A easy tame but be sure to bring lots of tranq arrows it took me 79
Is surprisingly stunned by a Baryonyx!
Thank God/Wildcard for adding the tranq harpoon, it made taming so much easier
Here’s a taming guide!: First you need tranq arrows between 99 and 200 because they are tanks! Second find them: They spawn at the edge of the map at the bottom of the sea. Next aim for the body! Nowhere else because it’s very hard to knock them out with headshots and Titanaboa Kibble or Superior Kibble is a good idea since it’s easier and lastly have fun with your new Slam Dunk! (Also bring a lot of bio toxin)
Great tame for the ocean biome in Genesis. There is a of of metal and stone nodes all over for it to harvest, and in select spots there is abundant crystal for it to get as well. There are also mushrooms for fungal wood and thatch (look like brown coral).
Beware eels and cnidria, as these guys arenbulnerable to both, and has shit speed to outrun them. Good to bring an escort, like a basilo.
It has poor weight, so make sure to pump it. Though 2000 might seem like a lot, the dunkleo does not reduce the weight of any resource. Spare levels after weight can go into other stats, like melee, speed and stam.
As a final note the dunkleo is great for taming tusos. As they have natural armour they take less dmg from the grab, and it has good base health for it.
Just tamed a 140 X Dunky. Yeahhh, really recommend that you build a trap for these peeps, spent 40+ mins trying to knock out this bad boy with a decent crossbow all while dodging tussos ect. Good times, stressful but good.
The easiest way to tame a Dunkleosteus:-
1) Tame a Baryonyx.
2) Bring a scuba gear.
3) Bring a really good crossbow to knock it out.
4) Find a Dunkleosteus (mainly found in deep ocean).
5) Kill all hostiles around it.
6) Use Baryonyx's spin attack to stun a Dunkleosteus.
7) Then knock it out with crossbow (hit on it's body because it's head is fully armored).
8) Then feed it superior kibble, raw mutton, raw prime meat etc.
9) You have a Dunkleosteus.
10) It's really good for harvesting oil from oil nodes in the ocean.
I’m one year through with ark mobile and I have never seen a tusoe, mosa or a dunky pls tell me where common spawns are, many thanks
They are found in deep ocean water
How to tame a Dunkleosteus
1: Get Bio Toxin/Narcotics, Crossbow with Tranq’ Arrows, and Prime Meat or Raw Meat
2: Wear a Scuba Tank or eat Lazarus Chowder
3: Ride an underwater mount and find the Dunkleosteus you’d like to tame, then kill all nearby fish that could be dangerous.
4: Swim around it and shoot its backside(not it’s head) until it falls unconscious.
5: Put the meat and narcotics you brought and wait. (If it’s torpor level drops under half, force feed it narcotics.)
6: Once it’s tamed, either have it follow you home, equip a saddle and ride it home(not recommended if you used a mount) or go home on your own and Request/Teleport it to you.
Happy taming!

If one is chasing you run for the surface as there's a limit to how high they can go.
Find the height ceiling for it, you'll be able to easily shoot it from there as it does not swim any higher.
You NEED scuba gear or lazurus chowder and if your thinking 'nah I upgraded my oxygen so I'll be fine' NO they take too long to take down. Also on mobile they don't fight back
