Tips & Strategies
If taming x dunky get ready to spend your life’s earnings on tranq arrows
To find a dunkleo simply hit an ammonite and it will cry to its ocean army so easy find
It is very easy to tame one of these, all you will need is an icthy and some tranq arrows, crossbow(depends what crossbow is it like ascendant doesn’t have to be) Mostly all sea creatures don’t agro on you while your on your icthy so this makes you able to shoot of your icthy. This method can be used for any tame in the ocean.
When taming, take extra bows/crossbows with you. You will most likely break more than one before you knock the dunkle out.
Works like an underwater anky, plus as a weaker but still pretty effective argy all in one. Is also a slow, but very hard to kill combat mount with its 50 % damage reduction to the head and another 25% from a primitive saddle (exponentially higher if it's a higher quality) Reccomended tame!
They usually near the cave behind carno island,i usually see them everytime I go down there
If your on ark mobile grab a crossbow (a good one) a good underwater tame and the scuba set so you don't drown.i finnaly tamed a plesi with this method and now it's time for taming the dunki (I am coming armoured shark)
-They take a LOT of tranq arrows, even with my 300% Ascendant Crossbow.
-Careful if using a crossbow to knock out. I almost killed a 120 trying to tame it. (Use a few harpoon bolts to lower the odds this happening, as they do less damage)
-Be ready for a long fight, and don’t forget to kill all the enemies in a large area so they don’t bother you. (Dunkies will retreat as soon as you start shooting, rarely turning around to bite.)
-I just swam after mine with good speed and flippers, but you may need to use a mount that allows firing while you ride after it.
-Try not to let it retreat too far, use the world border to your advantage.
I’m on PC
They are neutral when solo. However, they will agro when in groups of 3 or more.
Bigger than you think this rocky shark is but it turns really slow so you have time to escape
-Tame one of these armored Bois
-put it in a cryo pod
-complete the lower south cave
-clear the cave from every creature
-deploy the cryo pod with this boi in the water zones in the cave
-destroy every rock in the water zones with the main attack of this creature
And finally, yow you will have tons of stone, metal and obsidian!!!!
Dunkleos are like aquatic dire bears. Get too close to it and it will attack you. However they can be outswimmed by everyting in the ocean.
best way is to find one near the beaches on the southern area of Crystal Isles. they will be spawned there.. and stuck for some reason. just have a long neck and around 50 darts
To the guy who said his journeyman sword done 300-400 dmg but only 100 to the dunkle, the sword damage differs depending on where you hit and how armoured the creature you are attacking is.

Alright so if you know where the green pillar is go to the right side right into the water keep going deeper until you find a lot of rocks (there’s a lot of rocks there so if you can’t find rocks there meaning you’re in the wrong spot or something) it’s a little hard to search that spot because of the rock but there are a lot of didn’t things like eels and dunkleosteus and those water things that you can build a base well I found some anyway be on a ichthy
