This is the most underrated aquatic Dino.

Gathers Metal, obsidian, crystal, stone, oil, etc.

Also will not die unless you run directly into Cnidaria

Beware! When taming, if you stay on your ichy, the dunk you are taming will consistently move away from you- BUT- it will agro other Dunks nearby. I recently tamed a max level Dunk on official and I was being chased down by a whole gang of them while tailgating the one I wanted to tame. You can easily out swim them just be aware they don’t take bullying lightly.

Thank God/Wildcard for adding the tranq harpoon, it made taming so much easier

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

Baryonyx are really good for taming these! Once they start running, a Bary is fast enough to chase them, and since it allows rider weaponry you can keep firing. Since Dunkleos are pretty chunky, it's hard to miss a shot on them even while moving. Aim anywhere except the head. I tamed a 135 with a harpoon launcher loaded with tranq spear bolts, SCUBA gear, and my 276 Baryonyx I use for caves.

For mobile players: From experience they won't attack you on Ichthyosaurus (which also allows rider weaponry,) so you can chase one down and tame it with an Ichthy and a crossbow. Harpoon launchers don't exist on mobile.

For both versions, you could also use a Tusoteuthis and grab/hold the desired Dunkleo, but this takes a long time since they have high torpor and I wouldn't recommend it. You could also be interrupted by other hostile creatures such as Megalodons or Plesiosaurs if you do this. If you don't press attack, the Tuso will inflict torpor but no damage. You'll need more tranquilisers than you think.

Really easy to raise baby’s, high weight allows for more meat stacks early, it also eats incredibly slow so it doesn’t burn through food very quickly.

The dossier says its docile, but no, It isn't run away and avoid they can hit like a SUBMARINE and tank ANOTHER, Very agressive

If you're planning on just shooting them from the back of a baryonyx while it tanks the damage, like I did. Don't think it will be that easy. They try to swim away the whole time, and you have to chase them down.

Just don’t go to the deep ocean

They are found in deep ocean water

Just tamed a 140 X Dunky. Yeahhh, really recommend that you build a trap for these peeps, spent 40+ mins trying to knock out this bad boy with a decent crossbow all while dodging tussos ect. Good times, stressful but good.

Eels can't dismount you but they WILL shock you Dunkle, making you slower

Find the height ceiling for it, you'll be able to easily shoot it from there as it does not swim any higher.

Everyone speaks of the dunkle’s mining capabilities, but it’s actually a surprisingly capable combatant too!

They shockingly have:

*The same base damage as a rex

*A fairly large hp pool

*Smallish stature

*Stone structure damage

Just mind that they have rather poor speed and turning radius for their size, and they still lack rider weaponry. Dunkles might not be as good as a megalodon, but they are more competent then one would expect when attacked.

The easiest way to tame a Dunkleosteus:-

1) Tame a Baryonyx.

2) Bring a scuba gear.

3) Bring a really good crossbow to knock it out.

4) Find a Dunkleosteus (mainly found in deep ocean).

5) Kill all hostiles around it.

6) Use Baryonyx's spin attack to stun a Dunkleosteus.

7) Then knock it out with crossbow (hit on it's body because it's head is fully armored).

8) Then feed it superior kibble, raw mutton, raw prime meat etc.

9) You have a Dunkleosteus.

10) It's really good for harvesting oil from oil nodes in the ocean.

If one is chasing you run for the surface as there's a limit to how high they can go.

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

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.

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

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