What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To the person asking how to use its climb on console, ah, great question, i am very edumacated in this topic. So, if it hasnt changed, if you jump towards a surface, the deino will latch on. From there, look up and jump again, and it will go up, aslong as your deino actually works, mine has been a bit bugged lately.

If you have no dinos just put everything in speed if you do getting any eggs will be easy I was able to get 5 egg in jus a few minutes
There are 2 steps to this
Step 1:use a usless animal as bait to anger it.
Step 2:go in gille suit and grab the egg
All you need to do to tame one, is you just have tame a ptera or other flyer, lure them away from nest (they hardly do that much dmg in the wild, as they don't use their strongest attack) snatch an egg, hatch using multiple fires of any kind, ac's will work as well. Once you hatch them, these little buggers EAT, and you will need a large food supply. They do not eat anything special, just give them some raw meat, and they'll be fine. When you manage to grow them fully, which does not take very long, they grow rather fast, they are rather op. They are faster than a raptor, they have a stacking bleed effect making them op in packs, and have an ability to jump on the back of larger prey, and start feasting on them before they even die, which applies stacks of bleed damage.
It can climb on almost any surface or Dino and has insane accuracy on players. MOVE OVER ROCK DRAKE
Here’s how I get one I lure something that they Agro like couple parasaurs with rare flowers to lure them away and then steal the eggs when there distracted and run
Ps: I used raptor with speed leveled in
Stole an egg on Fjordur, was trying to position campfires and the such for awhile to get temp right. Then I remembered swamp island is hotter than the rest of locales. Flew there and in castle set up ten standing torches inside a wood building as well as a dimetrodon on each side of egg. Worked for me. Standing torches set up along one side of egg in a straight line. Hope this helps.
I see tons is nests in vannaland south in fjordur
Get a pteranadon and find a nest. Land on a rock near the nests that they can't reach you on, but that your pteranadon can reach them from. The pteranadon can attack things from surprisingly far away. When that are all dead, claim your eggs. If there are no rocks to do this on, literally just land, dismount, grab the egg, mount, and leave, all as fast as you can.
It is just so easy.
you can't tame them by knocking them out, BUT they have low torpor so if you have a good eqqus you can kick em a couple times til they're out, then kill them and steal the eggs
There are multiple strategies to stealing a deinonychus egg. 1: (solo) fly in with a pteranodon or argentavis and go low and grab the egg and fly before any grab you (this is the riskiest method but still pretty safe) 2: (solo) fly with an argent and drop a creature who can tank hits on passive farther away from the nest and then lead the deinonychus to it and grab an egg while they are distracted. 3: (2 or more people) have your other people distract the deinonychus while you grab an egg and fly away. 4: ( risky solo) run in with tons of bolas and bola all of them, grab an egg and run. 5: ( solo) build a trap, lead then into the trap, and then grab as many eggs as you want. Those are the five I normally use depending on where I am in the game to give you guys options.
If you’re a beginner please don’t spawn in chalk hills zone 2
Grab the egg and peg it on a flying Dino
Really the easiest way to steal the eggs is to grab a pteranodon, and get the deinonychuses aggroed on you, and you get them to chase you either off a cliff or aggro it onto another wild dino, then take the egg. If you dont have those options you could wait till the deinos wander away from the egg or kill them yourself. (theyre pretty easy to kill with a high level pteranodon as long as its not a huge pack)
Take as long to hatch as a wyvern.
Have a Tapejara, one guy rides it, one guy goes front seat with a whip, just fly to any nest and whip the egg, easy way to steal eggs without being in trouble. Same goes to a Griffin but the rider can do both things.
On Fjordur, use a pteradon to lure the Deinons off a cliff before stealing their eggs.
