Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinosuchus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinosuchus.
Make sure to run like hell the moment you feed it. Wear ghillie and give it superior kibble
They tame off of superior kibble
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!

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)
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
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.

The swamp on Rag is crawling with these guys I found eight in one trip just make sure to trap them when your taming so they don’t roam around killing everything they see or get killed
You need a ghillie set. And a tame to help you clear hostile dinos. Which will help you farm prime meat. I simply kept feeding it prime meat until it was tamed. Depending how fast the intervals are, you still get 96%-98% taming efficiency
They will aggro onto everything so do your best to keep the area clear.
If you are trying to tame one on the center if it is near the snow area I suggest bringing it towards the lower part because there are little dinos near it and the deinosuchus should be able to kill anything that might mess with you. Once you do this bring it towards rocks and it should get stuck and should be very easy to tame as long as you have kibble.
When you go up to feed it just look at its body or neck and spam the feed button
Tried quetz pick up and had no luck.
Crockrodile like the lil pokemon guy
Use ghillie armor, superior kibble or better. Put kibble on last slot. Clear area of other creatures so it won’t disturb your taming or lure it someplace else for taming.
1. Wait for it to bask, takes like around 10 seconds or more to open its jaws.
2. When basking walk up to its mouth and feed it the kibble
3. Ghillie will keep you hidden when you feed deino so it won’t chase you.
4. Rinse and repeat till tame
Happy taming! - Xeno
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 :)
Use the net gun I've found it to work when I hade a pc
Survivor needs to be level 70 to tame.
They're a pretty simple tame. While wearing ghillie you just wait for it to stop and open its mouth, run up and feed it (I used extraordinary kibble) then run away as fast as possible. Flying tame recommended to be nearby for easy escape. Using cactus broth would be a good shout for avoiding agro. They lose agro pretty quickly when you get far enough away.
