Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Dunkleosteus (meaning “Dunkle’s Bone”) in real life had the fastest bite of ANY animal in history, able open AND close its mouth in 1/50 OF A SECOND!! This causes water to be pulled in so quickly, it’s mouth then acted as a split-second vacuum, instantly pulling its prey into its mouth.
Oh, and it ate sharks during its time (late Devonian Period) since sharks weren’t as apex or as developed (looking more like eels, ie. the Cladasolache).
Very easy to tame if you know what your doing. First tame an Ichthyosaur. Then grab a crossbow and some tranq arrows and find one and knock it out. It is not be able to attack if you are on the Ichthy. As you are taming it, be sure to remain on the Ichthy unless feeding narcs, so other creature don’t hurt you.
I tamed a lvl 40 Dunkle with around 60 tranq arrows and 10 toxicant ones. Insta tamed it with titanoboa kibble (using 10x soothing balm boost). It's pretty hard to knockout and takes quite some time in my experience at least.
Everyone speaks of the dunkle’s mining capabilities, but it’s actually a surprisingly capable combatant too!
They shockingly have:
*The same base damage as a rex
*A fairly large hp pool
*Smallish stature
*Stone structure damage
Just mind that they have rather poor speed and turning radius for their size, and they still lack rider weaponry. Dunkles might not be as good as a megalodon, but they are more competent then one would expect when attacked.
Probably the most underrated Dino in the game! They can actually harvest a massive amount of metal, crystal, stone, flint, and obsidian. In Ragnorok there is a ravine by the volcano in the highlands underwater, One run in this ravine will give u 10,000 metal ingots and well over 10,000 obsidian from the same dark gray rock.
Steelslaughter here,
I’ve made the comment on this having the fastest bite of all time, and I thank you for correcting me with this information. I actually never heard about this ant, so major thanks for this break in the case. And sorry about what I said before with this creature.
