Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Deinosuchus is a MASSIVE crocodile found in swamps and in some rivers. They have 3 attacks and 2 in water. One, the normal bite attack does decent damage, the second attack, the tail swipe does NOT work underwater, but on land it does insane knockback. The third and final attack, the gigabite, has to be charged up, and when prompted, chomps down with all it might to do INSANE damage, a high lvl can even pump 20- 30k damage. It is also very easy to level a high levels health to even 100k+ hp.
Taming is a simple passive tame, though very dangerous, that is why building a trap is recommended. Place a stone dinogate, then about 6 or 7 (6-7 ha ha) stone foundations out on each side, then connect. Place 3 stone walls high on all sides. When ready, lead the deino in, a high hp argy recommended. Once in the trap, wear full ghilli( though not necessary) put meat or kibble in your last hotbar slot, and hide. When the deino is not looking at you, sneak up to its neck, and when prompted, feed the food. Note: if its looking at you, and opening its mouth, do NOT approach, it wants to eat you, not the food you want it to eat.
Deinos are OP, they will cook any alpha easily, and are good for any underwater or swamp expedition, since they are immune to leaches and kapros. Highly recommend taming. Definitly 10/ 10. Almost nothing can kill a high level. Plus you can weild weapons while riding, wich makes you even more deadly. Dienos are also great boss fighters, even being able to solo some bosses.
Thanks for reading, this took a LONG time to write. Im not going to ask for ups, because it gets SO annoying everyone asking for ups. Thanks.

Listen up...
These guys are the absolute best mount for the island. There is almost nothing that can kill these things if you have high level. I take this guy around the map to water caves and for alpha tuso and mosasaur and they didn't stand a chance. I also recommend using extraordinary kibble for tame. You only need 2 or 3 for high levels and anything below like 65 only needs one 1. And remember this is a passive tame. You need to wait for it to fall asleep with its mouth open and you have like a 15 sec window to sneak in full ghilly and feed it. Make sure to have food in last slot.
Hope you like pls up this!!!
Put food in last slot and feed it after it opens its mouth and hisses. It’ll chomp down if you do it right, sometimes the prompt doesn’t work but you can still feed it. Then run away and wait about 30sec and try again. If your not dying your doing it right. Good luck

Although it doesn’t say on dododex, it does spawn on extinction(up so they can update it!)
First, make sure you are the proper level, because remember; you are only able to feed them once you reach Lvl 70. Next, you want to get on a pteranadon and brew up some exceptional kibble, because let’s be honest here; who wants to wait several hours for your prime meat jerky to finish? (Not me!) Now you want to single out the one you want to tame. I recommend making it worth your time and just find the highest level one. I recommend Lvl 140-150. Singling them out was the hardest part, so the rest is a breeze. Now, just fly a short distance away so it doesn’t know you are there and wait till it lays down, and opens its jaw. Don’t fly too close, but mount off you pteranadon close to the Deinosuchus so you can get away quick, run up to the Deinosuchus, and feed it the kibble. (Bringing any other food is fine, but I gotta warn you; prime meat spoils really quick.) From here, just rinse and repeat, and you’ve realized how easy it is to tame and not freak out anymore. And now with that, the wild Deinosuchus has finally warmed up to you! Happy taming! (And/or hunting!)
P.S. Sorry this was a super long tip, but trust me, the read is worth your while!

I was once afraid of titanosaurs until I tamed this monster. Me and my friend are playing on a non cheat world and tamed 2 145 deinos and they ended up being lv 214. We bred them and got imprinted ones and took them out to fight a titanosaur (I didn’t think it was a good idea but my friend told me we got it). So we both mega chomp it and run. Turns out the broken bones debuff they apply does the same amount of damage the mega bite does every half a second and the titanosaur died in just 2 hits. He gave our deinos 40 levels and we are no longer in fear of titanosaurs.
These guys are amazing, they can even fight bosses, but if you dont have kibble you need +100 prime meat or mutton, which would take way too long.
This thing is awesome!! Surprisingly fun and easy to tame. When it chases you with its mouth open like a baby bird its so silly, just dont get bit! This thing is a beast on land and the sea, swims pretty fast and you can coast on the surface without diving. Even stand on the back if need be. 10/10 totally recommend taming this massive beast. Im from Florida and i approve this Gator 👍
Don’t even go up to it unless you are a level 70 or higher. It won’t let you feed this thing until the minimum level of 70. Learned the hard way. This thing is THAT powerful.
