Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Where to find them:
In ark mobile Dodecirus can be found in large numbers at the redwood forests at the top left of the map or the mountains.
Taming details:
Dodecirus are knockout tames and they eat berries
Problems:
They have armour on the top where they take less torpor so shoot their underside and if you damage it to much it will curl into a ball and it will be hard to knock them out and if you hit a Dodecirus all nearby Dodecirus will attack you
Advantages:
Dodecirus are slow so you dont need a mount to outrun them and you wont need a trap because it might not catch up to you.
Abilities when tamed:
Dodecirus will turn into a ball and roll really fast also they can destroy rocks,bushes and trees and gather their resources and they have a weight reduction on stone abd the saddle is unlocked at level 34 and made in the smithy.

More Doedicurus Taming & KO Tips
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
First you bola, then shoot in the head. Shooting in the shell will lead to hundreds of wasted tranqs.
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 canโt 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 thatโs 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 itโs balled up to tame fast
they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out
Since these spawn in the redwoods. I recommend that you check there if you want to tame one and if the redwoods are to harsh and dangerous, then take your argy and pick it up to a safe taming spot. Thatโs what I did
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. โ๏ธSo the noobs can see
Donโt listen to ppl who say u need tranq darts if itโs high enough lvl it wonโt get low enough to curl in a ball so if it is a high lvl you can use tranq arrows freely:)
