Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
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
If it is in ball mode, hit it in the face really low and it will go normal
Even if the health is low after it becomes unconscious, the ‘Taming Effectiveness’ timer is not nerfed or affected. I just tamed a 150 Doed on an ARKpocalypse server and it had 1/4 health at the start of taming. I fed it crops and I got the max bonus the chart promised!
Do not shoot him with tranq arrows if it's not over lvl 100 or it will ball up.
Untameable without a scorpion... Or anything that deals periodical torpor.
So I’m lvl 30 on my mobile ark server and i have no tames and just a slingshot the max for my server is 200 so I ko-ed about a 1-10 and I was making a stone base and collecting stone with a stone hatchet I got one of these and it accelerated the stone collection process probably 10x so get one of these ASAP cuz for pvp they are NEEDED (my server is Preadator II medium pvp)
App says 29 shots, did well over 100. Make sure to bring way too many arrows.
Only collects stone but is really awesome at it......
The obsidian gathering on the doedic is broken it will not gather obsidian.
use like 20 tranq darts to the face and it will knock but dont use mejoberry it loves dilo kibble and veggies better so i hope this helps
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.
Get more kibble than needed... need to fix this asap
Can you also add bacon from prim +? I play prim and its nice
Most fun I've had on a dino to date. Lvl up emote is hilarious. Roll gives fast movement to get around or away
