Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
Never Use Arrows to knock it out, it will take a hour just to knock out even in a trap.
Lvl 85 took way more to ko then it says. Roughly 100 trang arrows out a jm xbow and 59 darts from a app longneck... timers where accurate otherwise.
I have no real tip.. My doe poops every 2 tail swings.. Cant even get a whole rock down because he keeps pooping lol..soo much poop
Apparently, there is a bug that Doedics can't collect obsidian
Ignore the starve time and wait until it's around 200/300 then feed. More efficient way and the tame bare goes straight up. Hour and a half less than indicated. Swift_Riddla ps4
I tamed one of these stone grinders with less than 20 tranq arrows, and i didn’t even shoot it in the head. A lot of comments say use darts, so is this wrong?? ( Recomend taming one anyway).
I play on mobile and when I was taming mine I had to run back to go get some food for him and a soothing balm when I had gotten back the topor was still to the right of the s, my base is at lat: 78.31 lon: 77.52 and i tamed my at lat: 69.67 lon: 82. 70 and the topor had dropped in front of the s
Unconscious

it was like this when I had botten back
also I ran all the way on foot and my movement speed is 109
also be careful getting off of them when on a raft with no roof, they will start to levitate, I wish I was joking. the only way to fix this if they do start to levitate is to move while riding them I'm not sure abt have them follow you because I have not tried it and I don't want to risk it testing that theory. I don't recommend you try that theory but if you do be careful.

When I get some stone with this guy it’s not a stone run it’s a stone roll
There is a taming glitch on mobile where if you leave it while taming, it will despawn, up so others see this.
>:(
You can knock one out with a boomerang just throw it at its head and walk backward be careful not to run into anything
Shoot until it balls then wait for unball shoot again😅
Place large bear trap to knock out easily. Give soothing paste then berries.
Do not tranq the shell it does WAY less torpidity than shooting its head or underside. Up to spread the news.
Easy tame, just shoot in the face with tranq arrows and when it curls in a ball shoot it’s side, either build a 2x2 fence around it while it’s unconscious, or bring your hunting pack with you for protection.
They’re hard to find, but I staked one out with my pteradon at a reasonably close distance from my base, she was chilling on the beach but a couple raptors were hanging around keeping her hostage in a little ball.
I went back, got my hunting crew (2 therizinos, 1 Carno, and 11 dilos) absolutely DEMOLISHED multiple therizinos, barys, spinos, and countless dilos/ raptors on the way, made it to the little doed, tranqed her, and now I have myself a mini stone farmer:)
These Dino are really helpful but there a pain in the butt to tame
Shoot it in the face, shooting it in the shell wont do very much torpor and would just be a waste. Also keep in mind that if you do too much damage it will ball up, not allowing you to tame it.
When trying to tame with regular/primitive bow or rifle it will probably go into a ball. Be patient and let it unroll out of the ball, let it take few steps then continue to shoot it in the head. Sure it take a long time and you need patience but it'll be worth it in the end. Or do it the easy way and have tribemate grab it with an argy and you shoot it in the belly.
If you do not have a flyer and tame on foot far warning....these guys DO NOT walk in a straight line. Took ages to get home lol
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.
Use a good bow with toxic ant arrows for a lvl 450 it 40 arrows
