i threw a boomerang at it for a minute while walking backwords and that worked

Their torpor does not go down fast, it’s just really hard to keep its torpor up. Like so people see

He is so annoying to knock out!

Use Net Projectile for prevent him to go ball mode. Probably only useful method on this comment section

⭐ yes, tranq him in the face and if they chase you, back peddle and keep aiming for the face, if they turn and flee, try to run along side it and aim for the underbelly... if it curls into a ball, crouch in a bush or something and wait for it to uncurl... definitely a necessary mid game creature to capture for building with stone...

A lot of these spawn at the northern part of the redwoods and also in north zone 2 quite a bit

Since these spawn in the redwoods. I recommend that you check there if you want to tame one and if the redwoods are to harsh and dangerous, then take your argy and pick it up to a safe taming spot. That’s what I did

Walking through the jungle looking for an argey to tame and I came across a cobalt blue doedic. Not sure is that is normal, but since I never see many true blue dinos I though he was very pretty…probably should tame it lol

It takes 9 kibble for 145 sorry

A trap really isn’t needed, as it runs very slowly. Would recommend using an argentavis (if available) to pick it up and take it to a safer spot. Tranq darts and tranq arrows work just fine.

You can't bola them. Don't shoot tranq in the shell cause it's a huge waste

An easy way to tame is to use a net gun. It will prevent the Doedicurus from balling up and removes the need for a pen of any kind.

These are actually decent swimmers, I swam to the island from herb island no problem. (Im also on mobile) They also have an underwater attack, if you swipe up on your left screen side, it will do a bite attack and it actually works.

These guys could shell themselves up and so it’s harder to kill them lol

Shoot for the head or tail with trans arrows and crossbow combo. When it rolls into a ball leave the area and keep an eye on them with a spy glass. Wait for it to start moving before approaching and shooting again. For high level ones, use a magnifying glass to check the torpor lvl while it's in ball form. Takes several rounds to get them knocked out. Don't waste your time trying to apply torpor while it's in a ball. Good luck.

They gather tons of nameless venom on fjördor

Just go to the abberant cave at around 54 84 and hit the slimy looking rocks

If you are looking to get stone fast try to tame a doedicurus for fast and easy stone

Tranq darts are ideal, though tranq arrows work fine as well as long as the creature is at full health. It's relatively slow, so you can score some easy shots on foot, though it's adviseable that you aim for the head and nowhere else. They'll take less torpor when shot anywhere else.

Also, bring a good amount of narcotics or biotoxins to keep their torpor up until it's all tamed up.

Use tranq arrows if u don’t have darts then just whack with a wooden club when it’s curled up in a ball

I was flying my pteranodon, and i saw a lvl 27 rex pick on one of these lil cuties. He curled up into a ball, and took no damage, so combined with its mining capabilities, this lil guy is perfect for the mountains, as they have incredible defense, and mining capabilities.
