Deinotherium — Detailed Guide

The Deinotherium is a prehistoric elephant with downward-curved tusks, added to ASA in 2025. It is a tanky mount that hits carnivores hard, buffs nearby allies and works as a strong harvester.

Where to find it

It lives on beaches and grasslands. It is most common on Lost Colony, and also spawns on Astraeos, Extinction, The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Genesis: Part 1, Valguero and Scorched Earth.

Taming

  • Method: a passive tame that needs player level 85.
  • Food: a Beer Jar. Approach slowly with it on your hotbar.
  • Timing: offer the beer once it has shown all three moods (head shaking, ear flapping and trunk swinging) without curling its trunk or hiding its ears.

Breeding

A live-birth creature. Gestation takes about 7.9 hours, and a baby takes about 7.7 days to mature at 1x.

Uses

  • Harvesting: berries, thatch and wood, with reduced weight on wood.
  • Combat: its trunk swipe ignores much of a target's armor, and it deals extra damage to carnivores.
  • Support: a male's rally call boosts allies' damage and a female's boosts damage resistance.

Tips

The saddle needs level 85. Males near other males stop using rally calls, so mix sexes in a group.
