What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
There is a ton of ways to get one of these good balls on fjordur for example
1: get any flyer locate a nest lead them away go bag and take the egg
2: lead something really strong to them and let it kill them and then just take the egg while they are fighting
3: get a fjordhawk run into a nest pick up the egg die and when you respawn the fjordhawk brings your items back including the egg
4: run up to the nest while having nothing pick up the egg jump off a cliff respawn and go get the egg from your body make sure you die when you fall
5: find a nest lead the adults away from the nest bola them and go get the egg
It's easy as that I hope this helped
U need about 13 standing torches to hatch on fordjor from my experience (I just spammed until it worked)
If you are just starting and these things are after you, (I’m sorry but you’re dead) but if you are more experienced then there is an away to explore without them coming after you. (The point is if your not trying to get an egg just run for your life before it tears you and your tame to death) ;)
Use dodos to distract them steal egg and run away I recommend 20-30 dodos
Get a flyer, agro the parents on the nest, lead them away, get out of their aggro range, fly to the nest, land, grab the egg, fly away.
Take something that does damage, kill Deinonychus, dismount your beast and grab eggs
This is what would come out If a raptor on steroids, an allosaurus and a dodo on crack had a baby.

If you have a deinonychus, it can make taming awkward flyers like argies and quetzals much easier. If you don’t want to make a trap You can latch onto the flyer from quite a distance and then pull out your tranq gun/bow. The creature will try and get away (in the case of a quetz) or attack you (in the case of and Argie, idk if they can latch onto griffins or snow owls, but both of those would attack too) but if you’re latched on, there will be no escape. Once your deinonychus runs out of stam or your targeted flyer drops, the deinonychus won’t take any fall damage. I also think it may work on a mana, but don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t. I knocked out a 150 Argie with my deinonychus and no trap, but then again, I have a 281% dmg longneck.
Be really careful with these guys, for they travel in large packs and well ambush you, and they can see you from quite far away
Good early game dino, it’s easy to get eggs for them
Did you know the Deino is the fastest dino by far? Should you mess up it's climbing jump hard enough (as I did climbing a mountain on fjordur) you can launch yourself across the map! I went from about 35 lat 95 long to about 65 lat 70 long in less than a second with this "method".
Got an egg w and argie and didn’t even get attacked. This is how
1: find a safe spot and scout for nests
2: once you have found your desired nest, wait at it, high enought so they don Agro.
3: one è the coast is clear, park ur argie at the nest
4: take the egg and get on ur argie(or other flier) AND FLY LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FLEW BEFORE
5: get a few standing torches n stuff. The temp they need to hatch is the same as a wyvern!!!!!! (85-84)
6:feed it n imprint I as much as u can
7:lv it up when grown
WHAM BAM U GOT A BOSS KILLER MA’AM!
To get the egg just grab it and run away as these things will absloutely abbliterate a wooley rhino which is really strong level 150
I LOVE THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best strategy for any map is fly over and jump off your flyer then grapple hook to a tree and net gun them, it takes some practice but got 4 eggs in about 5 minutes with this, spread the good word
Run away screaming then respawn
Came across a nest while exploring Valguero with my wyvern. Stayed on my mount and watched the adults for a few minutes -- they didn't even notice us. Hopped off, snagged the egg, and now I'm raising a lil red beauty.
Does anyone know if nests are spawning on console? Looked for about thirty minutes and couldn’t find one.
