It lives underwater in deep waters

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

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

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

Just don’t go to the deep ocean

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.

If you tranq them from the right angle you can get them to start swimming into the ground which will force them up resulting in them swimming to the surface. You can then build walls or structures around it so it doesn't escape then sit back like you are tranqing a giga until it falls unconscious.

On THE ISLAND IN ASE the only thing this is useful for is harvesting oil since the only places where metal, obsidian and crystal spawn are in underwater caves and your dunkleosteus can't go in there to harvest them or else it goes above water and dies.

Also if you are clever yes there are some rocks that spawn underwater but they are located near shores so you can use your dunkleosteus to harvest those but there are only a few places where this happens like in the northern shores and at herbivore island.

Remember that this only applies to the dunkleosteus on the map the island and on the game version ase so on other maps dunkles may be more useful and on asa more rocks do spawn underwater.

If you are playing on ark ultimate mobile edition then there are only oily rocks in the ocean as that is ase.

If you are off your mount and you swim close enough to one of these they will get aggressive and attack you, they do have an aggro range but it is very small.

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)

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’s cool and big and great for metal gathering

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

This tame has the worst stamina ever, if you sprint with it you will be winded in less than 10 seconds.

On ragnarok in the underwater scar these guys aee crazy good for obsidian and metal and crystal in the area. On 2x harvest i can encumber my 211 dunk in about 4 bites

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

Doesn’t farm flint and still shows on the dino farming options. Makes no sense.

Thank you for the info about the trap-jaw ant. I hope I didn't spread too much false information

If your on ark mobile grab a crossbow (a good one) a good underwater tame and the scuba set so you don't drown.i finnaly tamed a plesi with this method and now it's time for taming the dunki (I am coming armoured shark)
