Dung Beetle is a small yet useful creature in Ark Crystal Isles that you can use to gather fertilizer and oil. It is not a breedable or rideable creature that won’t attack you unless attacked. You will find them in deep caves near water sources.
To tame them, you need to draw them close to the cave entrance and tame it. Once tamed, you can use Dung Beetle to convert feces into Oil and Fertilizer. To do so, you must move feces into the Dung Beetle inventory and set it to wandering. Keep them in a wooden cage when you turn on the wandering option so they don’t disappear.
Let’s review all the possible locations and taming tips of this critter in Ark Crystal Isles.
How to Tame Dung Beetle?
Dung Beetle is a relatively easy-to-tame creature, and the best foods for taming this creature are given below:
- Large Animal Feces
- Medium Animal Feces
- Small Animal Feces
- Human Feces
- Spoiled Meat
Once you have the required food and find one Dung Beetle, you can start the taming process immediately. Just make sure there are no dangerous predators in the surroundings.
If you see a dangerous creature nearby, you can use your tames like Quetzal and carry the Dung Beetle to an area where you think other creatures will not disturb you.
Now, the approach to starting the taming process is pretty simple. You must stand behind the Dung Beetle and feed it the food it loves. Feces are the best food, and we recommend you go with that if you want to speed up the taming process.
