Tips & Strategies
Wait for it to lay down and open its mouth. Walk up to its mouth and feed it with meat. (I haven’t tested the kibble it likes yet but I assume it’s extraordinary) when you feed it, it will snap its jaws shut before getting back up, giving you a few seconds to back away.
I recommend bringing a ghillie suit and cactus broth if you can.
They spawn near the river of green obelisk
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, it’s highly suggested to have it in follow or it will resurface.
It’s 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!
Make sure to run like hell the moment you feed it. Wear ghillie and give it superior kibble
I forgot to write this in my last tip, remember to crouch when sneaking up. - RUGER5264
They tame off of superior kibble
They replace sarcos when spawing so be careful in chitin cave or you might run into the Jaws of a 150 big ol gater that. Also their tails a currently bugged in asa so just follow the black pillars that appear randomly
They are aggressive toward basically every other wild tame. They are very easily distracted. Be careful near them, they can turn and trap you under them so easily. This is also risky when taming.
They also have "hardened" and melee weapons are basically useless against them.
Once you find one, get it trapped where it can't see other dinos. Very aggro to everything else.
Once trapped, put on full ghillie. Put superior kibble (or meat of some kind) in last hotbar slot. Wait for it to bask (mouth wide open, not moving). Then walk up to sides of its mouth and look towards its neck. Feed then back off a bit. It will aggro to you after every feed. Wants feed basically right away when it basks again.

there is a bug with their spawning, so they instead spawn where sarcos do at 1/10 of the rate
Their stats are actually amazing. Low points in even HP still yield awesome stats. They are definitely boss worthy. Just need to obtain a good saddle BP if your server/cluster has them added to the loot pool. Might seem clumsy on last but they trap and overpower basically any other dino/boss.
Takes superior kibble to tame, just walk up with ghille and put in its mouth
Survivor needs to be level 70 to tame.
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!
Tried quetz pick up and had no luck.
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 :)
