Dodo Egg

One egg, two names

In ARK: Survival Evolved this item is simply the Dodo Egg, while ARK: Survival Ascended lists it as Dodo Egg (Valentines), with item text calling it a special Valentine dodo egg. The ASE description reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides basic nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Our records list it on 14 maps.

Collecting Dodo Eggs

The ARK Wiki facts on this page come from its article on the Dodo Egg of ASE. According to the wiki, Dodos drop these eggs at random; our records also name the Aberrant Dodo and the Bunny Dodo as sources. The wiki ranks them among the easiest eggs to gather: Dodos do not guard their eggs and are not angered when one is taken.

Eating, cooking and kibble

A Dodo Egg can be eaten on its own. The wiki also names it as an ingredient of Basic Kibble, the kibble for taming creatures such as the Parasaur, Phiomia, Dilophosaur and Kairuku. In our ASE recipe data it goes into 2 recipes: Cake Batter takes 1 egg and Cookie Dough takes 2.

Hatching a Dodo

The wiki lists two fertilized variants, the Fertilized Dodo Egg and the Fertilized Aberrant Dodo Egg. When two Dodos mate, their egg can hatch into a baby Dodo; the wiki gives a hatch time of 49m 59.76s. The egg needs between 22 and 30 °C (72 to 86 °F) and starts losing health outside that range, and an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut incubation by up to 20%. A female Dodo needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.

Weight and spoilage

Each egg weighs 3 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. An egg spoils after 8 days (192 hours).
