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 donβt hurt you.
How To Tame The Hard Way:
1.) Find A Squid
2.) Tame Squid
3.) Find Dunkleo
4.) Grab Dunkleo
5.) Shoot it With Compound And Toxicant
6.) Enjoy Your Dunkleo
Taming a dunklosteous is not too hard if you do this.
1. Get lazurous chowder or scuba gear
2. Have kibble or prime meat ready
3. Have at least 2 good crossbows. Kill some alpha raptors to get some.
4. Use a mount. I recommend a Sarcosichus or a Baryonyx. Make sure you can fire off of its back.
5. Find one. They typically spawn near the edge of the map on The Island.
6. Clear out any hostile creatures that are too close. They will interfere with your tame.
7. Shoot it full of tranqs. This may take a while. They are slow, so simply kite them while riding your mount.
8. Once they are knocked out, put kibble and/or prime meat in their inventory. They may need narcotics depending on the level. Make sure to protect them.
9. You now have a Dunklosteous! I suggest bringing a cryopod because they are very slow swimmers.
Hope this helps, good luck! :)
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.
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 donβt chase (mobile player here) happy taming- Survivor Belle
Iβm one year through with ark mobile and I have never seen a tusoe, mosa or a dunky pls tell me where common spawns are, many thanks
Anyone else surprised that their not hostile
