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 attack about to kill it when the hit was too far and it didn’t hit and then I tried again and it got knocked out and hit failed lol.

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

When trying to knock it out, use an owl to freeze heal it and it will come out of its shell. This makes knocking it out so much faster and easier.

its the worst to tame with just a crossbow and some tranq arrows

On Prim Plus you can give them fresh Barely instead of Kibble (last time I tired 3-24-2019)

Essential for farming element dust from structures such as lampposts and benches on Extinction, ^ vote to spread the word!

It can farm massive elementdust, cristal and electronics at extinction on tables and lanterns on the Sanctuarys. Best dino for that. Skill meeleedamage for massive more efficiency!

Use on extinction to gather element dust and crystal from lamp posts and tables. If you have a crab (argy or quetz also work) you can quickly solo run ele dust (I got about 15k in an hour on 1x). You just have to put the doedicurus on wander and carry him near a lamp with your other tame. Make sure you empty him every 2-3 swings or he will overencumber on crystal and won't swing automatically any more. Of course he also cannot be on follow or he won't auto swing either.

If you carry this with an argentavis, quetzal, wyvern, or karkinos, it will swing and gather stone when in front of a rock until it is encumbered. Upvot3 for everyone to see!
