What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
very handy guys to have! A must tame!
These Dino are really helpful but there a pain in the butt to tame
Shoot it in the face, shooting it in the shell wont do very much torpor and would just be a waste. Also keep in mind that if you do too much damage it will ball up, not allowing you to tame it.
When trying to tame with regular/primitive bow or rifle it will probably go into a ball. Be patient and let it unroll out of the ball, let it take few steps then continue to shoot it in the head. Sure it take a long time and you need patience but it'll be worth it in the end. Or do it the easy way and have tribemate grab it with an argy and you shoot it in the belly.
If you do not have a flyer and tame on foot far warning....these guys DO NOT walk in a straight line. Took ages to get home lol
So to escape from the Dino you have to make a wall
So if you make a house it also helps tame it
But don’t make stairs so it can’t come up and kill you 😆
Tip: get this guy along with with an argentavis. For argentavis put every skill point into stamina and weight, for Doed go stamina melee and a bit of weight. The point is if doed gets encumbered you can load off to argent and get a bit more stone. Then pick up doed with your eagle and go back to base
I spent about 56 tranq darts and around 100 tranq arrows to knock out a level 140. Mainly because a lot of the darts and arrows were not registered as hits. I found the best place to aim at was the head I wouldn't waste my darts trying to hit the tail from above as they rarely registered. I had it trapped in a pit style trap so I was above it shooting down.
Use a good bow with toxic ant arrows for a lvl 450 it 40 arrows
If it is in ball mode, hit it in the face really low and it will go normal
Even if the health is low after it becomes unconscious, the ‘Taming Effectiveness’ timer is not nerfed or affected. I just tamed a 150 Doed on an ARKpocalypse server and it had 1/4 health at the start of taming. I fed it crops and I got the max bonus the chart promised!
Do not shoot him with tranq arrows if it's not over lvl 100 or it will ball up.
