Doedics only roll up into their ball once they've lost 2/3rds of their health. So if you have a injured doedic you want to tame, just make sure you won't bring it below 1/3rd of its max health. Hope this helps
Doedicurus
The Doedicurus is an armored, armadillo-like herbivore prized for gathering and carrying stone. When threatened, it curls into a remarkably well-protected ball.
How ARK players tame and knock out the Doedicurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Don't try to tame these things with crossbow , their health drains very fast and then they get themselves baled
I tamed one with a sling shot and berries can’t wait to get a saddle
After most recent update no longer collects obsidian
If play on prim+ then you can give it barly. Not as good as kibbel tho much bether than anny crop
the scorpion made taming this 140 so muchhhh easier than tranqs
start with tranq the use club to fish knocking it out
If it curls up in a ball you can still hit it’s head
While trying to knock them shoot them in their head or tail. That will deal more torphor.
If you bring a snow owl and heal it while it’s in its ball form it’ll come out and be way easier to KO
Took me the exact amount of tranq arrows as said in dododex. Just move in circles and shoot anywhere, if it curls up just wait. Curled up 2 times, lvl 80
Shoot it in the head with tranq darts and not arrows. Otherwise, it will curl up from the damage and only take 10% of the torpor
Lots of these spawn on fars peak. Best Dino in the game in terms of being a utility Dino. Paired with a beaver and you can build a giant base in hours instead of days. Highly recommend this for low and high leveled players. Weight boosting while it levels up!
They take so long I hade a level 4 I thought I would tame it in minute it took forever
All you have to do is get a sling shot and keep running and hitting it
Don't waste your arrow when they are in its shell and aim for first arrow on its face then he will start running towards you then knock it out. Location - Mountains but low level good for starting games
Well I was shooting with darts in the head and still rolled in to a ball and afther he came out I shot 200 darts in the head still nothing so I left it it was a 145
I would discribe the doedicurus as: they see me rollin
I kill him with bow
How to tame properly
If you ok darts for long neck rifle I can pierce through the shell
