What is a dunkleosteus used for? dunkleosteus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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.

-put it in a cryo pod
-complete the lower south cave
-clear the cave from every creature
-deploy the cryo pod with this boi in the water zones in the cave
