What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If youre on scorched earth use a boomerang, I knocked a lv 50 out in less than 2 minutes
Don't use a taming pen as it makes headshots near impossible. Drop it near your base and backpedal while shooting darts into its face.
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)
The easiest way to hunger an animal is by sleeping it out. Capture and wait till night,sleep than tranq it.This apply in mobile I'm not sure for pc or console. Good luck.
Use a slingshot walk backwards and shoot it u will need about 40 stones its a simple tame
To tame these guys easy enough. Use an argie to throw them in a tame trap using door frames and maybe a Dino door. Then shoot them with tranq darts and longneck rifle.
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 have found that a few spawn in consistent at the Red Wood Forest.
When harmed, it will swing its spiky tail at whomever is attacking it. If the Doedicurus is harmed more than it could take, it will curl into a hard ball made of keratin, which is used to protect itself and fend off enemies. It will also, when tamed, roll through its enemies as another special attack. They are also great when you are in need of lots of stone 👍.
On Ragnarok, I have seen them mostly in the black volcanic zone. There are a lot of dangerous animals that you should keep a distance with. Mostly mantis, Spider, and centipedes. I have seen rexes, carnos, and raptor there too.
If the Deodic balls up when tranqing it, stop. The tranqs will not work while its balled up.
