Swipe up on mobile to do a rolling move, it consumes stamine every second that you roll. Just for found when i accidentally swiped my screen
Doedicurus
The Doedicurus is an armored, armadillo-like herbivore prized for gathering and carrying stone. When threatened, it curls into a remarkably well-protected ball.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Super good at collecting stone. I recommend using a bear trap and building a structure around it to make gaming easier. They’re also pretty cute 🤣
Just ignore those saying that you should shoot them into head or tail. Shooting into shell deals the same torpor as long as they are not curled up. This is why dododex gives only one value on numbers of darts or arrows needed, and no extra value for head or tail.
I found it is best to use a nets gun to immobilize
Then tranq and then kibble
Take one of these guys and pick it up with an Argentavis. Hover over rocks and let the Doedi swing away for quick stone farming. Up melee damage for quicker farming
They have an alternate attack when swimming. Instead of rolling in the water they bite. The bite can be used to gather stone and if you're in a body of water with a lot of rocks you can get an excessive amount of stone faster than on land because you don't have to sit…

When trying to automatically farm stone with the doed, make sure wandering is enabled and that it isn’t following anything.
With this, you can also carry it using an argentavis to farm stone easily.

What really confuses me is that its known for gathering stone but it cant hurt stone structures
I found a orange one right by the sea . it fought a Rex and even the Rex
could not kill it cause it turned into a ball
Even though they have armor, they look weak, but they sure aren’t! Don’t mess with this guy!
Shoot it anywhere you like as it is a myth that you must target it’s legs head or belly. The shell provides the doedi zero protection while not balled up and thus no reduction to torpor gain until it curls up into a ball. Don’t believe the widespread don’t hit the shell BS.
I was taming a level three and needed lots of narcotics so bring them
Gathers more element dust from lamps and stuff than any Dino I’ve tested
In extinction im pretty sure they have a gather boost for element dust
Whenever the doedicurus is moving and gets near a rock, it will collect stone automatically
they do not collect metal but are very good at getting stone
Build a taming pen......trust me.
If you don't have an argy, get a few sleeping bags and spike walls and go to redwoods. Make sure to have a weapon since you might have to fight Carnos and other creatures while it tames. Up for others to see!
I just drop this guy by a rocky spot right by my base and set her on wander (and attack target in case he needs to defend herself) and she runs around collecting rock! Then I pick her up with my argey and bring her to a storage box in my base so I can transfer the rock then I…
