Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
Their torpor does not go down fast, it’s just really hard to keep its torpor up. Like so people see
A trap really isn’t needed, as it runs very slowly. Would recommend using an argentavis (if available) to pick it up and take it to a safer spot. Tranq darts and tranq arrows work just fine.
i threw a boomerang at it for a minute while walking backwords and that worked
A lvl 100 does NOT take 36 arrows to fall, I just blew though 50 and it’s still kicking
Instead of shooting in the face with tranq arrows, go for the tail. Will take practice or if you managed to lure into a trap of yours it will swing its tail. If on foot just walk backwards and close enough to trigger a swing at you to get shots to the tail. In a trap just time it when it swings. Avoids it from taking too much damage from heatshots and balling up.
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.
If you want to tame any dino:
1.Make a three by three trap of floor and same walls.
2.Trap any dino you want using ram.
3.After traping that dino .
4.Then sleep fast on sleeping bag.
5.After waking up you see the hunger bar of that dino is empty.
This way you can tame any dino fast👍
Still no way for it to gather its own berries/ food
REMINDER: A LVL 35 DODEC TAKES ONLY 5 DILO KIB NOT 7.
Tranq arrows and I used Bio Toxin, I still suggest keep on you about 50, and I used crops, the one I tamed preferred corn over potatoes, carrots and etc
Actually you can knock them up even balled up with a equus(horse)(right click) tried it just know
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.
I once knocked one out with a sling shot in the red woods
All you have to do is get a sling shot and keep running and hitting it
Use tranq arrows if u don’t have darts then just whack with a wooden club when it’s curled up in a ball
When I get some stone with this guy it’s not a stone run it’s a stone roll
It takes 9 kibble for 145 sorry
Shoot for the head or tail with trans arrows and crossbow combo. When it rolls into a ball leave the area and keep an eye on them with a spy glass. Wait for it to start moving before approaching and shooting again. For high level ones, use a magnifying glass to check the torpor lvl while it's in ball form. Takes several rounds to get them knocked out. Don't waste your time trying to apply torpor while it's in a ball. Good luck.
If you have a duo and a argy, first some of your friends pick ths doedic with argy and shoot on the belly with darts or tranqs (Tip: Do Not Use Bow Use Crowsbow) and knock it out thats so easy
