What are tips for deinotherium? Tips and strategies for deinotherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A better mammoth for holding wood usally about 4-4.5k is enough for inventory cap if you keep the thatch use theri with power points to father it then transfer it over the Dein and if you have the dreadmare black whole the inventory cap Dein and there ya go 25-30k wood pretty darn fast even on 1x hope it helps.you get wood for those crazy wood expensive deintherium saddles!
Shield works well for knock back
They take forever to respawn :/
Officials its like 13-14 beer for a 150. Easier to have a co-tamer with to alternate beer feeds.
The food point system for these guys is way off on Dododex. An actual 150 deino has at least 25k food.
Sometimes even when you do everything right in the taming, they might still stomp you to death. Just because they're moody like that lol. So bring a few sleeping bags with you and be patient. I also recommend wearing you best armor and bring another dino with you and let them stay not too far away. So that when the Deino stomps you, you won't die on the first hit and you can run to your tame before they kill you.
Besides being a great tank and (emotional) support creature, they're also gatherers. They can gather fiber, berries, thatch, wood (same gathering capabilities and weight reduction like the mammoth, only with more weight), meat and hide.
Why does a strictly herbivorous elephant gather meat?
...good question
Angry Grouchy Beasts. I tried to walk through a herd and they started stomping me.
Guys if this thing looks at you and spreads like it’s bouta throw down RUN he will not stop until he reaches you or he cannot reach you. I RAN ACROSS AN ENTIRE RIVER AND INTO A RANDOM BASE. the deinotherium broke the walls and got me…
They WILL agro on your tame and ruin progress.
So far with the ones I’ve tamed you can move closer when it makes a sniffing sound (not to close or it will attack) and it will take the beer from you so don’t worry about getting close enough to press any buttons
Can’t use elixir while taking!
For anyone looking for these guys, I tend to find them near rivers and the southern coast. I’ve found them near red obelisk, the northern parts of the redwoods and the river surrounding it. Hope this helps
ANY stack multiplier will make them refuse to be tamed, vanilla beer stack size is required
I was farming hide with my theri, and I saw two of these elephants, I decided to get hide from it not realising it was a max level one. I killed on of it and the other one kept chasing me and killed my theri 😭
Run far away or smack da legs don’t bring close to ur animals
Four beers on 3x for 150. High durability armor and med brews are helpful.
