What are tips for dunkleosteus? Tips and strategies for dunkleosteus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They are slow. Any tamed water mount that isn't a dunkle can out-swim 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!
If you have yourself a tuso before taming one if these, your life will be 100% easier.
Just grab it, hold it and wait till it K'Os
Get a sarco or two to help clean out the area and shoot it with tranq arrows while mounted. It will almost never attack and you'll have plenty of speed to keep up while it swims around. Bring a couple if scuba tanks if you don't have above primitive base ones.
If solo taming literally just grab with tuso, bring back to base, hold it and watch YouTube until it passes out
The Dunk had the fastest bite of any animal alive during the time it was still alive. The trap jaw ant is irrelevant.
They are found way down in the water
Don’t wanna get chomped by those teeth
Don't aim for head I suggest trapping it in a sea cave or you could shoot above the point in which it swims
I swear these things don’t care if they’re being tranqued. They’re passive when you approach them and apparently passive if you shoot it. Don’t know about others :)
They have a lot of torpor and have 80% damage reduction. They are also great oil gatherers and are very tanky at high levels
If you have a squid just grab it and hold it still until it goes unconscious.
Don't hit the head it does less torpor (just like the pachy) so hit the body.
