What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Find one of these stony boys. Make sure you have plenty of Tranq arrows, At least 20 tranq arrows or more (Depends on the level). Shoot at the head, don't shoot the body because it has a protective layer of shell and it will lead to a lot of tranq arrows wasted. When it's knocked out, Fill its inventory with berries. After a while, you'll have one of these boys! (Note: You can use a bola if affective but DON'T when it not affective) Hope this helps :)
If you get him to low health the coward hides in its shell
Its a very easy tame just keep going backwards and keep shooting it. It wont hit you because its so slow
Place large bear trap to knock out easily. Give soothing paste then berries.
Pro tip: freeze with snow owl before shooting incase it was damaged before or use tranq darts. The reason why?.. if it balls up… Just go find another one because they bug out and after they unball they won’t go down no matter how many times you tranq it.
Can trick out of shell if healed with snow owl 😎
So apparently you can’t force feed them while they starve you have to let them eat it by themselves while you put the food into their inventory. I wasted 9 regular kibble by doing so.
Shoot it while you have the chance! Once they are in their shell, it's next to impossible to tame! Once tame is the best at getting stone and flint. Must have for any stone thirsty tribe. Good luck out there survivors! -Nova charm
Have lots of nacos near.
Essential tame. When it's in its shell, knocking it out seems almost impossible.
These guys need triple tranq arrows/darts than what it says because I was trying to tame a lvl 55 and I needed 40 tranq darts and 31 tranq arrows. Be Wary!
To make it NOT GO IN ITS SHELL just use tranq arrows and make sure to bring at least 30 tranq arrows.
Why do these things ball up, but not also try to roll you flat?
