Tips & Strategies

I only suggest 2 places for this thing: The sandstone cliffs of Valguero, and the redwoods of any map. The only competition that it has in these two places are the thylacoleo and the rock drake. I have no experience with the rock drake, but here is the competition between the thylacoleo and the dienenechus. The deinenechus, on the cliffs, is in its natural habitat. It was meant for those cliffs, and they give it large tactical advantages that the thylacoleo does not have. Around these cliffs spawn large creatures that the deinonychus, unlike the thylacoleo, can pounce. The dienenechus also takes no fall damage and can jump far higher. In the redwoods, the thylacoleo is at home. It has smaller creatures that the thylacoleo, unlike the dienenechus, can pounce. The thylacoleo can also run up trees and slide down them, while the deinonychus has to jump. The deinonychus, however, can stick to non-mesh trees, and can jump from tree to tree, which is difficult on a thylacoleo. Part 2 soon.

Deinonychus: all you need to know
The deinonychus is a raptor-like carnivore best used in packs of at least 3. They do a bleed effect that can stack, so having multiple deinonychus will be no less than deadly to any enemies. You canβt actually tame a deinonychus in the wild due to their high intelligence and the strong bond they have with their pack. To acquire a deinonychus you must steal a fertile egg from one of their nests. It is best to distract the pack than to take it head on. The danger of this feat is being swarmed by a pack, so one should stay as far as possible from a actual wild deinonychus. If need be, to kill a deinonychus it is best to use a strong ranged weapon. You can use a sword or a powerful mount as well, but it is best to avoid hand-to-claw combat. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day. ^ for more

The Deinonycus egg makes Extraodinary kibble
Tame them by getting their eggs. Use a whip while you're grappled to a flyer. They need five fireplaces to hatch. It doesn't take that long for them to grow, but to hatch them it's thirty minutes. They can be found easily on the white cliffs along with their eggs. I don't care if you like this or not I just wanna give tips.
This Dino is okay because you donβt take fall damage and it can climb (kinda) but the biggest down side of this Dino is itβs stam you will need to pump its stam ALOT!!!!
This raptor 2.0 takes no fall damage. Fall damage is not in itβs vocabulary
They can jump on big creatures and bite without being hit by the dino they are on. Drains stamina very quickly. Can also climb like a rock drake, but this also uses up lots of stamina.
Their eggs are no longer Extraordinary kibble. Not sure if intentional or accidental. Regardless after bee hunting and crop setup ect I was sorely disappointed.
They don't take fall damage
Looks strong be carful around these big jerks
I would definitely recommend this to everyone as long as they feed them and not starve them to death they in my perspective are the best tames
