What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Deinonychus is a very fast and agile creature so be careful when around them and stay out of their agro range.
Hi guys
Here is a little tip from me. Take a Pteranodon and fly to a Deino nest. When u found the right one then u look after the Deinoychus parents. When they are not in range fly to the nest and grab the egg. When they are in range then fly near to the parents and wait until they are agro on you. Fly away go fast to the nest grab the egg and fly back off. Now u must bring the egg in an area with 5 to 6 air conditioners.
With this method I have grabt in an half hour more then 10 eggs
Up when u love Deinonychus like me
welcome to my one million paragraph tip abt how to get a deinonychus
warning it is very detailed and will take u 500 years to read /hj
don’t try knocking these guys out bc 1. u can’t access their inventory (if wild) and 2. u can’t tame them that way anyways.
how u actually “tame” them is u have to steal their eggs. in fjordur they r slightly rare but r all over the broken meadows, and in valguero they r in the chalk hills and anywhere near there except beaches (and they r a LOT more common).
theres nest spawns in some location with hard to see eggs in them but their red glow gives them away. incase u have never seen the eggs before, they r mostly a dark blue with grayish green spots on them.
i recommend using a flyer but using a land mount or even being on foot is actually pretty possible (but u need to have a lot of movement speed bc they r super fast). ive only used a flyer before so ill only explain the flyer part.
if ur early game a pteranodon should prob be the easiest. otherwise a argy or wyvern should be good bc argies can pick up the deinonychus and wyverns r pretty tanky and deal a lot of damage. for me, i usually find the deinonychus gang somewhere else so i just scoop in with a ptera and fly away. if the deinonychus gang is at the nest leading them away is prob the best option bc there might be a high level which means better egg. but if u cant for some reason, or theres too many low levels or levels u dont want then u should kill them. but do remember they have a bleed attack and can latch onto ur dino
hatching the almighty chicken is very similar to a wyvern. i believe they even have the same temperature requirements. 9-12 standing torches or campfires should be enough (depending on where u r). if ur using dimetrodons then i think 1 or 2 can incubate it as long as they have high melee. as for air conditioners, i actually don’t know
and raising them is basically the same as any other carnivore. their saddle unlocks around level 25, so they r the perfect starter tame. and enjoy ur aggressive chicken
Their nests can actually be found around the castle that’s in the grasslands. The castle there is also a decent base location with nearby deinonychus eggs to snatch and hatch or use for extraordinary kibble to tame things faster. Deinonychus are also great creatures to have to move around and take no fall damage while your mounted, and they also do a bleed effect with their attacks. I would say this is a useful tame, as they can climb walls (such as cliffs, etc.).
If you have a pteranadon, simply fly low to the ground to bait them away and then sprint fly and barrel roll back once they are far enough away. Very solid method, makes egg collecting very fast and relatively safe.
Do not try to knock them out just steal their eggs trust me it’s way to hard to knock them out
If you main on aberation get a reaper and if u have a lvl 200 you 1 tap em and if you dont tail whip then bite bite.
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.
Carry your tribe mate with a a bird, let your tribe mate use a whip on the nest. Easy way to get egg.
People are giving conplicated advice all you need to do is go with a flyer and snatch an egg that doesn't have then around if there is alot around grab anything like an Anky and use it as bait
The best way to get their eggs is the sneak up on them while they’re attacking other dinosaurs and killing them as quickly as possible with a gun or any other utility that you have if that doesn’t work try to sneak in cause they’ll be too busy attacking dinosaurs
You don't need bait, Just take a pteranodon, lure the deinons away, and take the egg.
The incubator temp for boost is 85°
The easiest way to obtain they're eggs is just getting neutral dinos to them and let them kill the deinonychus, get like mammoths or some others dont remember the ones i used lol. Goodluck
P.S. use untamed animals
Gonna be honest. I just ran up into the plateau area with a 12 bolas and managed to get some eggs. Aslong as you don't take a direct path to the eggs so you avoid most creatures that can't be bola'd. Also around 150 and above stamina. Then when you see the deinonychus go after something else. Go for it. The bolas are for whatever stays chasing you after you grab the egg.
basically a feathery raptor with extra abilities for supreme devastation
much like with some other dinos, having one of these suckers latch onto your argy can glitch it and make it so you can't ride your bird. relogging will fix it, I've been unlucky enough to have it happen twice.
