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.
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.
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.
These are one of the few dinos that take less damage/topour from head shots. Aim for the body.
When it says 1.7% chance of death. It means it's going to die.
This thing is tough and you will see this on the deepest water on ark but this thing is slow and sometimes passive sometimes aggressive you can tame this but you need to trap this but be careful the bite of this is like a Rex but you can use this as Rock farmer
