Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Dodo based on your settings.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Dodo at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Dodo unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Dodo: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The Dodo is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The Dodo has 40 base Health - extremely fragile. Weight capacity starts at 50, giving it minimal inventory space.

The Dodo is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Dodo can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–30°C temperature window. A wild Dodo is worth 0.5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.01 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
