Tips & Strategies

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 π

!IMPORTANT!
When the deinosuchus IS showing saliva DONT GO ITS a trap
Thanks for looking the tipπ
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 didnβt 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 are similar to recession but with a powerful charge attack and bleed , which makes it good for boss fights
It will be an official creature later on this year.πππππππ
This is a super strong dino, Much like a Rex in terms of stats and stat increase per level. Giga bite on official with 660melee does over 1800 damage. I have used one of these to kill mosa, plesi swarms, tuso and alpha tuso.
It has excellent utility as you can use weapons when riding this dino, Both on land and underwater, it is much slower on land but about on par with the Rex walk speed when sprinting, perhaps a little faster.
They also have pretty good weight too making it ideal companion game when farming with an angler ect.
This beast can also turn on a dime with a speed that puts most reining horses to shame, The tail gives a decent amount of knock back too.
Using a breeding pair of these (mutton tamed) with 70 arm saddles levelled to almost 700md with 15.3k hp to get to wave 5 on an alpha element node on extinction, if you bring a daedon youβll be laughing π«‘ Fox
I wonβt recommend the deinosuchus over the basilosaurus but Iβve been using these guys to go into the underwater caves on the island and have found success in getting their artifacts. If you try these guys out, make sure their stats are good, theyβre imprinted and give them the best saddle you can manage. While in the caves, kill any jellyfish that get too close before they stun you, use the maga-bite to help clear out swarms of creatures, DONβT aggro any dunkleosteus at all cost and avoid the Xiphactinus if you can help it! Do this and you should be fine.
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, itβs highly suggested to have it in follow or it will resurface.
Itβs 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!
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 youβre 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.
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 youβll love it
