I kill him with bow
How to tame properly
It gather very lot of element dust from lamp on extinction. I ever saw someone attacking defense unit corpse with this guy, then he give up and use his metal pick. What a nub, he thought he can gather an element from a corpse. It gather 700+ element from lamp with only 1 swing. Try on
Well I was shooting with darts in the head and still rolled in to a ball and afther he came out I shot 200 darts in the head still nothing so I left it it was a 145
It's tamable under lvl 30 and ridable under 40.
For both MOBILE & PC
1) You'll find them the most in redwood area. Use a doedicurus location map from google.
2) craft wooden spike wall x4, tranq arrows & some narcotics.
3) use ptera (safest & fastest) or any other mount.
4) whistle your tame and set it to passive. knock one doedy using a tranq arrow. Shoot them in the head or tail. They can't run fast so you will be safe.
5) after it gets knocked place the spike walls around it.
6) feed kibble.
DONE
I see tons of these walking bowling balls all over aberration, and a lot of them are in the fertile lake area. If you see one, start shooting it in the head with tranq darts. Arrows do more damage but if you don’t have access to darts yet, you can use them. If you do end up using the arrows, wait 5 seconds before every shot to do max torpor with minimum damage. Once tamed these things can roll like a ball, gather stone like BONKERS, and have decent defense. Although, I still wouldn’t recommend attacking a rex with it. Overall, it is a good tame for early game stone gathering.

I would discribe the doedicurus as: they see me rollin
Pretty slow so just walk back and if they get close enough to atk U will already be out of their range and aim for head (if it's a low lvl U might have to use tranq darts)
Have a friend pick one up and hold it with an argy while you tranq it. Can’t ball up and your shooting it from underneath anyway. Or, you can use a longneck and tranq darts to knock them out before they even take enough damage to ball up in the first place.
I flew around on my argey looking for one on the closest mountain (the one in the redwoods) and found one within a minute, scooped it up and went back home then put it in a trap then I took a nap so that it starves so it would tame faster.
2 tranq arrows to the head with a compound bow and it was out cold. I’m feeding it rn with mejoberries and it took literally 30 seconds to tame
