What is a doedicurus used for? doedicurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I don’t know if anyone else has realized but these things are absolute gods for cave explorations. The gigantopithecus is good for all of them but arctic cave explorations. The doedicurus can simply roll over fodder for its xp right into your unfound dossiers and needed artifact. Once I took out an entire cave in under five minutes with one of these badasses. They’re fast, tanky, insane atk, good knockback, and extremely agile. They’re even faster in water just so yall know. These also have high torpor. Mine is level 228 and we went into lava cave and absolutely destroyed EVERYTHING. Every single thing. EVERYTHING. These are medium weight mules high atk and hp tanks and insane racers they’ve got good Stam too. It’s insane how good they are.
Use on extinction to gather element dust and crystal from lamp posts and tables. If you have a crab (argy or quetz also work) you can quickly solo run ele dust (I got about 15k in an hour on 1x). You just have to put the doedicurus on wander and carry him near a lamp with your other tame. Make sure you empty him every 2-3 swings or he will overencumber on crystal and won't swing automatically any more. Of course he also cannot be on follow or he won't auto swing either.
Let’s say you roll a good distance to get stone, your encumbered almost and moving slow as an achatina and it’s gunna easily be a 10 min roll back to base, we’ll if there’s a river or water near your base just roll into the water and Voila! Who knew these things could swim like Sarcos?
