murder it or tame by rifle and tranq darts
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.
These guys automatically hit rocks so if you let it wander it will collect rocks and this is amazing
I was easily ablento knock this out with a horse I tamed with a few points thrown into damage. I think it took about 14 kicks :D
I’ve seen them frequently spawn on the coast across from dead island. Just watch out because Rexes and other dangerous Dinosaurs can spawn there.
Can gather obsidian on mobile twice as much as an anky as well as metal from obsidian rocks
Tranq in the face, don't wait too long between shots or he balls up and stays like that for a really long time. Boost weight and melee damage
Wild dinos cant kill them as they lose interest when they curl up, therefore they are early game reapers but can be killed by tames. They arent hidden but can carry more than a purlovia
Essential for all tiers. Making taming traps / bullet grinding .
Turrets don’t get filled without one of these guys around
Do take this into the tek cave, DO
If you are carrying him on an argy he will auto collect till he is half weight
Be sure to have an argy because they are the earlyest thame that can carry these
Can't break stone walls?? But other than that great stone collectors
Best for harvesting element dust
If you don't have them darts and all u got is a bow and tranq arrows, I suggest using a higher grade bow or crossbow if u can if u can't get the tranq darts

I don’t know if anyone else has realized but these things are absolute gods for cave explorations. The gigantopithecus is good for all of them but arctic cave explorations. The doedicurus can simply roll over fodder for its xp right into your unfound dossiers and needed artifact. Once I took out an entire cave in under five minutes with one of these badasses. They’re fast, tanky, insane atk, good knockback, and extremely agile. They’re even faster in water just so yall know. These also have high torpor. Mine is level 228 and we went into lava cave and absolutely destroyed EVERYTHING. Every single thing. EVERYTHING. These are medium weight mules high atk and hp tanks and insane racers they’ve got good Stam too. It’s insane how good they are.
I’m taming one rn. So I usin a scorp(y’all may think it’s trash but it can knock shît out and like all tamed bugs it will not make creatures Aggro except of course Titans(not sneks) and Alphas possibly gigas.) and I came down to where it was at 16/1020 hp and I was mid…

When it rolls up crouch and then shoot its belly
A doed, an anky, and a beaver can get u gunpowder in no time.
This combined with an anky will give u a lifetime of sparkpowder. Just use berries as fuel.
If you are taming it with friends, all shoot at the same time so you can do as much torpor as you can before it rolls up because when it does it only takes 10% torpor
