Tips & Strategies

I won’t recommend the deinosuchus over the basilosaurus but I’ve 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, they’re 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, DON’T aggro any dunkleosteus at all cost and avoid the Xiphactinus if you can help it! Do this and you should be fine.

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.
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 👍
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
