ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
It'll poop 12 times before you can even finish 1 rock...
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 😊
Leave it on wander by your base with a tracker it will collet stone
Hello, this is my second tip after my argy tip, im gonna tell you how to easily tame it and what it was used for,
TAMING:
First you just need to prepare a weapon and the ammo and that was:
1. U can use an bow or crossbow with an Tranq Arrow for knocking it out
2. U can use an riffle with the ammo of Tranq dart
Or 3. U can just use a slingshot with rock as an ammo
After that you need to prepare a food and the food was berries or you can use kibble, and don't forget the narcotic/biotoxin for keep it unconcious
And you just need to find one
And after you find 1 just knock it out and feed it ( i recommended to hit it on head not on his Shell ) and after that just keep looking the unconcious bar if it reduce feed it with biotoxin or narcotic to keep it unconcious
And after it's tamed, tadaaaa you have an stone collector, this Dino is can used to get much of stone
And i think only that i was want to tell you
And sorry for the bad English cuz i am an indonesian

Use Net Projectile for prevent him to go ball mode. Probably only useful method on this comment section
Love these creatures! I got an ankylo as my first utility animal thinking it would get me a lot of stone, but this is guy is the way to go. I just did a run for stone on my island and got over 1,000 stone just from a few river rocks. And they were small. They aren’t bad at swimming either and I love the feature of the rolling! So cool
There’s a big open area near green obelisk, redwoods and swamp. If you are lucky you’ll find one. Beware though, spinos, rexes, raptors, carnos, barys, and theris are all relatively common around here. I’d recommend a good flyer or bruiser of your own if venturing here. Flak also helps.
They like to hang out near the mountains (island)
Don't bother putting in the speed when you can roll it
Just grab it with an argy and have your friend shoot it while in your claws.. stops it from rolling up, easy ko.
You can fit so much stone in this bad boy *slaps roof of Dino
This dino is underrated i got 3,000 stone in 10 mins w mine i swear they soo good plus if u have a tickle chicken then u can get wood and trikes, brontos etc get thatch so if ur like me and have a tickle chicken a bronto and a doedecrius then u can get everything u need to make a heavily fortified stone base in abt an hour u can have a 5 story house and a perimiter fence 5 walls high so not even rexes can get in only gigas or that enemy tribe that has rocket launchers lol
Tend to spawn all around the redwoods and usually a couple on the floating center. (Center map)
I see tons of these walking bowling balls all over aberration, and a lot of them are in the fertile lake area. If you see one, start shooting it in the head with tranq darts. Arrows do more damage but if you don’t have access to darts yet, you can use them. If you do end up using the arrows, wait 5 seconds before every shot to do max torpor with minimum damage. Once tamed these things can roll like a ball, gather stone like BONKERS, and have decent defense. Although, I still wouldn’t recommend attacking a rex with it. Overall, it is a good tame for early game stone gathering.
