Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved Companion
Tips & Strategies
It will take around 10ish minutes to knock a high lvl out. You must bring 2.5x the arrows it says will knock it out and extra crossbows. Extra scuba tanks are also recommended since you'll be in the water for quite awhile and the first will most likely break. Once you start shooting it it will try to flee but is easy to keep up with. This is why you must clear out the area around it and keep it in the area or you might be lead to predators. It will take you on a journey if you don't corral it in an area. Occasionally it will turn around and take a bite out of you and your tame then will go back to fleeing so be vigilant. After doing all this, just keep firing away until it finally goes down.
More Dunkleosteus Taming & KO Tips
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.
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
Tuso’s ignore their armor and knock them within 20 minutes, highly recommend using one if you don’t want to waste resources
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.
