What happens when you run out of tribe mates?

then i go tame and stake out a few dodos and dilos to appease it

Most likely nothing. If you don't see it it could be anywhere on the island, people have looked all over for it and not found it. More importantly if you don't see it then it's in stasis and doesn't move. (assuming single player)

So if you don't see it you're good. You will continue not to see it.

If you do see it kite it away.

If you do see it near your home. Get a bird or a fast dino and kite it away. Just be warned, you and your mount will likely die. But treat it like an alpha, and lead it away.

I'm kind of a new, player, so I don't understand what you guys mean by "kite it away". And because I'm new I don't have any tamed dinos.

"Kite it away" means make it chase you so you can lead it away from your base.

I like the sacrificial idea
I would definitly do it, catch a live player, and throw them down to the rex!

Does the moon flares show the area of the thing? Because if you look up in the sky, I see the dodorex's head, and what look like shooting stars coming off it.

[Old-gamer]

No, the moon, shooting flares, etc lead you to nothing. They are just for effect and you have to search for it which can be exhausting and fruitless.

That's just the Bat^H^H^HDodo Signal saying he's spawned. It won't give you any hint as to where he is.

[CrystalArmature]

Will it be removed after the Fear Evolved update and/or is there a way to turn it off/remove it (excluding killing it which is relatively impossible after I took a little wiki trip)?

[Old-gamer]

Hehe, maybe that is what "Fear Evolved" will really mean...Halloween passes and the Devs leave that 666K Health-Spawn-from-hell roaming around to BBQ us! Just kidding. I think it is supposed to only be around for a 10-day event that started last week befgore Halloween. So, it should be gone soon. You're gonna die in so many other ways that the DDRex is the least of the concerns. Just have fun and get good at staying alive.

[Buck Fell]

Yes, but he (or a tamable version) is expected to appear for the holidays so he'll be back.

If you're playing single player or a server admin you can put the following in your Game.ini

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="DodoRex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

To replace him with a regular Dodo or put this:

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="DodoRex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

To replace him with nothing (ie nothing spawns at all). I suspect you'll still get the music and the "DodoRex Has Appeared" type message but what gets spawned is just a regular 'ole dodo or nothing.

Edit: Those have to be all one line and they should be after this line:

I checked back in the thread from Jat announcing the Fear Evolved Event has begun (last Wednesday) and he said it would run for 1-week. So, it should be over this Wednesday at some point. Hmmm,,,I'd better load up on some of those missing skeleton skins in case they are gone soon. Really like the way those things look on some of my herd (especially the Rex skin).

Overall I liked the event and the whole Halloween atmosphere. I'll be happy when the trees go back to normal though. The fall leaves are cool, but I'm starting to miss the jungle trees.
