Tips & Strategies
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.

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. Itβll chomp down if you do it right, sometimes the prompt doesnβt 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

Ok so I'm still in the very early game and I'm out on my para and I see a deino kinda close to the base out in the ocean, it wasn't close enough to be a threat but I was still worried. Later I get a spyglass and look at it... it's level 150... I'm planing to move my base and eventually tame it. I'll give an update once I do - ConnorTheRaptor
These are immune to leaches and kapros. Highly recommend taming.
For those curious, yes you can drop deinosuchus in a pen and still passive tame it. I just tamed a level 140 this way in ASA, using a quetzal to airlift. Pen was 3x3 and 2 walls high (I switched the walls to single doorways, don't know if that mattered). About half its body will clip out of the pen, so you can access the head without going inside the pen.
It would hiss, open its mouth, and I'd come up near its head from the side to feed it quickly. Once you're close enough to the head look back towards its neck/body a little to see the Feed prompt. It chomps down when you feed it, then tries to chase you. Just step away from the pen and wait for it to settle down. Wait for it to hiss and open its mouth again. Rinse and repeat.
Only issue I had was the gator sat there completely motionless for several minutes until I went near her and got her to aggro and move around a bit.
People reading this, heres a simple and nice guide to tame a deinosuchus!
1. Find a deinosuchus that you want to tame
2. Either use superior kibble or exceptional as those are the best taming food (Other taming food is fine)
3. Get its aggro on you and lead it to land, make sure you have a dino that can handle those bites!
4. Once it sits down and opens its mouth, With ghilli armor go up to the deinosuchus (Make sure you have your taming food on the last slot of your hotbar) Press Y for xbox, triangle for PS, E for keyboard and mouse to feed the deinosuchus.
5. Keep doing it over again until your deinosuchus is tamed!
Hope this was helpful ππ
If you plan on breeding these make sure you have plenty of meat they eat like gigas
Most nerve-racking tame EVER.
Wait for it to open its mouth, go to it with gillie suit, put food in far right hot bar, spam feed, then run away when it slams its mouth shut. Repeat until tamed. :) enjoy your new swamp puppy
