Great tame for the ocean biome in Genesis. There is a of of metal and stone nodes all over for it to harvest, and in select spots there is abundant crystal for it to get as well. There are also mushrooms for fungal wood and thatch (look like brown coral).

Beware eels and cnidria, as these guys arenbulnerable to both, and has shit speed to outrun them. Good to bring an escort, like a basilo.

It has poor weight, so make sure to pump it. Though 2000 might seem like a lot, the dunkleo does not reduce the weight of any resource. Spare levels after weight can go into other stats, like melee, speed and stam.

As a final note the dunkleo is great for taming tusos. As they have natural armour they take less dmg from the grab, and it has good base health for it.

Just don’t go to the deep ocean

You NEED scuba gear or lazurus chowder and if your thinking 'nah I upgraded my oxygen so I'll be fine' NO they take too long to take down. Also on mobile they don't fight back

For this creature specifically, I feel like tranq harpoons are the best. They cost more than arrows but it’ll take a lot less, and these things are hell to knock out

How to tame a Dunkleosteus

1: Get Bio Toxin/Narcotics, Crossbow with Tranq’ Arrows, and Prime Meat or Raw Meat

2: Wear a Scuba Tank or eat Lazarus Chowder

3: Ride an underwater mount and find the Dunkleosteus you’d like to tame, then kill all nearby fish that could be dangerous.

4: Swim around it and shoot its backside(not it’s head) until it falls unconscious.

5: Put the meat and narcotics you brought and wait. (If it’s torpor level drops under half, force feed it narcotics.)

6: Once it’s tamed, either have it follow you home, equip a saddle and ride it home(not recommended if you used a mount) or go home on your own and Request/Teleport it to you.

Happy taming!

(Tested in Ark Mobile)

They usually near the cave behind carno island,i usually see them everytime I go down there

I’m 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

It lives underwater in deep waters

Apply a few mins extra on due to server lag on ASA

To find a dunkleo simply hit an ammonite and it will cry to its ocean army so easy find

If taming x dunky get ready to spend your life’s earnings on tranq arrows

When taming, take extra bows/crossbows with you. You will most likely break more than one before you knock the dunkle out.

Here’s a taming guide!: First you need tranq arrows between 99 and 200 because they are tanks! Second find them: They spawn at the edge of the map at the bottom of the sea. Next aim for the body! Nowhere else because it’s very hard to knock them out with headshots and Titanaboa Kibble or Superior Kibble is a good idea since it’s easier and lastly have fun with your new Slam Dunk! (Also bring a lot of bio toxin)

They're the doedic's oil-gathering, underwater Cousin! Very useful mounts to have, especially for mid to late game tribes who need oil and/or jerky.

Has anyone figured out why they flee after you punch them one time?

If you are worried about eels dismounting you on these guys, fear not! It doesnt dismount you. I just got ambushed mid farm by a pack of 3 eels and discovered this

It is very easy to tame one of these, all you will need is an icthy and some tranq arrows, crossbow(depends what crossbow is it like ascendant doesn’t have to be) Mostly all sea creatures don’t agro on you while your on your icthy so this makes you able to shoot of your icthy. This method can be used for any tame in the ocean.

Bigger than you think this rocky shark is but it turns really slow so you have time to escape

Found some of these X ones around 55.9, 25.3 on Fjordur not exact that’s just the coast but in the water area there are a few the 150’s I tamed all swam into the rocks easy tames lots of tranqs needed!

Be careful when it because unconscious sometimes it’s hard to tell and I’ve ruined some taming effectiveness by hitting them when they’re down routinely checked with your spyglass

Is anyone gonna mention how this thing has a weight reduction on like everything?
