What are tips for deinosuchus? Tips and strategies for deinosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Not sure if it’s a bug but I’ve found 2 in the Snow Dome in extinction in the pond towards the west side.
This is exactly how I tamed the deino being a new ish player : used a ptero and Lured 2 deinos towards me (they aggro on almost anything that breathes with ended up one of them chasing a icthyornis far away) then hover above it waiting for it to start basking. When it open it's mouth, walk towards it feed your taming food and get the hell away. Repeat till u have a lil croccy boi :)
Use the net gun I've found it to work when I hade a pc
Survivor needs to be level 70 to tame.
They're a pretty simple tame. While wearing ghillie you just wait for it to stop and open its mouth, run up and feed it (I used extraordinary kibble) then run away as fast as possible. Flying tame recommended to be nearby for easy escape. Using cactus broth would be a good shout for avoiding agro. They lose agro pretty quickly when you get far enough away.
If you're looking to tame on on official 1x rates it should take around 15 kibble to tame and they take superior kibble as the preferred foods, Also a consistent spawn would be in the caves by the stone heinge location of the map.
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 it’s 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 won’t notice you for a few seconds as you sprint toward it or away before and after feeding. Once away, crouch and watch it, it’ll 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, it’s can’t deal damage. It’s a really easy tame. It’s stronger than a Rex and has no oxygen.
How to tame a Deinosuchus:
Find one (Beaches, Rivers, Swamps, I found mine on the beach in the southeast corner)
If it is in water, lure it out by aggroing it onto you) repeat this every time it goes into water
Wait until it opens it’s jaw, run up to it with kibble or meat and press „E“ to put it in its jaw. Instantly after pressing E, turn and run away, since it’s jaw will slam shut and it wakes up. Repeat this process until it’s tamed.
Leftclick: Regular Bite
Rightclick (Hold until 100% charged): Giga Bite, deals A TON of damage and has a short cooldown
C: Tail swing deals A TON of knockback
Hold Space: Makes it turn into the direction you are looking at
Good Luck
The other comment is right, the cooked lamb chop is not as effective as it says. Definitely better to use kibble
I tame these guys soly in a 3x3 stone trap with walls all around, once in there it won't get out. Then just run to the side so it doesn't agro and run back when it opens it's mouth (no saliva). I recommend a high level argy with loads of health for kitting it.
Takes superior kibble to tame, just walk up with ghille and put in its mouth
Rates are wrong, official took me 40+ prime to tame a lvl 90
Not sure but the taming food amount and time seem to be wrong. Checked and saw it was 9 prime for a 150 (with 5x rates) walked up and fed it and the taming only went up by 4% took around 25 pieces of prime to tame and I ended up having to go get more since I hadn't brought enough.
I would recommend only using superior kibble to tame one because prime and mutton don’t give much percent even for low levels. I would suggest getting around 10 kibble for a high level and just get it away from anything because these guys attack everything. After that use some gillie and wait until the gator opens his mouth and approach it near the neck, and feed the kibble. After you feed back away and watch it walk around until it lays down again. The great thing is these guys won’t loose there taming progress or effectiveness if they agro to you. Repeat these steps and you will have yourself one of the greatest all rounded dino’s on the island!
Try to feed and lure it towards an open area with no Dino’s near it will go so much faster. When they agro they take forever to open their mouth again
When it opens it jaw run up to the left side between its heand and left front arm feed it purple kibble and run away or jump way up to lose agro and repeat after that have fun with the new dino
Find the one you wanna tame, clear all mobs around it, especially little fliers. Once that’s done wait til it opens its mouth run up with kibble/prime with it in your last inventory slot to its head, feed it at its neckish area, run away rinse repeat new friend!
