Tips & Strategies

What are tips for doedicurus? Tips and strategies for doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you need stone, I highly recommend getting a Doedicurus tamed. It's the best stone farmer and reduces the weight of stone by a lot.
Apparently, you can have the Doedicurus farm stone in the air if you pick it up with a Argentavis. Haven't tested it, but that's what my brother told me. Take it with a grain of salt.
It can get around 400-500 stone per swing (although now that I think about it today is the weekend and isn't there like weekend events for Increased harvest?)
Abilities That I know: Roll, you can start rolling in a direction, uses a little stamina, but decently quick for a Doedicurus. Then there's the main hit, for hitting stone, and atleast wild ones curl up in a ball and I would assume take less damage.
I got my first Doedicurus recently, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Bring back up tranq arrows if you run out of tranq darts. I spent 116 tranq darts trying to knock one of these guys out and ran out quickly and didn't knock it out,
You can no longer carry them with argent. I had to ride mine to my base in the southern islets. I also had to go with my argent and pteranodon flying behind me. Not fun.
If you do not have kibble and have to crop tame.... use carrots. Same taming efficiency but takes less time.
On PS5 you cannot feed the equus when mounted for whatever reason, if you press triangle again you dismount it doesn’t let you feed or if you press L1+left on the d-pad you eat the carrot yourself and you don’t feed the carrot to the equus? I’ve had to go into creative mode and forcetame one to actually have one. Not sure if it’s a bug but just letting it be known.

————————————
Stats:
Health: 450 to 1250
Attack: 12 to 90
Speed: 5 mph
Behavior: doedicuruses will stay peaceful, but if attacked, they will aggro on you. No, they don’t bring their buddies.
Taming: I recommend making a trap that is 2x2 for the ground, and 1 wall high, and a ramp on the outside. Put a ladder inside, to escape.
Steps of taming:
1: find a doedic
2: lead the doedicurus into the trap
3: climb out with the ladder
4: shoot it with arrows from on the ramp
5: feed it mejoberries/longrass
6 make sure nothing walks in or damages the trap

You can really find these guys at the redwoods I think in Mobile
Yo ca. Find them in the dessert
Can get you lvl 90 to lvl 93 in 4 hours if you have a grinder
Build a small 1by1 window frame house out of stone and then shoot out of a window
Here’s an easy trick for taming. Try to throw some gas grenades to increase it’s torpor
Use mejoberrys better they tame faster that way
Its gathering more obsidian in mobile

This does not harvest metal. Don't waist your time if you want it to gather ANY metal. I have never gotten a single piece.
