What is a dunkleosteus used for? dunkleosteus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
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!
-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!!!!
