This thing will take 100s of tranq arrows from a crossbow. Absolutely ridiculous
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.
It is a best to harvest obsidian from node use this guy on obsi and you get alot of obsi AND metal
They are pretty common on south tropical island (the center map) same goes for ankylos
Doedicurus is rated the best stone gatherer, but is not limited to only gathering stone through normal rocks. Metal rocks and crystal are also an excellent source of gathering stone.
If it is in its balled form would this make a better soaker than a turtle or a trike? Up if yes, down if no.
ONLY collects stone ONLY nothing else but stone
Sling shot can easily knock out this if you cant have dart
Tranquillizing these is the best way to waste your arrows or darts. Just hit them with a pickaxe up if you tried and worked -Drax
I have noticed something...... using tranq arrows dont work... you hit them with ur pickaxe 😂😂😂
I found some in the mountains, maybe they spawn mainly on the mountain.
I’m a mobile.
Guys when it balls up all u have to do is shoot under it where u can still see its under then it will un ball your welcome 😌😌
Your looking at the best Stone, Obsidian, and maybe Metal Collecter on Ark.
You should use soothing bom CUSE uh mine woke up when I did not do it so ya USE SOTHING BOM
Best tame to collect obsidian in mobile version. It also gather stone and metal from the obsidian.
You can tranq it when it is,curled up.
They collect more obsidian than the anky on mobile not sure if they can colect obsidian on other platforms tho.
Have at least 150 narcotics with u
When the doedic takes enough damage they will roll up but their is a place to hit it's underbelly
If you thinking taming one is tough and need lot of narcotics. No they don’t . Its easy
1) first you have to trap then in an enclosed structure using any flyer.
2) then you have to craft a bed aside and go for a sleep
3) after u woke up knock then and feed them…
