Taming the Fierce DodoRex: A Comprehensive Guide

To tame a DodoRex, you must first kill the Megapithecus, Broodmother, AND Wyvern to receive a Megapithecus Trophy, a Broodmother Trophy, and a Wyvern Trophy, and then place them along with three golden treats in the Annunaki Workbench to create a Boss Tribute. This intricate process is the key to successfully taming the elusive and powerful DodoRex in the world of ARK: Survival Evolved.

Understanding the DodoRex and Its Taming Process

The DodoRex is a unique creature that offers a thrilling challenge for players, with its immense power and the specific requirements for taming it. Given its characteristics and the special conditions under which it can be found, such as during the ARK: Fear Evolved events, understanding how to tame a DodoRex involves not just the technical steps but also knowledge of its behavior, the event schedules, and the preparation required.

Preparation and Execution

Preparation is key when it comes to taming a DodoRex. This includes having the necessary trophies from the Megapithecus, Broodmother, and Wyvern, acquiring golden treats, and ensuring access to an Annunaki Workbench. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in the taming process, and their acquisition can be as challenging as the battle against the DodoRex itself.
