DodoRex — Detailed Guide

The DodoRex is ARK's best-known event monster: a Rex body with a dodo's head, very fast, with fire breath and enormous, regenerating health. It appears during Fear events and can be summoned in several other holiday events.

Where to find it

  • ASE: during Fear Evolved it spawns every third day at midnight at a random spot on The Island.
  • ASA: during Fear Ascended it spawns every third day at midnight on most maps, except Scorched Earth and Aberration.
  • Genesis Part 2: it is the final boss of the Survive the ARK mission.

How to get one

It cannot be bred, and it can only be tamed during the Turkey Trial event. In Turkey Trial, Winter Wonderland, Eggcellent Adventure and Awesome Anniversary it can be summoned at a cooking pot with that event's ingredients.

Tips

  • Water: it is weaker in water and cannot breathe fire while swimming.
  • Bleed: Deinonychus and Xiphactinus can make it bleed.
  • Bases: it tears through metal structures, so do not fight it next to your base.
