Use tranq darts not arrows very hard to knock out at a low level
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.
I don‘t know why so many people say that the doedicurus can‘t gather obsidian...today i noticed: he can...and way better than the ankylo...on obsidian rocks next to the volcano (the island). Probably after a patch i didn‘t realize
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
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.
While carrying with argentavis hover over rocks and they will automatically Harvest stone.
It’s NOT SIMPLE!! It’s REGULAR KIBBLE!!
Can shoot anywhere for KO underbelly and head have no multiplier and shell doesnt half torpor
You don’t need a saddle for them just pick them up with an argentavis and fly them through rocks they will harvest them on there own
Aim for the head when taming. That way they take 90% torpor
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…

These creature is good for stone but I wish the creator of doedicurus upgrades the rolling of it because it goes in a straight line you can't move it left to right if you ride it and make it roll so I hope they upgrade the rolling control of doedicurus.
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…

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)
Anyone else understand why it's faster in water than it's bigger relative, the Carbenymas I mean. (yet the carbon is built for swimming while the doedic is not)?
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
Realy useful for collecting obsidian althought this app says it doesnt collect it anymore
