Tips & Strategies

When taming it, use stimberrys because it constantly eats it and it's taming goes up with it. After it has eaten them all put in the berries you have chose. However it does not increase the taming a lot, only a small bit at a time.

First you bola, then shoot in the head. Shooting in the shell will lead to hundreds of wasted tranqs.
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
How does this break regular stone but stone walls donβt break?!?!Up if confused!
So much misinformation here. Where to begin lol ok so as of Aug 2023, you can knock out w tranq arrows no problem, just go for level 80+ shoot in the head not the shell, wait 5 seconds between shots. You canβt bola them so ignore that comment. Creatures do not take torpor damage when they are caught by bear traps so ignore that comment too. Someone said to use biotoxin to keep them unconscious thatβs a terrible plan because these guys wake up pretty fast, and they take quite awhile to tame high levels. You want to use narcoberries because they take the longest to take effect, the time it takes to fill up all the way is invaluable compared to filling it up fast.
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
The bola does actually effect it, it makes it to where it cannot go into its shell and you can shoot it in the head with tranqs
they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out
Use Net Projectile for prevent him to go ball mode. Probably only useful method on this comment section
