Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinotherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinotherium.
Officials its like 13-14 beer for a 150. Easier to have a co-tamer with to alternate beer feeds.
They're a passive tame, just watch for the three signs of taming them: ears are spread out in front, their trunk moving side to side and they'll shake their heads. Then boom, tamed dino.
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.

They WILL agro on your tame and ruin progress.

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
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!
ANY stack multiplier will make them refuse to be tamed, vanilla beer stack size is required
Four beers on 3x for 150. High durability armor and med brews are helpful.
It takes 5 beer on 3x ..just takes a 150 ..dododex is wrong with 2
This dino takes 15 beers for a 150 to tame on 1x. It takes 10 beer for a 140. This dino is great farmer for berries, thatch, and wood. It’s very similar to the mammoth but better at getting berries since it’s stomp is all around its body not just ahead of it. Use a shield when taming incase it stomps you, you won’t get hit.
Really easy, like some else has mentioned each animation has a percentage, I do not want to take away from his message so see his to learn these percentages. Do not approach if ears are pinned or trunk is rolled to a side. If they aren’t in a favorable place (jungle) you can hit them as their taking effectiveness will not go down, just simply make sure you are out of Agro once they are in the area you prefer.
Just go to YouTube. Short 1:30 vid. They have animations you have to look for and a certain time slot required to give them the beer.
On a 150 I used 1 Beer and it did 8% for everyone tryna match it out
**This tip is only for people having trouble on an unofficial server/cluster that has a resource stacking mod and have not been able to get taming progression:
- craft your own beer
- split your stack to singles and put one in your hot bar at a time.
If you're following the taming process from content creators, you should now be able to tame one.
*Beer from drops did not work, so I dumped all of them and just crafted my own.
Successfully tamed one with 3 consecutive beers.
Prepare to be annoyed when taming these. Always assume the first animation doesn't count and always allow for the percentage to exceed 100%. These things are liars and the amount of time I've been stomped on when there at 100% had started to piss me off.
When their ears are folded back just move away 50 or more meters and then try again.
Head shake 15%
Ear flap 35%
Trunk swing 50%
Only come near with a Rhynio, Deinosuchus, or any strong dino that packs a mean punch.
Use very high armor. (your strongest armor it can be primitive if you don’t have anything higher)
First wipe out the low levels you don’t want and single out the one you want. (I would recommend a strong Rex, Rhynio, or Deinosuchus for this)
Once you have singled the one you want you can now start taming after the first time it shakes its trunk it will either fold its ears (angry) or flap (happy) and also it’ll shake its trunk if it does this 2 times and more then just go for it idk the amount of trust with each animation tho so search that up
Anyway this thing will pack a big punch I personally think it’s worthy of crushing the overseer
Btw if using for bosses then ride a male deinotherium with a yuty following and auto couraging it will help alot
