Tips & Strategies

What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
With the new move to location ability you can tell them to go to a rock and if they have under half weight they will auto-harvest stone...i just have a couple on click to move them then i ride a beaver with few more beavers following him (its better to not have the beavers on click to move because they will get in the way) then most of the time im just moving stone from dodic to beaver...dont have to manually harvest...you can even put the beavers on wonder and follow and they will collect wood and thatch passively whole time...persknally i just take my highest attack beaver around after all the stone in area is gone instead of womder trick because most of the beavers are default attack
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.
IVE GONE TO THE REDWOODS 10 TIMES AND WHAT HAVE I FOUND?!? MURDER CATS AND REXES THATS WHAT. ANY DOEDICS? NO!!! THEY ARE NOT COMMON AROUND HERE AT ALL
If you need stone, I highly recommend getting a Doedicurus tamed. It's the best stone farmer and reduces the weight of stone by a lot.
Apparently, you can have the Doedicurus farm stone in the air if you pick it up with a Argentavis. Haven't tested it, but that's what my brother told me. Take it with a grain of salt.
It can get around 400-500 stone per swing (although now that I think about it today is the weekend and isn't there like weekend events for Increased harvest?)
Abilities That I know: Roll, you can start rolling in a direction, uses a little stamina, but decently quick for a Doedicurus. Then there's the main hit, for hitting stone, and atleast wild ones curl up in a ball and I would assume take less damage.
I got my first Doedicurus recently, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Bring back up tranq arrows if you run out of tranq darts. I spent 116 tranq darts trying to knock one of these guys out and ran out quickly and didn't knock it out,
I tamed one level 5, crossbow and around 13 tranq arrows, make sure to not hit the shell and time between the hits so he heals a little and torpor increases.
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!
If you do not have kibble and have to crop tame.... use carrots. Same taming efficiency but takes less time.
If you have cheats or slot of time PUMP move speed to Max and you are a bowling ball
The doey DOES get obsidian. It sucks for metal tho
On PS5 you cannot feed the equus when mounted for whatever reason, if you press triangle again you dismount it doesn’t let you feed or if you press L1+left on the d-pad you eat the carrot yourself and you don’t feed the carrot to the equus? I’ve had to go into creative mode and forcetame one to actually have one. Not sure if it’s a bug but just letting it be known.
Yo ca. Find them in the dessert
