Doedicurus Taming Calculator

To tame the Doedicurus, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Torpor bleeds at 0.75/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Knockout Weapons

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Doedicurus. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Doedicurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Karkinos to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Doedicurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Doedicurus bleeds 0.75 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Doedicurus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Doedicurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The Doedicurus, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Farmer classification.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Doedicurus has solid damage output. With 850 base Health, the Doedicurus is quite durable. With 300 base Stamina, the Doedicurus has moderate endurance. A base Weight of 250 means a solid weight pool.

Taming the Doedicurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Doedicurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Doedicurus yields 7 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.83 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
