A Deinotherium only deals with survivors of level 85 or higher, and only takes a Beer Jar, which has to be in your last hotbar slot. Kill the rest of its pack first, then walk up slowly and read its face. Head shaking, relaxed ears and a lowered trunk each raise the chance it accepts the next offer. If it rolls its trunk up or flattens its ears against its head it will refuse, so back off until it stops watching you and approach again: retreating costs you nothing, pushing through a refusal makes it hostile.
Only a Beer Jar works, and it has to be in your last slot.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Deinotherium is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Support category.
The Deinotherium has 1,750 base Health - extremely durable. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Deinotherium brings respectable melee power to the table. With 450 base Stamina, the Deinotherium has good endurance. It carries 800 base Weight - massive inventory space.
