Had a strong melee and tail whip. Has a super strong charge attack that des great damage. Stats scale well too!

This mount provides you with oxygen like the Diplocaulus. If you dismount this Dino in the water, it’s highly suggested to have it in follow or it will resurface.

It’s a passive kibble tame (superior). While on land, wait for it to lay and open its mouth (basking) sneak up and feed. Then run away as it will aggro. Let

It reset and repeat

Helps to get the info out there!

Wait for it to lay down and open its mouth. Walk up to its mouth and feed it with meat. (I haven’t tested the kibble it likes yet but I assume it’s extraordinary) when you feed it, it will snap its jaws shut before getting back up, giving you a few seconds to back away.

I recommend bringing a ghillie suit and cactus broth if you can.

I used to be afraid of the ocean biome in this game. But after getting this bad boy??? NOT ANYMORE.

Say hello to your brand spanking new and indispensable sea mount! This creature is no joke at all. That giga bite is also not to be trifled with and can be used to DEVASTATING effect. I have been caught in the middle of swarms of Megalodon and Plesiosaurs multiple times and this animal hung in there and took care of them pretty dang well. Deinosuchus can and will kill Mosaurus as well but watch out for those high level ones of course! This mega gator also dispatches alphas pretty easily (Alpha Raptors are a nonissue but it takes way more effort to kill a high level Alpha Meg though. Proceed with caution!).

I recommend pumping up health and melee and maybe some weight especially if you’re doing any expeditions and away from your base for a bit. The higher the level you can find, the better! My strongest one has around 70k+ health and around 600 melee and he is the goat.

Tldr; Wildcard, please NEVER nerf this thing.

If your not looking to make a trap for this beast,the best thing to do is get your argy and land near as its mouth is opened(NOT WHEN IT IS CHARGING A GIGA BITE).I recommend full ghillie and have superior or better kibble.Crouch towards it and feed it near the mouth.If it doesn’t instantly tame run back to your argy and repeat.Hopes this helps!

It got nerfed , the giga bite used to give an effect for about like 10 seconds that takes a percentage of your health whenever you move , that's why it could easily solo the alpha manticore, nunatak and the dragon because they move a lot but it doesn't work for bosses anymore they're still really strong would rather take them over rexes

This is an absolutely amazing tame to have at any stage in the game.

To tame you just have to get ghille and sneak up on it while it sunbathes. They just put the food in its mouth.

Once tamed it has incredible health, and damage.

The normal bite is very powerful but if you charge up a giga bite, it will do over 3 times the damage.

You can use them for underwater travel as well as exploring the swamps.

Overall I really recommend getting the giant gator, trust me you’ll love it

-Gator Tamer

This might be one of if not my favourite ark creatures in the whole game it’s amazing and pretty easy to tame it’s extremely bulky and does insane melee damage for best levels ragnarok is the best map found in any swamp biome to tame it full ghille works best but can be done by simply crouching wait for it to open its mouth. Be aware of its giga bite attack if it opens its mouth while chasing you don’t go near it instead try and lead it to something else it will attack basically anything. The only downside to the deinosuchus is its saddle is unlocked at level 74. It’s my favourite for getting tributes for boss fights it can 1v1 brontos and rexes if you have good melee and health and it can also swim meaning it can get both water and on land tributes.
