What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Super easy to steal. Dont go to the closest nest, find a nest that is left alone (probably because they aggro on ankys nearby) and steal an egg. Rinse and repeat
I did my egg stealing on a Thyla. They are good at fighting back against the Deinons, and they can quickly climb away faster than the Deinons can come after you
A really easy great early game tame
If you want one in fjordur, go to the plains around the castle in the cliffs area.
Everyone seems to think they're only in Val. They're all around the lower valley type areas near the castle on the east side of Fjordur too. I've raised many of them there. They're easy to get, just take a decent mount with lots of health and melee damage. You can easily take out the packs defending the nests just make sure you pick up all of the eggs no matter what level or they won't respawn. Just dispose of the lower level eggs.
By far easiest taming method. Only requires one pteradon. Go to the paradise cove spot. Lure the mean Dino’s off the cliffs until the area around a nest is clear. Hop off, grab ur egg. Rinse and repeat. I got 4 eggs in about 10 min.
Guy in here saying white cliffs only is wrong they are not only there but all around the swamp area high and low by green ob and over near the castle on the cliff
Find a good strategy to steal egg then if you don’t have air conditioner unlocked craft fourteen campfires and place them around in a circle. One completed gather fuel for the campfires 15 pieces of wood per campfire, place your egg in the middle of the campfire circle, finally light the campfires up and Banda boom it will incubate.
Eggs start to spoil as soon as they are laid in the wild so sometimes you will pick up eggs that will spoil right away, you have to come back when they respawn to get healthy eggs
Get a Lymantria, go to White Cliffs and look for a Deinonychus nest. Get their aggro, kite them away and gas them with Lymantria to slow them down. Then go back to the nest, steal the egg and if see them again, simply gas them once more.
You a 2x2 square filled with campfires each campfire will need about 70 wood then place your deinonychus eggs in the middle I hope this helps
If you have a pt just lure them away and quickly get the egg it’s really easy
Can someone make a tip about how many torches you need to hatch it?
I would suggest using a few campfires and a few air conditioners as well. Whenever you’re trying to make the egg and incubate is best to use for air conditioners, and if needed standing torches or campfires.
I thought these things were only in the white cliffs until I saw a nest in the tundra
Get wyvern, kill all these buggers by the best, and take the egg.
Getting an egg is much more simple than most people think. Get a high level pteranadon, search for nests, lure the unlucky parents away, get egg. That's it. No need to waste resources taming cannon fodder or running in and massacre the population. Be mindful of your stamina and bring a whip if you feel you aren't quick enough to safely grab the egg
