The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Dunkleosteus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the X-Dunkleosteus across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the X-Dunkleosteus sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The X-Dunkleosteus bleeds 1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

Found throughout the ARKs, the X-Dunkleosteus is a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

The X-Dunkleosteus has 710 base Health - quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the X-Dunkleosteus has respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. It carries 910 base Weight - massive inventory space.

You'll need to knock the X-Dunkleosteus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the X-Dunkleosteus is well-suited for deep-sea exploration, cave diving, and ocean resource runs. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process.
