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

I see many new players struggling with taming one… those who lead to shore or look for a safe place…

A way better idea for starters is go level up by gathering explorer notes and tame a petra.

Then go to redwood tame a argy

Use the argy to look for a DEOD take it to your base then knock out and tame…

Yes taming takes too long with no kipple but taming at your base is way better and faster…

Don’t have more arrows? Your base is there and just make extra arrows if you run out

So much misinformation here. Where to begin lol ok so as of Aug 2023, you can knock out w tranq arrows no problem, just go for level 80+ shoot in the head not the shell, wait 5 seconds between shots. You can’t bola them so ignore that comment. Creatures do not take torpor damage when they are caught by bear traps so ignore that comment too. Someone said to use biotoxin to keep them unconscious that’s a terrible plan because these guys wake up pretty fast, and they take quite awhile to tame high levels. You want to use narcoberries because they take the longest to take effect, the time it takes to fill up all the way is invaluable compared to filling it up fast.

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

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

First you bola, then shoot in the head. Shooting in the shell will lead to hundreds of wasted tranqs.

Use a equus when it’s balled up to tame fast

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

They are found in redwoods EVERYWHERE I find them all the time - AncientTiger619

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:)
