What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I use a good argie & kill off the parents then grab all the eggs. Hatch any level 140 & over then kibble the rest. Can get 20+ eggs in 30 min easy.
My brother was nervous when he was about to tame one but he went in with a parasaur distracting them and took one from the nest and ran like the wind named it Robin
Commit mass murder on the parents then take eggs🤫🗡🗡🗡
I have noticed that unlike wyverns and rock drakes deins won’t come after you when you steal their eggs. They will only attack if you get close.
This isn’t a tip but still there better than raptors I really suggest you use them I’m still in the low level area so I can’t take one but I assure you it will be worth it. How you may ask 1.climbs,2. Latches on to creatures. It’s super good for exploring and killing if you have a high level, pack
If you see a pack of them near a good level egg don't go for it unless you got good tames because they will tear you apart
Guys the best thing to do is get a flyer and use a whip to get your egg 🥚
Let wild kangaroos lire them away then swoop in to grab the eggs
I will prove my theory a GAME THEORY so I will try meeting one
If there’s a nest on a cliff on fjordor then lead them off the cliff and grab the egg
Use a oviraptor or whatever it is called and a pt pick up the oviraptor and let the oviraptor take the egg the oviraptor will take the egg without Dino’s knowing
If you get to close to one( on a flyer) it well jump on you and gash you
These are amazing and killing alpha creatures beachside of their bleed effect, a high level can solo kill an alpha raptor or a low lv alpha carno, and with the alpha Rex you can jump on their hind legs and bite them without being hit by the Rex, I’ve killed over 10 alpha Rex’s with these things.
Deinonychus are very underrated for boss fights especially on low rate servers. If you use a yuty with them the bosses will target the yuty and not the deinos. This means they will not get hit much so don’t need crazy mutated health. Deinos can also form a wall and stop the boss getting to you. Since deinos also bleed bosses and do percentage damage to them you do not have to spend time mutating their damage very high to kill alpha bosses. I have beat the 3 alpha island bosses with an army of slightly mutated deinos before. You would struggle doing the same with slightly mutated rexs.
So these guys are not a knock out game you have to find the nests which are in white cliffs in valguero. I went and used an Argentavis to fly down to he nest and got the egg and quickly left I did this to multiple nests in one run not to difficult.
#1. Ride your flying mount and scout for deinos nests at chalk zone biome.
#2. Stop at high ground and wait for the parent deinos to chase something away from nest. Or use your Argentavis to carry and drop nearby Ankylo or Doedicurus as a bait to distract the guarding deinos. (Be smart! Wait for the perfect opportunity to do step #3)
#3. Approach the egg using your flying mount quickly!
#4. Jump out near the egg -> TAKE THE EGG QUICKLY -> jump in and fly away ASAP! (This must be done in less than 5sec!)
#5. Make a 4x4 thatch/any foundation with closed wall, roof and a door entrance.
#6. Place 10 standing torches inside. (Add more if the egg says "too cold")
#7. Drop the egg/s then light up the torches.
#8. Wait for the incubation to reach 0%.
*These steps are meant for beginners or first timers on snatching and hatching Deinonychus egg @ VALGUERO map. Good luck!
Use a flyer to lead them away then fly back to grab the egg.
You cannot outrun these so you must use stealth. When near the nest you must crawl around and use objects to hide yourself from the full grown ones. Secure the egg and get the hell out of there and make sure to run away by running behind objects so it slows them down.
