How ARK players tame and knock out the Deinosuchus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Deinosuchus is a MASSIVE crocodile found in swamps and in some rivers. They have 3 attacks and 2 in water. One, the normal bite attack does decent damage, the second attack, the tail swipe does NOT work underwater, but on land it does insane knockback. The third and final…

Listen up...

These guys are the absolute best mount for the island. There is almost nothing that can kill these things if you have high level. I take this guy around the map to water caves and for alpha tuso and mosasaur and they didn't stand a chance. I also recommend…

Put food in last slot and feed it after it opens its mouth and hisses. It’ll chomp down if you do it right, sometimes the prompt doesn’t work but you can still feed it. Then run away and wait about 30sec and try again. If your not dying your doing it right. Good luck

First, make sure you are the proper level, because remember; you are only able to feed them once you reach Lvl 70. Next, you want to get on a pteranadon and brew up some exceptional kibble, because let’s be honest here; who wants to wait several hours for your prime meat…

These guys are amazing, they can even fight bosses, but if you dont have kibble you need +100 prime meat or mutton, which would take way too long.

Don’t even go up to it unless you are a level 70 or higher. It won’t let you feed this thing until the minimum level of 70. Learned the hard way. This thing is THAT powerful.

For those curious, yes you can drop deinosuchus in a pen and still passive tame it. I just tamed a level 140 this way in ASA, using a quetzal to airlift. Pen was 3x3 and 2 walls high (I switched the walls to single doorways, don't know if that mattered). About half its…

These are immune to leaches and kapros. Highly recommend taming.

Ok so I'm still in the very early game and I'm out on my para and I see a deino kinda close to the base out in the ocean, it wasn't close enough to be a threat but I was still worried. Later I get a spyglass and look at it... it's level 150... I'm…

People reading this, heres a simple and nice guide to tame a deinosuchus!

1. Find a deinosuchus that you want to tame

2. Either use superior kibble or exceptional as those are the best taming food (Other taming food is fine)

3. Get its aggro on you and lead it to land…

If you plan on breeding these make sure you have plenty of meat they eat like gigas

when i tamed one of these, i noticed something. some of the times it opened its mouth, its jaws were still. other times it had, they were shaking. when its jaws shook, I couldn't feed it.

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.…

Ever wonder why no one uses anything but superior kibble?

BECAUSE IT TAKES HUNDREDS OF FOOD TO TAME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.

Dododex lies

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.

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…

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

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 :)
