to make the kibble in a cooking pot. It won't work if you make it in a cauldron. Hopefully that's helpful to those that are trying to make kibble but cannot.
