Tips & Strategies
Shoot for the head or tail with trans arrows and crossbow combo. When it rolls into a ball leave the area and keep an eye on them with a spy glass. Wait for it to start moving before approaching and shooting again. For high level ones, use a magnifying glass to check the torpor lvl while it's in ball form. Takes several rounds to get them knocked out. Don't waste your time trying to apply torpor while it's in a ball. Good luck.
More Doedicurus Taming & KO Tips
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.
Love these creatures! I got an ankylo as my first utility animal thinking it would get me a lot of stone, but this is guy is the way to go. I just did a run for stone on my island and got over 1,000 stone just from a few river rocks. And they were small. They arenβt bad at swimming either and I love the feature of the rolling! So cool
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 itβs balled up to tame fast like so people know
Donβt listen to ppl who say u need tranq darts if itβs high enough lvl it wonβt get low enough to curl in a ball so if it is a high lvl you can use tranq arrows freely:)
they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out
