Pretty much the only option that is both cheap and viable to get stone. Yeah there's the metal hatchet, but it's slow as hell. Essential tame, if you don't like getting your walls wrecked by trike charges. Also big weight reduction on stone, so it's even better with an argentavis or something like that

Bring some narcos their tarpor goes down a little quick

Find one in the redwoods bring berries then shoot tranq arrows on it’s head (don’t shoot it on his/her shell) shoot tranq arrows while walking backwards. don't worry he is very slow it cannot hit you while moving backwards then when its knocked out put wall spikes beside the Doedicurus so that other animals cannot kill it

Enable wandering and carry it with an argent and go from stone to stone.... easy and fast way to get stones

On ark mobile it’s not listed but it’s the best obsidian grinder better than anky

A handy tip to see if you need arrows or darts is to find out how much total health your doedicurus has and then choose your weapon to knock it out. Then using Dododex, see how many shots it takes to knock it out and then click on the weapon to see how much damage it does. Multiple those 2 numbers and if your answer is the relatively close to the health stat, choose a longneck instead. Example: I have a level 120 I want to tame. I have a crossbow that takes 40 shots to knock it out and does 150 damage per shot 40x150=6,000 so I switch to darts. If I had a level 100 and wanted to tame it with a crossbow that did 90 damage and took 50 shots to knock out 90x50=4,500 which (let’s pretend mine had 7k health) is less than 7,000 so I can knock it out with a crossbow. Remember that the examples at the end are NOT accurate just the idea. Happy taming!

In scorched earth they can be very useful for collecting sand to make clay for adobe structures. Also their level up animation is f***ing ADORABLE

A thing i realized about doeds is that when they eat stimberies (about 5 is enough ) they poop as fast as phiomias do when also fed stimberies.

Can gather crystal from hitting street lights along with dust.

Use for stone not metal use ankylo for metal instead

If you place a bunch of wooden signs around the creature then you can shoot it in the head easily without wasting any tranqs

Do not tame one of these with berries if you don’t have much time! They take really long to tame!

I find these to be lean, mean, pooping machines! Just go out on a stone-gathering run, roll around everywhere and wait for them to start defecating! Poop for days!

good for stone!

a helpful tip should include a few more words

A lvl 100 does NOT take 36 arrows to fall, I just blew though 50 and it’s still kicking

Shoot tranqs at the head it will sleep fast

Can traverse any kind of environment. Seriously, this dude swims ridiculously fast and the roll mode can run over ANYTHING and ANYWHERE.

Pick him up with an argy and fly him from stone to stone and he’ll auto-harvest the stone. I’ve had moments when this worked every time I picked him up, but there are times he won’t do it at all.

This guy is not only a wonderful stone collector but also a wonderful protector for he of course killed the raptor that was holding me down and I have never had any Dino do that and I had a lot of Dinos

Seipe up to make it roll.Btw this roll can be used as an attack.I just learnt that.
