Tips & Strategies

What are tips for deinosuchus? Tips and strategies for deinosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Run fast. Shove food up butt. Run away.
ONLY USE SUPERIOR KIBBLE!!! I tried using cooked mutton on a lvl 110 and got 0.4% per mutton during a 2x event. Used superior kibble and got about 17% per kibble on the same deinonychus. Canโt recommend any other food after that experience!
Tip for taming: Y'know how you have to run up to the deinosuchus to feed it? We'll, first of all you don't need ghillie for that, just be quick - in and out. But the real tip: When a deinosuchus opens it's mouth, only go to feed it when the mouth is static. If it's head is shaking and vibrating, it's a giga bite.
LISTEN!!! These are better than Rexes and spinos combined, hear me out.
Number 1: They donโt have an oxygen stat which means they will get extra lvls into other stats like melee and health.
Number 2: They have the giga bite which does something similar to the bleed from giga and thylas.
Number 3: They are easy to find and tame because they spawn near rivers and the swamp plus they are passive tamed with superior kibble which can be made with moschops eggs/large eggs.
Standard traps donโt work. It has to be able to move around in order for the food to drain and to be able to be fed again.
So if you are trying to tame this guy and are tired of your gilly brecking get some good flack and feed and run away have it fight some other things and then go back and repeat
You can find Deinosuchus primarily in the swamp biome. Hereโs the best way to tame one:
1. Find a high level one
2. Pick a spot near them use as your taming grounds
3. Clear out the trees and all creatures (they will distract the deino between feedings)
4. Grab the deinoโs aggro with your flyer and lead it to the cleared space, then fly straight up
5. Collect prime meat from nearby animals (they spoil faster in your inventory than your flyerโs
6. Wait for the deino to stop, sit down, and open its mouth with a hissing sound
7. Then land your flyer (leave it in passive mode), approach the deinoโs mouth from the side and feed it the prime meat (do not touch it!)
8. Quickly run back to your flyer and go up the avoid being bitten
9. Repeat steps 5 - 8 until tamed
P.S. Accidentally attacking or aggroing the deino wonโt lower taming efficiency
This don't spawn on ASE without mods ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
They just spawn in ASA to spawn in ASE you needs mods
Just tried to tame a level 24 on the island but it says you need to be at least level 70 to feed it. Such a shame, I couldn't see any other tips saying this, not sure if it's the case for everyone, I play on Xbox if that helps
Shoot in the head and stab Iโm the heart
Pronunciation mate here!
It's die-no-suck-us
You can tame this guy with a net gun no I'm not joking I've done it
This might be the only creature worth actually crafting kibble for (superior is needed). The process is super tedious, and even with full ghilly armor theyโll often notice you, so the kibble can sometimes let you do it in one go.
This Dino really doesnโt feel polished, especially on its head I feel like it should really be more polished and less choppy
One useful tip: Ghillie doesnโt seem to work on this big guy. One master tip: Avoid the swamp altogether.
Easiest way to make it tamed:
Tell it your a dentist then put food in its mouth
If you're ever doubting their titanosaur killing abilities, don't. They can eat titanosaurs for breakfast with their crazy overpowered "giga bite"
Want to tame them to try? Here's how.
First of all, I'm currently playing ark ascended and for some odd reason their built-in game variant require you to be lvl. 70 to feed and tame. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฟ, ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฟ, ๐ผ๐พ๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐พ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ 70 ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐.

If you wanna go in without preparation, you can, but it will take a lot of time, also, don't feed it raw meat, it'l take ages. I'd recommend prime meat or mutton, or, of course it's favorite kibble if you can make it
If you do not want to grind for kibble, then it's ok. As long as you have a dino that can kill everything surrounding the deinosuchus, you're fine (the things you should be killing are ones that you can get prime meat from.) They live in the swamp, and swamps have a lot of dinosaurs that drop prime meat.

Ok, so for this, I'd advice you use ghillie, but if you don't have ghillie, it's alright!
So, when the deinosuchus is basking (opening it's mouth wide) go to its head. don't be scared, it has horrible aggro range when it's basking. It can't even detect you if you're crouching. Then you should see a text pop up saying "feed [taming food]" Or something on the lines of that, or simply, if you see a cyan text pop up while you're near it's head spam E. Repeat this till you get a deinosuchus.
Now that was boring. Everyone knows how to tame one. Easy. Feed and run. That's all.
BUUUT I'll tell you a fun fact: Deinosuchus had a bite force rivaling the t Rex, or hell, even beating it. With a bite force of ~23,300 PSI. Making deinosuchus literally have the strongest bite force of all time, also their tail swipes in ascended can send baryonyxes and kaprosuchus flying. Try it out.
Also, here's how you can tell when it's about to bask
I'm in ark ascended, so this might differ in evolved.
But 1:It stops moving, it lays it's body flat
2:Its head kind of looks at you, or looks away from you. ORR it's head moves to the left/right, this happens at almost the same time it stops moving
3: You can hear this kind of far away, but it hisses
Also. If you see saliva while it's basking: as said by the other guy: IT'S A TRAP!
They actually do spawn on extinction I just tamed one in the snow zone
To tame it, you have to feed meat to it!
