I see many new players struggling with taming one… those who lead to shore or look for a safe place…

A way better idea for starters is go level up by gathering explorer notes and tame a petra.

Then go to redwood tame a argy

Use the argy to look for a DEOD take it to your base then knock out and tame…

Yes taming takes too long with no kipple but taming at your base is way better and faster…

Don’t have more arrows? Your base is there and just make extra arrows if you run out

Space out the tranq arrows so it doesn’t ball up I say every 5 seconds blow up for noobs

If you take a snow owl you can heal it when it balls up. Once it's health is up it will come out of the ball and you can continue to tranquilize it.

Have a mate pick it up with an Argy then as they hover above you you can shoot it in the underside and knock it out much quicker. Bring Regular Kibble or it's a SLOW tame!

They are slow so they are an easy tame

Hello, this is my second tip after my argy tip, im gonna tell you how to easily tame it and what it was used for,

TAMING:

First you just need to prepare a weapon and the ammo and that was:

1. U can use an bow or crossbow with an Tranq Arrow for knocking it out

2. U can use an riffle with the ammo of Tranq dart

Or 3. U can just use a slingshot with rock as an ammo

After that you need to prepare a food and the food was berries or you can use kibble, and don't forget the narcotic/biotoxin for keep it unconcious

And you just need to find one

And after you find 1 just knock it out and feed it ( i recommended to hit it on head not on his Shell ) and after that just keep looking the unconcious bar if it reduce feed it with biotoxin or narcotic to keep it unconcious

And after it's tamed, tadaaaa you have an stone collector, this Dino is can used to get much of stone

And i think only that i was want to tell you

And sorry for the bad English cuz i am an indonesian

~Signed your ark fella

Just space out your shots by a few seconds and make sure it doesn’t take too much damage

Insane tame for collecting stone, if you have a quetz just drop it into taming pen but mind out how many tranqs you use as it will go in to a ball if it takes to much damage

Build some kind of structure in the volcano with four foundations and eight walls pick it up with a bird and drop it in the tame to your heats content I recommend a high level Horse.

Build a 3x3 platform, then build a metal/stone hatchframes on top and put a ramp leading up to them. Build walls up top and lure Doe onto top level. Go below and shoot underside through hatchframes with tranq darts, done

It’s hard to knock this bad man out

These creatures are easy to tame if u got argie and taming pen

A handy tip to see if you need arrows or darts is to find out how much total health your doedicurus has and then choose your weapon to knock it out. Then using Dododex, see how many shots it takes to knock it out and then click on the weapon to see how much damage it does. Multiple those 2 numbers and if your answer is the relatively close to the health stat, choose a longneck instead. Example: I have a level 120 I want to tame. I have a crossbow that takes 40 shots to knock it out and does 150 damage per shot 40x150=6,000 so I switch to darts. If I had a level 100 and wanted to tame it with a crossbow that did 90 damage and took 50 shots to knock out 90x50=4,500 which (let’s pretend mine had 7k health) is less than 7,000 so I can knock it out with a crossbow. Remember that the examples at the end are NOT accurate just the idea. Happy taming!

today 05/17/2022 I tested it in the creative and the torpor rises 708 both in the head and in the Shell, there is no headshot difference

When taming and it balls up, it will unball when it poops, but will still have the 90% damage reduction until it starts moving again. Just be patient and wait for it to move, it is not glitches.

Actually you can knock them up even balled up with a equus(horse)(right click) tried it just know

Always use an Argy to drop into a 4x4 stone doorframe pen for taming.

REMINDER: A LVL 35 DODEC TAKES ONLY 5 DILO KIB NOT 7.

Use an owl to hunt and tame. Once it goes into a ball, heal it! The ball is a mechanic for damage mitigation. Once out of the ball, keep peppering your tranqs.

These guys DESTROY their food supplies. Bear that in mind.
