Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a doedicurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a doedicurus.
It's tamable under lvl 30 and ridable under 40.
For both MOBILE & PC
1) You'll find them the most in redwood area. Use a doedicurus location map from google.
2) craft wooden spike wall x4, tranq arrows & some narcotics.
3) use ptera (safest & fastest) or any other mount.
4) whistle your tame and set it to passive. knock one doedy using a tranq arrow. Shoot them in the head or tail. They can't run fast so you will be safe.
5) after it gets knocked place the spike walls around it.
6) feed kibble.

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
Pretty slow so just walk back and if they get close enough to atk U will already be out of their range and aim for head (if it's a low lvl U might have to use tranq darts)
I see tons of these walking bowling balls all over aberration, and a lot of them are in the fertile lake area. If you see one, start shooting it in the head with tranq darts. Arrows do more damage but if you don’t have access to darts yet, you can use them. If you do end up using the arrows, wait 5 seconds before every shot to do max torpor with minimum damage. Once tamed these things can roll like a ball, gather stone like BONKERS, and have decent defense. Although, I still wouldn’t recommend attacking a rex with it. Overall, it is a good tame for early game stone gathering.

I would discribe the doedicurus as: they see me rollin
Have a friend pick one up and hold it with an argy while you tranq it. Can’t ball up and your shooting it from underneath anyway. Or, you can use a longneck and tranq darts to knock them out before they even take enough damage to ball up in the first place.
I flew around on my argey looking for one on the closest mountain (the one in the redwoods) and found one within a minute, scooped it up and went back home then put it in a trap then I took a nap so that it starves so it would tame faster.
2 tranq arrows to the head with a compound bow and it was out cold. I’m feeding it rn with mejoberries and it took literally 30 seconds to tame
Up if helpful, Down If this was useless

Doesn't have specific regions for higher otr lower torpor, shoting into the shell deals same torpor as into head or tail. This is why dex onlx gives one value for number of tranq arrows/darts needed.
They curl into ball once their health drops below 2/3rd of max(i.e. only 1/3rd heath remaining), keep that in mind when using tranq arrows...
Very useful for collecting resources especially sand, also very good for protection, how to tame: grab 3 boomerangs, throw one at the creature to get it angry then just keep throwing the boomerang at its face even if it runs away then when its unconscious feed it berry's, this tactic is only useful for a low level one and only works in scorched earth. Up if useful.
If youre on scorched earth use a boomerang, I knocked a lv 50 out in less than 2 minutes
you can definetly tame these with tranq arrows. put some wooden spikes around it and feed it soothing balm if you can. you dont need too much narcotics if you use soothing balm
The easiest way to hunger an animal is by sleeping it out. Capture and wait till night,sleep than tranq it.This apply in mobile I'm not sure for pc or console. Good luck.
Don't use a taming pen as it makes headshots near impossible. Drop it near your base and backpedal while shooting darts into its face.
I have found that a few spawn in consistent at the Red Wood Forest.
Use a slingshot walk backwards and shoot it u will need about 40 stones its a simple tame
To tame these guys easy enough. Use an argie to throw them in a tame trap using door frames and maybe a Dino door. Then shoot them with tranq darts and longneck rifle.
The amount of algae is incorrect for small tribes. Would take 14 for 145
If it rolls up into a ball, get out of render distance on a flyer or fast tame for a bit then come back it should normal then you can tranq it once or more if lucky, rinse and repeat. Their torpor drops at 2.4 per second, as long as you keep pumping tranqs in under 30-45 secs(more than enough time to render out and back) it should get knocked if it's health allows it
On Ragnarok, I have seen them mostly in the black volcanic zone. There are a lot of dangerous animals that you should keep a distance with. Mostly mantis, Spider, and centipedes. I have seen rexes, carnos, and raptor there too.
