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 didnโt 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 ๐
I wonโt recommend the deinosuchus over the basilosaurus but Iโve 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, theyโre 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, DONโT aggro any dunkleosteus at all cost and avoid the Xiphactinus if you can help it! Do this and you should be fine.
It will be an official creature later on this year.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
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 youโre 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.
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, itโs highly suggested to have it in follow or it will resurface.
Itโs 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!
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 youโll love it

Use superior kibble and ghillie. When you find one you want to tame, make sure everything around it is dead (other deinosuchus can be left, but itโs more dangerous if they are left). Put on ghillie and watch until it lays down, body straight, and opens its mouth. Sprint to its mouth (directly to its mouth) and feed it, then sprint away. In full ghillie it wonโt notice you for a few seconds as you sprint toward it or away before and after feeding. Once away, crouch and watch it, itโll move a few meters and walk a little bit before laying down and basking. Rinse and repeat until tamed. If something it can kill is nearby it will aggro and attack it. Do not be afraid of it closing its mouth after you feed it, itโs canโt deal damage. Itโs a really easy tame. Itโs stronger than a Rex and has no oxygen.
Jellyfish will dismount you. But the deino on neutral will eat them
