Dakosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Dakosaurus is a large marine reptile from Aquatica, the ocean expansion map added to ASE in patch 360.1. It is an aggressive underwater predator that becomes a mount, a storage creature and a combat partner once tamed.

Where to find it

It lives underwater on Aquatica, from medium-shallow to deep water.

Taming

A knockout tame. Its preferred food is Extraordinary Kibble. The Dakosaurus Saddle unlocks at level 76, and a Platform Saddle for building on its back at level 86.

Breeding

It can be bred. A baby takes about 7 days 17 hours to mature at 1x.

Uses

  • Combat: a bite and a tail whip that hits targets behind it.
  • Mobile base: the platform saddle turns it into a moving underwater base.
  • Raids: it can damage thatch, greenhouse and wood structures.

Tips

Use Hibernation when parked: it stops in place, eats about 2.5 times less food and regenerates health faster. Riders cannot use weapons on it.
