One cool think I found out is if you carry a tamed one with your Argy, hover over rocks and it will gather stone while being carried.. A damn hovering bulldozer💪.. (oh, same goes for Castroides and wood)
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.
Torpor rate actually slower than most now
On Ark Mobile, at least, Argies can pick tamed ones up and they’ll auto mine stone when you fly near rocks, making it a great combo for when you have both of them and don’t want to waste durability of your hatchet.
Long tame but 100% worth getting one. Essential honestly.
Earlier I was on ARK Mobile. I have a massive wall around my base so my creatures can walk around in it. I went to my Doedicurus to put a saddle on it when I discovered it had almost 1300 stone in its inventory. Doedicurus when wandering autonomously destroy rocks to collect…

Doeds are pretty tanky dinos. Make sure to bring WAY more darts or tranq arrows then Dododex suggests. Also run in circles with it since it's not fast enough to catch-up to you.
River rocks 🪨 (shallow water rocks - looks small and bit smooth edged) gives more rocks then any other rocks... I just found this now
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.
A must pet as they are really good for gathering stone and they can also get some thatch and wood,and they have balanced and good stats
I lost my 178 tranq arrows, 2 crossbows, 3 longbows due to a glitch in this thing
IF HELD BY AN ARGENTAVIS, IT CAN BE USED AS A WRECKING BALL IF YOU SLOW DOWN NEWR ROCKS!!!!!!
I wish the anky could do that; but at the same time, I’m glad that it cannot. It would be too OP.
Personally I dont think that 22 minutes is a short time vote up if you want the torpor drop rate lowered to average
Space out the tranq arrows so it doesn’t ball up I say every 5 seconds blow up for noobs
They are most found climbing the mountains near carno island. But be wary of allosaurus packs
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…

-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 😊
So ur telling me wildcard that this can damage wood builds but harvests stone we player’s got arked again
If you take a snow owl you can heal it when it balls up. Once it's health is up it will come out of the ball and you can continue to tranquilize it.
Have a mate pick it up with an Argy then as they hover above you you can shoot it in the underside and knock it out much quicker. Bring Regular Kibble or it's a SLOW tame!
When leveling it up go for melee and weight only
Generally found wherever Argys are.
