Tips & Strategies
Easy tame, just shoot in the face with tranq arrows and when it curls in a ball shoot it’s side, either build a 2x2 fence around it while it’s unconscious, or bring your hunting pack with you for protection.
They’re hard to find, but I staked one out with my pteradon at a reasonably close distance from my base, she was chilling on the beach but a couple raptors were hanging around keeping her hostage in a little ball.
I went back, got my hunting crew (2 therizinos, 1 Carno, and 11 dilos) absolutely DEMOLISHED multiple therizinos, barys, spinos, and countless dilos/ raptors on the way, made it to the little doed, tranqed her, and now I have myself a mini stone farmer:)
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 can’t 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 that’s 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
I kill him with bow
How to tame properly
Use a equus when it’s balled up to tame fast
they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out
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. ☝️So the noobs can see
Don’t listen to ppl who say u need tranq darts if it’s high enough lvl it won’t get low enough to curl in a ball so if it is a high lvl you can use tranq arrows freely:)
