Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a dunkleosteus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dunkleosteus.
While taming watch out for other deep sea creatures like Electrophorus.
Found in the really deep sea…….
Tuso’s ignore their armor and knock them within 20 minutes, highly recommend using one if you don’t want to waste resources
I dont know why the dododex consider dunkles torpor drain as high, just keep hitting it with tranq just like regular tame, it drops pretty slow compared to other tames that classified as high torpor drain. You didn't even need narcotics to tame it. But maybe it classifies as high torp whenever you miss your tranq arrow, because it is dropping fast.
Ride on the back of a good sarco and you can shoot at these dudes from it and easily keep up with them. 600% crossbow and it took about 40 tranqs for a 140. Great find
If you’re taming a 150+ bring about 4 crossbows, 400 tranq arrows, an ichty, kibble or mutton and a lot of patience.
They receive ruduced damage on both their head and their body so it doesn't matter where you are shooting them.
He will flee as soon as any torpor is dealt, which means you can trap him against a underwater cliff to tame him. He takes superior or snake kibble on mobile, and can break stone and gets tons of oil when tamed.
I don't know if there was an update or what, but the 150 dunk I tranqed took 40 arrows less than dododex told me, and I had my exact weapon damage inputted.
Build a 3x3 trap on a plesio patform standing on pillars as far back and high as you can go.
Dunkleo and sharks won't be able to attack plesio from inside. Trank risk free. Swim away when it fell asleep. Similar to quetz, just no need to have back wall removed/placed to catch it, the will swim thru the wall if you move. Once inside , just stop moving and it's trapped.
Good melee damage when maxed and really fast when tamed
I tamed a lvl 40 Dunkle with around 60 tranq arrows and 10 toxicant ones. Insta tamed it with titanoboa kibble (using 10x soothing balm boost). It's pretty hard to knockout and takes quite some time in my experience at least.
This thing is tough and you will see this on the deepest water on ark but this thing is slow and sometimes passive sometimes aggressive you can tame this but you need to trap this but be careful the bite of this is like a Rex but you can use this as Rock farmer
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!
DO BE CAUTIOUS WITH TRANQ ARROWS!!! I was with my sarco lookin for one of these and I found one (😃) so I went to town with the arrows, when an angeler came outta nowhere. I bit it once and it died. I also bit the dunky, a few arrows latter it just… died. (😱) so use a harpoon instead!
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
Not sure what the deal is but at level 90 using mutton it's supposed to take 20 minutes and 9 mutton but as of right now I'm 5 minutes in, at 44% and 2 mutton in
I tamed a Dunk but For some reason When I search for the saddle, It doesn’t show up. This is on mobile. -Raptor
Just Tamed a 150 Female on the frozen seas pretty dope it gives 300 oil in one bite pretty cool tbh
On Mobil it would not take torpor I was using regular tranq arrows and a crossbow and I was on a itchy like up if this happens to you.
