These things mainly spawn in redwoods.
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.
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.
When it swings its tail at you, it will sometimes lift up its backside, exposing its belly... Time your shots and you can hit the soft underbelly for max torpor.
Tame using darts. They don’t take damage so they don’t curl up into a ball when you shoot them with the darts and you just need to dodge it’s swings when it Agros on to you.
They no longer harvest obsidian, just stone. Not sure if they changed it with the new patch, but tried to collect obsidian in the Center with him and all I got was stone.
In crystal isles they get gobs of organic polymer from the giant bee cave
You will encounter them in the snow, redwoods, and mountains.
Really fun to roll around on.
They can not gather metal
Tranq arrows are fine, shoot in the face, walk backwards and continue shooting in the face, if you can shoot the underside when he turns, then go ahead. It is a little difficult to time that however. When it starts to run away from you, just keep in front of it and keep…
Tranq arrows are fine, shoot in the face, walk backwards and continue shooting in the face, if you can shoot the underside when he turns, then go ahead. It is a little difficult to time that however. When it starts to run away from you, just keep in front of it and keep shooting it in the face. If for any reason it rolls up into a ball, let it go and find another one. If you are intent on taming it, put a structure around it to keep it safe, then sit by it for about 45 minutes to an hour, it will heal faster if you are within render of it. Leveling up the melee allows it to collect more rock with each swipe of the tail. If you are so low, put most of it in weight and some in melee, this will allow you to collect more with less trips. If you have a tribemate, and you are using a Quetzal or a skiff, then only level melee.
Do not use this to get metal only stone
It's a longer tame for new players, but can make getting your first behemoth gates up so much easier, and stone is a useful resource for most of the early-mid game
On the island they spawn in redwoods!let people know!
I’ve found multiple of them in front of the swamp at 72, 61 if that helps anyone
Here are some useful tips if you're planning to tame one.
1=} Don't go for that one who aalready. It will roll into a ball and after that you can't do anything.
2=}Find a fresh Doedicurus. Wait for at least 3 sec before next hit.
3=}They can be found…

3=}They can be found in redwood forest after a quiet search.
4=} You should have at least 6 wooden spiked walls, before start.
5=}Carry at least 2 Bow (or it's repairing stuff) if you're taming more that 50 lvl.
6=}Try to use bio toxin (can be obtain from Jelly Fish) instead of narcotics, it will take less than narcotics and also increase torpor more than that.
7=}Use Crops instead of berries to tame faster.
Rock man can roll
Rock man excels at getting rock
Rock man decent swimmer do not recommend though
Love Rock man
I’ve seen a lot of tips on harvesting obsidian and metal of people complaining how they get only stone from harvesting it and that’s because the doedic only harvests stone
Doedicurus will now automatically attack stone rocks. Easily fly them close to the ground or have it wandering in a enclosed rocky field, and this little dude will smash away!
(Ragnarock) I find constant flows of 150 Doeds around 18,55 in the highlands next to the volcano! Hope this helps people.
Just wait 5 seconds between shots also tame low level not high.
I have 158 sonic which gives 100 stone per rock approx and 14 rocky gets 80 per rock so not much of a difference
