Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

I found that the best bet to take one down and tame is to run around in a 8 foot circle continuously shooting it in its feet and or head with a dart gun. Super easy and fast. By the end it'll ball up and you can then focus its under shell by aiming your shots. Narcotics are a must and so is dilo kibble.

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
How does this break regular stone but stone walls donβt break?!?!Up if confused!
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
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
An easy way to tame is to use a net gun. It will prevent the Doedicurus from balling up and removes the need for a pen of any kind.
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
Use a equus when itβs balled up to tame fast like so people know
When taming and it balls up, it will unball when it poops, but will still have the 90% damage reduction until it starts moving again. Just be patient and wait for it to move, it is not glitches.
