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
Yo ca. Find them in the dessert
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
Love these creatures! I got an ankylo as my first utility animal thinking it would get me a lot of stone, but this is guy is the way to go. I just did a run for stone on my island and got over 1,000 stone just from a few river rocks. And they were small. They arenβt bad at swimming either and I love the feature of the rolling! So cool
You can trap this thing. It canβt fit through a 1x1 wooden doorway, but you can. Make a trap with ramps for it to get in and wooden doorways for walls for a quick escape. Wood foundation is enough. I tame doedicurus lvl 45 with a mix of tranq arrows, slingshot, and club. It rolled into a ball but it eventually unrolls. If you have a trap, you can be patient. If youβre low on metal/supplies or just want a stone base quickly, this is the tame for you. The tranq darts idea make sense to me, but I didnβt want to make so much gunpowder and metal ingots.
The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75% *BUMP*
They are excellent at getting stone, but they cant damage stone buildings..... im confused
Be sure to shoot the doedicurus on it's underside, not the shell, the shell only takes half torpor
Use a equus when itβs balled up to tame fast like so people know
