Doedics don't actually get on as Indian from obsidian rocks, I've tested it multiple times. So why is it #1 for gathering obsidian?
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.
Do a Barrel Roll!
Most fun I've had on a dino to date. Lvl up emote is hilarious. Roll gives fast movement to get around or away
Worth every painful second of taming lol gathers insane amounts of stone. Bring a pack Dino though. Their weight is crap
This Dino doesn't gather obsidian so use ankylosaurus
On PS4 the Doedicurus will NOT collect obsidian, it will only gather stone from obsidian nodes.
Watch out, the Doedicurus does not collect Obsidian anymore
Air for legs and face. Make sure to wait 4 to 5 seconds between shots. After done taming make sure to remove any left over kibble. Or it will eat it all quick to recover health.
Fertilizer. This thing is s pop machine. Put in some berries and use it a bit and you are swimming in pop.
Great tame to do
Very easy to care for and the stone collection is amazing so worth waiting the take time for :)
This cute ameridilo is the king of collecting obisidan and stone works good with the anklyo for getting sparkpowder
Rain it on stim berries at first lvl 55 290 stun berries the force feed it 400 narco berries this triples the torp time now put 300 majo berries in and 400 stim go and do what ever you want and this will time it's self with no effort I switched off and logged on the next…

The weight and melee damage are a problem, but it overall is a good Dino.
Not only is the doedic great for stone and obsidian but it's also a better war tame than the turtle since it can curl up into a ball and take reduced damage. Just drop one or more in and you're good
Does the dodic actually get obsidian because when i tryed on a pvp scorched it collected none
Great for farmbg stone, but it seems like IT doesnt gather any Metall (or mine is broke(app says Metall 3.9))
Rolls i if taken too much damage, mine survived 3 allos and one carno...the hust,walked away, bored.
Doedic do not farm obsidian anymore.
Leave it on wander and it will smash stone
Crucial to any stone gathering. Cut your farm time in half easily. Upgrade weight, melee with either speed/Stamina as a last consideration.
- Must have Dino for building stone structures for this is the best way to gather stone in the game
- if you build a large enough pen that has a rock spawn in it, you can set the doed on wonder (only Dino to do so) and it will collect stone for you until weight is full

- Great for raiding as once it falls below 30% hp it takes 90% reduced damage and torpor great for taking turret fire
