If you set it to wander it gathers stone then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm stone basically up if helpful

Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.

If something’s chasing you hide behind this guy so the creature is distracted trying to kill it ⬆️ For people to see

Recommend using tranq darts. When it ball up just shoot it’s feet duhhhhh

One of ark’s essential tames alongside the trike (berries), anky (metal), argent (heavy travel), ptera (quick travel & argent taming), and beaver (wood).

Taming even a low-mid level can turn building in stone into an afternoon instead of a weekend. Highly recommended must have dino for everyone.

The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75% *BUMP*

They are excellent at getting stone, but they cant damage stone buildings..... im confused

Be sure to shoot the doedicurus on it's underside, not the shell, the shell only takes half torpor

Use a equus when it’s balled up to tame fast like so people know

Me: So you can harvest the most stone out of any method, take a quarter of the weight, but can’t break stone walls…

Doedicurus: Yes.

Tranq arrows are fine, shoot in the face, walk backwards and continue shooting in the face, if you can shoot the underside when he turns, then go ahead. It is a little difficult to time that however. When it starts to run away from you, just keep in front of it and keep shooting it in the face. If for any reason it rolls up into a ball, let it go and find another one. If you are intent on taming it, put a structure around it to keep it safe, then sit by it for about 45 minutes to an hour, it will heal faster if you are within render of it. Leveling up the melee allows it to collect more rock with each swipe of the tail. If you are so low, put most of it in weight and some in melee, this will allow you to collect more with less trips. If you have a tribemate, and you are using a Quetzal or a skiff, then only level melee.

These things mainly spawn in redwoods. Up if you think it’s useful

they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out

Could you add the Dino's spawn regions, and also make it really specific (like a percent chance).

Don’t listen to ppl who say u need tranq darts if it’s high enough lvl it won’t get low enough to curl in a ball so if it is a high lvl you can use tranq arrows freely:)

Shoot tranqs at the head it will sleep fast

Tame using darts. They don’t take damage so they don’t curl up into a ball when you shoot them with the darts and you just need to dodge it’s swings when it Agros on to you.

The Doedic is one of the most essential Dino's on ark. It's the most important thing when building stone buildings, or other stone structures. The higher the level the better, and weight is essential!
