Dunkleosteus Taming And Abilities In ARK Survival Ascended | The Center

As with every new map in ARK Survival Ascended, The Center map is unique in its environment and resources. This means that the optimal tame changes accordingly. The best tame for The Center, with its predominant ocean biomes, is the Dunkleosteus.

If you aim to capture one of the best tames for The Center and want insights into why it's so desirable, you're in the right place. Below, we will guide you on how to tame the Dunkleosteus and highlight its unique abilities and uses in ARK Survival Ascended's The Center.

Dunkleosteus Abilities And Uses In ARK Survival Ascended

As previously mentioned, the Dunkleosteus is one of the best tames for The Center map, especially for its vast oceans and water biomes. This is due to its multifaceted abilities, particularly its prowess in combat and its exceptional resource-gathering capabilities underwater.

You'll notice that the underwater/ocean areas on the right side of the map are incredibly rich in resources such as stone, metal, obsidian, crystals, pearls, and oil. When it comes to resource harvesting, the Dunkleosteus is unmatched, capable of collecting thousands of resources from a single vein.

For example, in a small section of the ocean floor, I was able to collect over 2000 metal by breaking just 4 or 5 metal ore rocks. This impressive yield extends to other resources as well. So, if you're looking to gather materials for base building, item crafting, or weapon creation, the Dunkleosteus is the way to go.

To tame a Dunkleosteus, you'll need to use traditional methods of knocking it out with tranquilizers or other knockout methods, then feeding it taming food (in this case, any form of meat or Kibble) to fill its taming meter. Once the meter is full, it will wake up tamed and ready to help you collect resources.

There you have a detailed breakdown of the taming process and abilities of the Dunkleosteus, arguably the best resource collector in water on ARK Survival Ascended's The Center map.
