Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a dunkleosteus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dunkleosteus.
scary mount but pretty good and if ur taming one of these u can just trap it one one of the water caves and use ur compound crossbow or tranq darts on the surface of the cave
Cheap stone trap with small water dinos or yourself
4 foundation
3 walls high each side, it will not pass thru
1 giant hatch frame and gate on top
Thats all
Bow take your dino, lure it from top and you get out from the side without walls. Dunky is slow and clumsy so you have time to return on too to close gate
Voila
Also work for shark
I literally just grab it with a tuso took it to a safe corner and just waited took about 2 hours to find and tame 2 X versions of this
They are a really easy tame if near the barrier.
Just get a scuba suit and flippers and clear out the area.
Next just shoot it when facing thing the barrier and it will run into it getting stuck.
If it tries to attack you just move to the side they have a very large turning radius
They take the most amount of tranqs to knock out out of any aquatic knockout tame. Since the x-dunk takes %40 the damage of a regular dunk, it makes it one of the hardest things to knock out. However, it’s extremely cowardly, so if they dunks try to surround you, one tranq is always enough to send them running. Plus, plesios, megalodons, parakeet fish schools, anglers, Electrophorus, Mosas, and of you’re unlucky enough, Tusos, will come from every where and try to kill you. The only good news is, knocking it out is the only hard part. It’s a very quick tame afterwards, and doesn’t require any narcs most of the time. Stil, the x-dunk is one of the hardest things to knock out in the game lol.
For Fjordur: actually very common spawns, but only at the bottom of sea trenches. When prepping to tame, be sure to clear out any sea scorpions or Megs nearby, or you'll be making drunk fish food.
X-Dunkys took me a lot more tranq arrows than Dododex would suggest, especially considering my 745% crossbow - that still took around 30 shots. Body shots are ideal, since the head is heavily armored.
Be careful starve taming! They don't wake up fast, but they eat very slowly, and mine wouldn't eat the last kibble piece when I dropped in all the ones dododexs calculator said. Let it starve an extra hundred or so food to avoid that happening to you!
If you have yourself a tuso before taming one if these, your life will be 100% easier.
Just grab it, hold it and wait till it K'Os
Get a sarco or two to help clean out the area and shoot it with tranq arrows while mounted. It will almost never attack and you'll have plenty of speed to keep up while it swims around. Bring a couple if scuba tanks if you don't have above primitive base ones.
If solo taming literally just grab with tuso, bring back to base, hold it and watch YouTube until it passes out
Don't hit the head it does less torpor (just like the pachy) so hit the body.
Tuso’s ignore their armor and knock them within 20 minutes, highly recommend using one if you don’t want to waste resources
Don't aim for head I suggest trapping it in a sea cave or you could shoot above the point in which it swims
You want to have kibble, bring about 150 arrows, and bring scuba suit
They receive ruduced damage on both their head and their body so it doesn't matter where you are shooting them.
They have a lot of torpor and have 80% damage reduction. They are also great oil gatherers and are very tanky at high levels
If you have a squid just grab it and hold it still until it goes unconscious.
While taming watch out for other deep sea creatures like Electrophorus.
1. Don't shoot their head, shoot their butt or body. (This is true, dont trust gamepedia)
2. It wont left deep sea, so u can easily stay out of deep sea border and KO them.
3. Make sure to kill everything else around it before start to K.O it.
Its really easy to tame
Found in the really deep sea…….
has been spot on for every other tame but for this one at level 90 it's supposed to take 9 mutton and 20 minutes, it took me 5 mutton and about 10 minutes and I'm on official
