Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

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.

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.
Tuso’s ignore their armor and knock them within 20 minutes, highly recommend using one if you don’t want to waste resources
Anyone else surprised that their not hostile
These are one of the few dinos that take less damage/topour from head shots. Aim for the body.
Bring more tranq arrows then you think! Mine took 100 at close range, on the body, at LEVEL 3.
I took cooked prime meat (stays better longer) and got mine in only four feedings. On an icthy they don’t chase (mobile player here) happy taming- Survivor Belle
When it says 1.7% chance of death. It means it's going to die.
Very hard to get it to chase you, so you’ll have to chase it. An ichthyosaurus is best because it’s fast and you can shoot from the back of it. Though, I would recommend bring a basi for protection from eels, megs, and jellies, just to be safe. The dunky is slow but it can go far.
Also, don’t take your eyes off of it for too long or you’ll never find it again.
I dont know why the dododex consider dunkles torpor drain as high, just keep hitting it with tranq just like regular tame, it drops pretty slow compared to other tames that classified as high torpor drain. You didn't even need narcotics to tame it. But maybe it classifies as high torp whenever you miss your tranq arrow, because it is dropping fast.
A easy tame but be sure to bring lots of tranq arrows it took me 79
