How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
If you set it to wander it gathers stone then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm stone basically up if helpful
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
I spent about 56 tranq darts and around 100 tranq arrows to knock out a level 140. Mainly because a lot of the darts and arrows were not registered as hits. I found the best place to aim at was the head I wouldn't waste my darts trying to hit the tail from above as they rarely registered. I had it trapped in a pit style trap so I was above it shooting down.
Donβt listen to ppl who say u need tranq darts if itβs high enough lvl it wonβt get low enough to curl in a ball so if it is a high lvl you can use tranq arrows freely:)
Use a good bow with toxic ant arrows for a lvl 450 it 40 arrows
They are excellent at getting stone, but they cant damage stone buildings..... im confused
The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75% *BUMP*
Use a equus when itβs balled up to tame fast like so people know
Just space out your shots by a few seconds and make sure it doesnβt take too much damage
I found some in the mountains, maybe they spawn mainly on the mountain.

Be sure to shoot the doedicurus on it's underside, not the shell, the shell only takes half torpor
Do not shoot it in the tail! I dropped it in my taming pen and was about 5 shots in when I realized it doesn't register at ALL.
Tame using darts. They donβt take damage so they donβt curl up into a ball when you shoot them with the darts and you just need to dodge itβs swings when it Agros on to you.
they say nothing about how when it balls up its basically impossible to knock out
To tame these guys easy enough. Use an argie to throw them in a tame trap using door frames and maybe a Dino door. Then shoot them with tranq darts and longneck rifle.
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.

They are slow so they are an easy tame
Well I was shooting with darts in the head and still rolled in to a ball and afther he came out I shot 200 darts in the head still nothing so I left it it was a 145
Use tranq darts instead of arrows if you can, because they will roll up after taking a certain amount of damage and will only take 10% torpor when rolled up
When it swings its tail at you, it will sometimes lift up its backside, exposing its belly... Time your shots and you can hit the soft underbelly for max torpor.
