Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
To make it NOT GO IN ITS SHELL just use tranq arrows and make sure to bring at least 30 tranq arrows.
I personally just tame them normally because they walk very slow and aiming for the head isn’t that hard and when it starts to run you just hit it’s head with a bat
When you tranq it keep your distance or else it will ball up and you have to start over.
If you have cheats or slot of time PUMP move speed to Max and you are a bowling ball
The doey DOES get obsidian. It sucks for metal tho
Just did a 120 well over what is said here. Ruined my tame. And my time ty
It says you need to tranq it 19 times but i shot it 70+ and it's still concious
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.
Yo ca. Find them in the dessert
IVE GONE TO THE REDWOODS 10 TIMES AND WHAT HAVE I FOUND?!? MURDER CATS AND REXES THATS WHAT. ANY DOEDICS? NO!!! THEY ARE NOT COMMON AROUND HERE AT ALL
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.
Survival guide: doedicurus
————————————
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

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
If you have been wanting a high lvl and it's doubl everything don't waist the kibble, feed it half way with stimberries, then feed it mejoberries. It gonna come out exactly what the lvl of the doed was but will the less time and don't need any kibble, which you can use on another doed.
After you get it knocked out if you dont have the time too wait for it use stim berrys it will take the taming effectveness down significantly but it's food goes down and the taming goes up as it eats them it can shave an hour or more off the longer berry eating tames.
