Here is some information regarding the new DodoRex in ARK: Survival Evolved. It contains screenshots to show the actual size, info on its stats (so you know what you will need to kill it) and some general things like spawning it. Basic DodoRex info Currently the DodoRex seems to be untameable, like every other boss creature in ARK. It is however possible to kill it (with a team preferably) and get a special achievement on Steam. Be aware that it has a fire attack and a level 1 DodoRex already has 666,666 health! Furthermore, it is bigger than a Rex (see screenshots in this post)Read More →

With the upcoming ARK: Fear Evolved event getting closer and closer, more and more data is found in the devkit. Today we will show you some images of the upcoming DodoRex! More pictures will be added in the future, but for now you can already check how its colors are and even take a look at its fire-breath attack! We can’t wait to see the DodoRex in game, how about you? We can’t currently tell whether it will be tameable. The devkit shows torpor animations, which assumes it is, but at this point we cannot be 100% sure (but it looks promising). Besides the new dodorex,Read More →
