What is a dunkleosteus used for? dunkleosteus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Well, this creature Just have ONE limited use, but it surely makes the difference. Not as powerful than a Megalodon, and not as fast than a Ichtyosaurus, this is One of the almost useless tames(ALMOST). It’s unique use is to farming oil, due to it’s capacity to farm rocks in ocean. Also, if is a high level tame, you can protect yourself during farming oil, which is easier than Going to the deep with an Ichty and dismounting to farm oil with the pickaxe. 100% hype, but 50% useful.
