What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Yah, just wait for them to be distracted, land your flyer, fly away... just stole two lvl 20eggs, a lvl 90, and a lvl 135, incubating with standing torches (like 20), 5min from hatching. Lvl 30 something, just tamed a pteranodon and went for deino eggs. Done.
I have a pack to really strong dire wolves, and two deinoychus nests a little ways from my house. I simply take my pack of dire wolves, go kill them, and take the eggs. I now have like 15 eggs and three fluffy raptors of my own.
Just pick them up with your Argy or let them jump on. Then just kill them in the air. After you clear the area go collect your eggs :)
Fun fact : deinonychus means terrible (deino) claw (nychus)
Literally just lure them off a cliff and you can get the all the eggs you want with no stress
Just wanted to say thank you to the person who commented about where to find their eggs etc (white cliffs area valguero) I just found 9!! Thanks so much for the help. to anyone looking make sure to check up high too. There's also a spot where they seem to respawn quicker. good luck
These are auctally not that hard to get eggs from if you have a flyer because they are pretty much always fighting something making it very easy to steal their egg’s although I have had bad luck with finding good levels
This is 2 ways to gather eggs efficiently.
1) You need a tribe mate to help with this one and 2 fliers. I would use some decent argy’s with stamina and health. Your tribe mate will fly over the nest low to the floor and agro the deinonychus and fly away slowly. They will keep the agro and leave the nest but try not to get hit their bleed does 10% of your health. Once clear you will fly down grab the eggs and fly away while informing your tribe mate that they can loose agro.
2) This one is a bit more difficult but it’s good for when you’re solo. You need a good flier who can carry a tanky dino. For the flier I would use an argy and the tank would be an anky. You fly over the nest and gather the agro and then fly away while carrying your tank. You lead the deinonychus away and drop the tank so they start eating it. You then quickly fly back to the nest to get the egg and fly away. If your tank is still alive you can try pick it up but be careful if your hot they do 10% of your health. Your tank should have some decent health to give you time as when it dies the deinonychus will return to the nest to kill you in short time.
Hope this helps you guys get some eggs :)
Tame a high level Raptor or something small in size so they can’t latch on to you, kill the group and raid the nests. Unlike Wyverns, looting the egg doesn’t spawn more and force aggro onto you, so it’s probably the easiest tame in the entire game with a single decent level dinosaur
They have a awesome jump attack (works best on diplodocus how I know),but the weakness of it is thatched you latch on big dinos they can sometimes hit you(if I’m not wrong).They can’t take fall damage and can climb (when they climb it doesn’t work so well at all).Getting them in packs is very useful and they can jump high and can make alpha buff(like direwolf).(I’m sorry if I wrote something wrong because I’m German)What do you think?Up if they are good.
Use a crystal wyvern to take the eggs very quickly I got 12 eggs in 15 minutes with a wyv
Can’t find the saddle engram anywhere in game r.i.p
My partner and I took our flyers and while one distracted the group by the nest the other collected eggs. No kill no muss no fuss. To hatch just build a fireplace and place eggs near. This was very successfulI in that we had six hatch within 30 game minutes.
If you want to steal the eggs make sure they're no Deins around or kill them. When I stole the eggs they didn't show up in my inventory.
Raptor on steroids, they have pack bonuses and cause bleeding that stack 5 times which makes them mountain removers, they can mount on the side of large creatures (not bosses though) and can't be damaged by that creature its attached to. Takes no fall damage has slowed falling combined with the ability to charge jump and can attach to walls, this guy is able to take on a low level Rex by itself. They also are easy to get because they get distracted by everything but just dip after snaging an egg.
