What are tips for deinosuchus? Tips and strategies for deinosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Rates are incorrect took 52 Raw Prime Meat to tame a level 140 on small tribes. Finished tame was level 201.
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
Make sure to run like hell the moment you feed it. Wear ghillie and give it superior kibble
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.
They tame off of superior kibble
If you go to battle this creature, YOU NEED a dino with very high health so you dont die
PS: I made a mistake once with a low health dino
These things are ravenous! They eat a TON both when raising and sitting out as adults. Keep that in mind.
To effectively tame the Deinosuchus, the crocodilian stronger than a Rex and better equipped underwater than a Spino;
1. Look for them around the swamp biomes (at least on The Island), they usually can defeat any other Dino, so these guys are usually crawling all over the place, they’re the kings of the swamp.
2. Using FULL GHILLIE, as well as preferably bringing a shield and bug repellent, make sure to crouch walk towards the deinosuchus when it does the opening mouth animation and sitting still. Walking/Running up to it will result in getting detected, however proning is far too slow, so crouch when within 8-10 meters.
3. Using preferably kibble (as even mutton or prime meat will be slower than you’d expect) put it in your last slot and get ready to hand feed it like you would a passive tame. When you feed it, its mouth will slam shut. If you did it right, you won’t get obliterated (hold up shield in case it chomps down and you may yet survive), and there will even be a 3-4 second window where you can run preferably 20 meters away and it won’t aggro.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until tamed
ALTERNATIVE METHOD (REQUIRES A DINO LIKE THE QUETZAL OR RHYGNIOGNATHA THAT CAN PICK YP THE DEINOSUCHUS)
1. Pick the Deinosuchus of your choice with your flyer.
2. Have a pre-constructed trap box at your base or wherever you like.
3. Fly to your trap box and drop it in, make sure box is big enough.
4. Now you can easily tame it in a safe, controlled setting.
Congratulations! You have tamed one of the strongest boss killers in the game! Good luck with your taming, and don’t get chomped!

These CAN be picked up by the wyverns. I dont know about Crystal or Ice wyverns or Voidwyrms since they’re not in ASA yet but I know for a fact that Fire, Lightning and Poison wyverns can pick them up.
Get a flyer(pteranodon is enough) and put meat in your last slot, and when it opens it's mouth while not attacking anything run to it and press E(you must be level 70 to tame it)
I encountered one the other day with my Baryonyx and after it did the big damage attack and smacked us with its tail my Bary and I went sailing hiiiiiigh into the air and I forgot to jump off before I hit the ground so the Bary took major damage. Just be warned about that tail.
Hardly a challenge in a TEK suit. Feed it (while its jaws are open) and fly up in the air until it stops aggro on you and wait until it opens its mouth again..
Rates are wrong for official. Take double or triple the amount of kibble it asks for. Tamed a lvl 55 just to try it out and it took about 14 superior kibble on 2X
You have to be level 70 to even try to tame one
Easiest way to kill
1. Mount on your crocodile.
2. Giga bite.
there is a bug with their spawning, so they instead spawn where sarcos do at 1/10 of the rate
Greatest boss fighters ever because of the Giga bite show everyone that it is
