If you’re taming a 150+ bring about 4 crossbows, 400 tranq arrows, an ichty, kibble or mutton and a lot of patience.
They receive ruduced damage on both their head and their body so it doesn't matter where you are shooting them.
He will flee as soon as any torpor is dealt, which means you can trap him against a underwater cliff to tame him. He takes superior or snake kibble on mobile, and can break stone and gets tons of oil when tamed.
I was going to tame this guy but it ate my dummy thick ass Cheeks and I could not fined my look or my mosa
I don't know if there was an update or what, but the 150 dunk I tranqed took 40 arrows less than dododex told me, and I had my exact weapon damage inputted.
Build a 3x3 trap on a plesio patform standing on pillars as far back and high as you can go.
Dunkleo and sharks won't be able to attack plesio from inside. Trank risk free. Swim away when it fell asleep. Similar to quetz, just no need to have back wall removed/placed to catch it, the will swim thru the wall if you move. Once inside , just stop moving and it's trapped.
Good melee damage when maxed and really fast when tamed
I tamed a lvl 40 Dunkle with around 60 tranq arrows and 10 toxicant ones. Insta tamed it with titanoboa kibble (using 10x soothing balm boost). It's pretty hard to knockout and takes quite some time in my experience at least.
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
Going after this mega fish in mobile for resources is not worth it, there's not that much to go after except for stone and oil then there's the fact it invites unwanted trouble even if you're minding your own business. I kept getting chased by megalodons, mosa and Mantas each time I mount it
For Fjordur: actually very common spawns, but only at the bottom of sea trenches. When prepping to tame, be sure to clear out any sea scorpions or Megs nearby, or you'll be making drunk fish food.
X-Dunkys took me a lot more tranq arrows than Dododex would suggest, especially considering my 745% crossbow - that still took around 30 shots. Body shots are ideal, since the head is heavily armored.
Be careful starve taming! They don't wake up fast, but they eat very slowly, and mine wouldn't eat the last kibble piece when I dropped in all the ones dododexs calculator said. Let it starve an extra hundred or so food to avoid that happening to you!
DO BE CAUTIOUS WITH TRANQ ARROWS!!! I was with my sarco lookin for one of these and I found one (😃) so I went to town with the arrows, when an angeler came outta nowhere. I bit it once and it died. I also bit the dunky, a few arrows latter it just… died. (😱) so use a harpoon instead!
