Tips & Strategies

So, they’re pretty easy tames. High torpor, and very little narcotics. So, they’re easy to tame before you get the saddle! Now most people would think, ugh, can’t use it until the saddle! Others would say, if I put it on wander it will gather some stone for me. You know what I would do? I would put it to wander, then whistle it to follow me, then whistle it to stop once I was next to a rock. Then repeat. Once you’re done put it off wander and where you want it. Super easy and efficient and because of the weight reduction the rock almost weigh nothing in its inventory!
More Doedicurus Utility Tips
There’s a way to fully lock a wild doed in place (or atleast on UME)
1; Get plant species Z fruit
2: find a doed
3: Hit the doed until it enters its shell
4: throw the fruit at it, it will become confused and “leave the shell” but technically still in it. The game becomes confused as its ment to be in the shell and it is and not at the same time, so it stays immobile.
The one i hit is still there.
Equip your Doedicurus with a saddle, pick it up with an Argentavis and fly near rocks as it automatically harvests the stone as you fly. Level up the melee damage to harvest more stone with each swing. Level up your Argentavis’ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.
