What are tips for deinosuchus? Tips and strategies for deinosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It got nerfed , the giga bite used to give an effect for about like 10 seconds that takes a percentage of your health whenever you move , that's why it could easily solo the alpha manticore, nunatak and the dragon because they move a lot but it doesn't work for bosses anymore they're still really strong would rather take them over rexes
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
A lot of u guys have been asking how to breed and raise these, and u will be happy to know that i will explain the simple process of raising dienos.
STEP 1: find and tame a male and female dieno of your desired level( reference to my previous tip on taming).
STEP 2: once tamed get the two beasts next to each other and initiate the taming process,( hold triangle on ps and y on xbox), qand scroll to enable mating on both.
STEP 3: whait for the female to lay the egg, (u can see the progress when approaching the female.)( i have noticed the egg is usually under the female).
STEP 4: pick up the egg, ( u will probobly have to move the female dieno to access the egg) place the egg next to 2 or more ac units connected to a generator.
STEP 5: wait for the egg to hatch, and once hatched, every minute or so the baby dieno will ask for some food, which u put in your last hotbar slot and feed when prompted,( i recommend giving it the food it wants, since i gives better stats, but it is not neccessary. However u HAVE to give it a LOT of meat so it survives. IT EATS A LOT!
So thats the simple way to raise a deino, hope this helped

Ps sorry for saying 67 in my last tip
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!
DO NOT USE COOKED LAMB CHOPS, it says it's better, and takes less, but that is a lie, I tried and it gave it like 0.7 taming per bite.
Don’t let it give you a love nibble
Ever wonder why no one uses anything but superior kibble?
BECAUSE IT TAKES HUNDREDS OF FOOD TO TAME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.
Dododex lies
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.
When I first started ark acended I was horrible and just explored and this guy was my doom he kills you easily with his 3 crazy attacks be careful around him as he’ll randomly strike
If your not looking to make a trap for this beast,the best thing to do is get your argy and land near as its mouth is opened(NOT WHEN IT IS CHARGING A GIGA BITE).I recommend full ghillie and have superior or better kibble.Crouch towards it and feed it near the mouth.If it doesn’t instantly tame run back to your argy and repeat.Hopes this helps!
I used to be afraid of the ocean biome in this game. But after getting this bad boy??? NOT ANYMORE.
Say hello to your brand spanking new and indispensable sea mount! This creature is no joke at all. That giga bite is also not to be trifled with and can be used to DEVASTATING effect. I have been caught in the middle of swarms of Megalodon and Plesiosaurs multiple times and this animal hung in there and took care of them pretty dang well. Deinosuchus can and will kill Mosaurus as well but watch out for those high level ones of course! This mega gator also dispatches alphas pretty easily (Alpha Raptors are a nonissue but it takes way more effort to kill a high level Alpha Meg though. Proceed with caution!).
I recommend pumping up health and melee and maybe some weight especially if you’re doing any expeditions and away from your base for a bit. The higher the level you can find, the better! My strongest one has around 70k+ health and around 600 melee and he is the goat.
Tldr; Wildcard, please NEVER nerf this thing.
How to tame deinosuchus wait for it sleep WITH mouth open the feed reapeat
This might be one of if not my favourite ark creatures in the whole game it’s amazing and pretty easy to tame it’s extremely bulky and does insane melee damage for best levels ragnarok is the best map found in any swamp biome to tame it full ghille works best but can be done by simply crouching wait for it to open its mouth. Be aware of its giga bite attack if it opens its mouth while chasing you don’t go near it instead try and lead it to something else it will attack basically anything. The only downside to the deinosuchus is its saddle is unlocked at level 74. It’s my favourite for getting tributes for boss fights it can 1v1 brontos and rexes if you have good melee and health and it can also swim meaning it can get both water and on land tributes.
Best spot I could find them in on the island is the western region of the swamp where there’s less trees and more water. Cords (69, 23)
This is an absolutely amazing tame to have at any stage in the game.
To tame you just have to get ghille and sneak up on it while it sunbathes. They just put the food in its mouth.
Once tamed it has incredible health, and damage.
The normal bite is very powerful but if you charge up a giga bite, it will do over 3 times the damage.
You can use them for underwater travel as well as exploring the swamps.
Overall I really recommend getting the giant gator, trust me you’ll love it
-Gator Tamer
I tried to knock out take it with a stick and saw 0 damage
Passive tame! Superior kibble or better works best.
Wait for it to make a hissing sound and it will sit there with mouth open. Then run up to its mouth and throw kibble/meat in. It’ll chomp down then aggro on you. Run away, wait, and repeat :)

I forgot to write this in my last tip, remember to crouch when sneaking up. - RUGER5264
