Tips & Strategies
When your in the south and your looking for one just start going north and light one up with traqs and I recommend using crops or dilo kibble or for PC reg kibble they level up kinda fast
[Colt] [Im on mobile btw] Please like so ppl can see :D
On the island they spawn in redwoods!let people know!
Do not use this to get metal only stone
It's tamable under lvl 30 and ridable under 40.
For both MOBILE & PC
1) You'll find them the most in redwood area. Use a doedicurus location map from google.
2) craft wooden spike wall x4, tranq arrows & some narcotics.
3) use ptera (safest & fastest) or any other mount.
4) whistle your tame and set it to passive. knock one doedy using a tranq arrow. Shoot them in the head or tail. They can't run fast so you will be safe.
5) after it gets knocked place the spike walls around it.
6) feed kibble.

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
I’ve found multiple of them in front of the swamp at 72, 61 if that helps anyone
Shoot the head as you walk backwards away from it, then run next adjacent to it when it runs away.
If you ever see a high level blue doed, grab it up with your argy! I was able to get a 290 mating pair this way. Usually the pretty ones are so low level.
The bola does actually effect it, it makes it to where it cannot go into its shell and you can shoot it in the head with tranqs
(Ragnarock) I find constant flows of 150 Doeds around 18,55 in the highlands next to the volcano! Hope this helps people.
I think they are broken rn. I was taming a 140 put 100 tranq arrows in it with a 218 damage crossbow. And it’s the second one in a row that did that to me. Like after they go into their shell and then come back out they don’t move. They are broken.
Where to find them:
In ark mobile Dodecirus can be found in large numbers at the redwood forests at the top left of the map or the mountains.
Taming details:
Dodecirus are knockout tames and they eat berries
Problems:
They have armour on the top where they take less torpor so shoot their underside and if you damage it to much it will curl into a ball and it will be hard to knock them out and if you hit a Dodecirus all nearby Dodecirus will attack you
Advantages:
Dodecirus are slow so you dont need a mount to outrun them and you wont need a trap because it might not catch up to you.
Abilities when tamed:
Dodecirus will turn into a ball and roll really fast also they can destroy rocks,bushes and trees and gather their resources and they have a weight reduction on stone abd the saddle is unlocked at level 34 and made in the smithy.

Do not shoot it in the tail! I dropped it in my taming pen and was about 5 shots in when I realized it doesn't register at ALL.
These things are actually easy to tame! First, Let's pack some things.
- Large bear traps (If possible)
-Tranq arrows (Bring at least 20 or more, You can replace arrows with darts or shocking darts)
-Narotics or biotoxins (Bring 50 or more of them)
-Taming foods (Preferred kibble is Dilophosaurus kibble or Regular Kibble. If using berries bring at least 100 if not using sooting balm, Recommended with sooting balm to tame.)
-Argentavis with saddle (Optional)
Taming without Argy (Argentavis):
First, find one of these animals.
Then place the large bear trap down and get it to aggro on you.
After it gets trapped, shoot the head, don't shoot the body because it has a protective layer of shell that could lead to many tranq arrows wasted.
After it's knock out, Give it its preferred kibbles or berries,Using sooting balm can decrease the time needed to tame. Remember to keep an eye on its torpor, Feed narotics or biotoxins if necessary and protect it while it's being tamed.
Wait for a while, then you'll get one of these! Ride it if you have the saddle, or just bring it base and goodluck keeping it safe on the way to your base!
Taming with Argy:
First, build a taming pen with a material which doedicurus can't damage.
Then, Find one of them and pick them up with your argy and fly back to your taming pen and drop it.
Then, Shoot its heady and not the body like I've mentioned before.
When it's knocked out, Feed it its preferred kibble or berries, sooting balm is recommended like I've mentioned.
Wait for a while, You'll get it soon. Remember to keep an eye on its torpor too and feed it narotics or biotoxins if necessary! Bring it to your base with your argy if you want.
Thanks 😊
