What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I knocked one out using my mantis whilst it was holding scissors. It knocked a lvl 160 doedicurus out in 2 hits. It works, I guess
When it goes into its ball mode, it is regaining it's health and takes reduced damage and torpor. So use boomerang or horse to knock it out they do torpor quick. And when you do get it knocked put spikes around it because it gets targeted by all carnivores.
To tame quickly use an argy and pick up the doedi then place it on your taming pen and make a 1x1 house (if its daytime) and place a sleeping bag inside then sleep and then when you woke up use tranq darts or arrow then make it unconscious and look at the doedi hunger bar if its 0% place a soothing balm (if you have one) then feed it berries or crops (i recommend crops for fast tame) and the taming process will be fast as flash that you didn't even need to wait for hours to tame it, it will just in few minutes to tame and don't even need narcotics (The down side of this technique is the taming effectiveness goes down to 45% so you'll lose 55% of taming effectiveness)
Net with netgun before tranqing to stop him balling up saving you darts
If he goes into his ball form wait until he's out of the ball. He will recieve 90% less torpor when he is in ball form. So don't waste your tranq's!
This guy is super easy to knock out you dont need nets or anything super fancy just a prim rifle and at least 40 or more tranqs to be safe. depending on your rates. You will need a bunch of narcotics or none in my case because who tf is gonna wait 3+ hours for a dino to tame when you can just chuck the taming rate to 7.5x (3x plus singleplayer settings on)
Do not use Dilo kibble to tame, May 2019 tried using Dilo kibble was only getting 0.1% per kibble
If you make it roll into a ball don’t worry pull an owl out and heal it, it will stand up and you can tranq it.
It’s NOT SIMPLE!! It’s REGULAR KIBBLE!!
Aim for the head when taming. That way they take 90% torpor
Torpor drains a bit slower than this shows. Be sure to check it and not reply on thr timer
I had to peg this Dino at least 25 times with tranq darts in its hind legs, so simple tip agro it with a tough Dino in passive, then tranq till it’s down
Bring a lot of arrows or darts to tame. I'm taming a level 48 and he's curled up in a ball 3 times. When he's curled up keep hitting with a club/boomerang/electric prod depends how far you are in the game
