What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The obsidian gathering on the doedic is broken it will not gather obsidian.
For some reason on the island, there is always one lonely doedic at the edge of the forest(not redwoods) and the snow biome. I feel so bad for it because the only other dinos are sabers, scorpions, argies, raptors, rexes, and allos( all which try to eat it at the same time)
If your taming a herbavor use stimberries at first so it drops hunger but does not decreases torpor and then put in the food to do a quick starve tame
In PvE it is best to lead one to a tame boat or pin because they are usually surrounded by dangerous Dino's.
I found that the best bet to take one down and tame is to run around in a 8 foot circle continuously shooting it in its feet and or head with a dart gun. Super easy and fast. By the end it'll ball up and you can then focus its under shell by aiming your shots. Narcotics are a must and so is dilo kibble.
Doesn't collect obsidian like it says. Gets a lot of stone from obsidian rocks tho
Be careful on tranq dart/arrow usage, aim for the underbelly for maximum torpor effect. When it rolls up into a ball, attempt to shoot the underbelly again, and again, and again, so on. Found near Redwoods (Island) and great for obtaining rocks, and only rocks. Essential for constructing stone structures.
