ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

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.

First you bola, then shoot in the head. Shooting in the shell will lead to hundreds of wasted tranqs. Please up this so you donβt wast your time with an unneeded amount of narcotics.
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.
How does this break regular stone but stone walls donβt break?!?!Up if confused!
The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75% *BUMP*
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
Here are some useful tips if you're planning to tame one.
1=} Don't go for that one who aalready. It will roll into a ball and after that you can't do anything.
2=}Find a fresh Doedicurus. Wait for at least 3 sec before next hit.
3=}They can be found in redwood forest after a quiet search.
4=} You should have at least 6 wooden spiked walls, before start.
5=}Carry at least 2 Bow (or it's repairing stuff) if you're taming more that 50 lvl.
6=}Try to use bio toxin (can be obtain from Jelly Fish) instead of narcotics, it will take less than narcotics and also increase torpor more than that.
7=}Use Crops instead of berries to tame faster.
Use a equus when itβs balled up to tame fast like so people know
To long to tame?
Pick it up with an argy and drop it into a pen. Place a sleeping bag down and sleep when you wake up it will be starved. Then knock it out at your leisure. Hope this helps. βοΈSo the noobs can see
