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.

It's tamable under lvl 30 and ridable under 40.

2) craft wooden spike wall x4, tranq arrows & some narcotics.

3) use ptera (safest & fastest)…

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…

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.

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…

If youre on scorched earth use a boomerang, I knocked a lv 50 out in less than 2 minutes

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the Deodic balls up when tranqing it, stop. The tranqs will not work while its balled up.

In Valg. U can tame these when lvl 9, with boomerang. ( you have to spawn in chalk hills tho )

I managed to tame a low level one with tranq arrows + Crossbow. I shot his head a few times then I tried shooting at his feet. When he went down he had half health.

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)

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.

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…
