So if you’re on scorched earth just use a boomerang they are slow. So you can just easily boomerang them and have a new fried
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.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use tranq arrows it will kill it and I found a lvl 150 one and I stuck 200 tranqs in its head and it still didn't go down.
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
This thing can't be tamed using bole.you need to use tranq arrow if we shoot it it we attack.so avoid its attack and hit in its head
Once you're deep in tranq darts trying to tame this, punch it... I punched it and it unwound itself to start running, punched it again and it became unconscious.. almost used 15 darts before I knew the shell absorbs half torpor 🥲🥲 he's a level 2 😂
Their torpor rate is lower than most creatures, needs to be updated.
I haven't been playing long enough to know if this is an actual change but when I was taming it with a crossbow, headshots worked fine and it didn't curl up, it just ran away(slowly)
The amount of algae is incorrect for small tribes. Would take 14 for 145
Swipe up on mobile to do a rolling move, it consumes stamine every second that you roll. Just for found when i accidentally swiped my screen
Super good at collecting stone. I recommend using a bear trap and building a structure around it to make gaming easier. They’re also pretty cute 🤣
Just ignore those saying that you should shoot them into head or tail. Shooting into shell deals the same torpor as long as they are not curled up. This is why dododex gives only one value on numbers of darts or arrows needed, and no extra value for head or tail.
I found it is best to use a nets gun to immobilize
Then tranq and then kibble
Shoot it anywhere you like as it is a myth that you must target it’s legs head or belly. The shell provides the doedi zero protection while not balled up and thus no reduction to torpor gain until it curls up into a ball. Don’t believe the widespread don’t hit the shell BS.
I was taming a level three and needed lots of narcotics so bring them
Build a taming pen......trust me.
If you don't have an argy, get a few sleeping bags and spike walls and go to redwoods. Make sure to have a weapon since you might have to fight Carnos and other creatures while it tames. Up for others to see!
It takes double the amount of berries as the dododex recommends.
If you are taking a dodic have a friend to hold it with an argentavis and it won't curl up so you can knock it out
Net gun them and fill them with tranq darts and as soon as it’s free … net gun it again 👍🏻
Just knocked one of these guys out, I have her backpack loaded with berries right now. I had to shoot her on the shell though cuz the torso is the best I can aim for on most animals, so she wasted more than 50% of my narcotic arrows. Wish me luck guys
