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!

Taming these actually isn't too hard if you know the method. I personally had the assistance of a Tropical Crystal Wyvern, though. Quick heads up: They WILL attack Crystal Wyverns on their own, and likely many other fliers (eg Argentavis, Maewing, Pteranodon.) This tip also includes controls, if you have the default ones.

Wear Ghillie, and find your croc. They're bigger than a Sarco and their head shape is different. Have your taming food (I used mutton, I don't remember which kibble they like) in your last item slot. When it lays down with it's mouth open, sneak up to it's head and feed it. You'll know its been fed if it's mouth closes abruptly. Then, RUN, preferably back to a flier. It has a short animation/roar after being fed which gives you time to run. Repeat until tamed.

It doesn't need an interval or to have it's food drain, it can be fed every time it lays down with it's mouth open. Please don't try fight them in the wild! A 135 did over 700 damage and a nasty bleed to my Wyvern with it's Giga-bite. Just avoid them, unless taming.

Controls (PC)

Left click: Normal melee

Right click (hold and release:) Giga-bite

C: Tailwhip. Stuns things and knocks them back.

Space: Seems to be turn on the spot in the direction the camera is facing.

Left control: Roar, no special effect.

With their left click, they can turn immediately like a Sarco.

An excellent mount for the hard underwater cave. It can stealth through most of the cave by staying close to the ceiling, and go on land without aggroing anything there.

When fighting, make sure you turn the croc's head towards the enemies to halve the damage your tame receives.

Building a trap for it is quite easy. a 4 by 4 foundation, line it with doorframes and ramps. once it basks feed it with mutton or prime meat if you dont have kibble. After about 20-30 minutes its tamed.

If you have a good enough ghillie suit the deino will never aggro on you. Makes things a lot quicker.

If your on ase and have these guys on the server, they can be netted, and will still open they’re mouth for feeding. You can get in about 3 feeds before you have to run to create some distance. Even when aggrod, they will still open they’re mouth for taming, just watch out for the giga bite, as it can still use it a couple seconds after being netted. If your on asa, I’d recommend aground one, leading it to a large open area with no water. De render it and proceed with the regular taming method, but only approach FROM THE FRONT, they will aggro if you do. As far as I know, nothing can carry them. Maybe tek skiffs, but I’m not sure. That should be all surrounding them, they do have three varieties in ase, regular, abb and x, and paleo if you use paleo ark. I recommend kibble no matter what, as even mutton takes forever, hopes this helps!

Can they go in boss arenas?

They can outswim rafts, and are very hateful creatures. They will chase you to the end of the earth.

On official it’s 7% each feed on 1x rates, it takes roughly 14 superior kibble to tame a 150. The egg incubation is 2.5hrs on 1x rates.

Took 50 raw mutton for a 120 on X2 taming speed.

Did not need ghillie juat wait till it passively opens its mouth and throw the mutton in.

Place the mutton in the last slot like other passive tames.

Don't try to feed if it's in aggro mode.

These spawn on Astraeos too I believe, I've only seen one. If anyone has a better location for them on Astraeos please share lol

Run at it feed run away

From it

Their Not in ark mobile also Not in the revamp!

Net gun does work I tried it myself

So I’ve come to learn that these guys are insanely OP, and wanted to include a few in my boss army. So I started breeding them.

Word to the wise though: they eat an insane amount of food when they’re being raised. I think I had 2 carnos and 5 deino’s with 6 full troughs of cooked meat.

They didn’t even last 12 hours. 2 of the crocs and 0 of the carno’s managed to survive. So just keep in mind when breeding: for whatever reason they need a ton of food. More than a Rex seems like.

Giga bite can take out anything

Equip ghillie and walk up to its mouth while it's opening its mouth and feed it kibble then run away, rinse and repeat until tamed. Literally the quickest and easiest 'apex dino' tame ever

I tried to knock out take it with a stick and saw 0 damage

simply build 4 stone gate open gates and place a large bear trap in the middle. lure it to the trap, close 4 gates then u can tame it without sweat

On rag official, a lvl 135 takes 7 extraordinary kibble at around 15% each hit
