Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Deinosuchus in ARK Survival Ascended you do not knock it out: wait until it is basking on the shore with its mouth open, sneak up and put food in its mouth. Superior Kibble is the best choice; after that, Raw Mutton or Raw Prime Meat.<\/p>\n

The Deinosuchus is a huge crocodile made for ARK Survival Ascended. It bites very hard, has armor that shrugs off arrows and melee, and its charged bite breaks bones. It is an excellent fighting mount on land and in water.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Deinosuchus step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Put Superior Kibble or fresh meat (Raw Mutton or Raw Prime Meat) in the last hotbar slot.<\/li>\n
  2. Wear a Ghillie Suit: it makes sneaking up much easier.<\/li>\n
  3. Find a Deinosuchus lying on the bank with its mouth open and approach slowly, without getting too close.<\/li>\n
  4. When the prompt appears, press E to put the food in its mouth.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep feeding it while its mouth is open until the tame completes, and clear predators from the area first.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Where to find the Deinosuchus in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It is a giant crocodile that swims in swamps, rivers and the sea, and lies on the banks to ambush prey. On The Island it is common around the swamp. Look for one lying on the shore with its mouth open: that is your chance to tame it.<\/p>\n
