What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Have good enough armor to the point where it is possible to get away from being pinned
These are fairly simple to steal from. I would advise to bring Trang arrows or some Trang’s but you should be fine either way. Just crouch to the nest. Even flyers work.
These things are better than raptors🦖🦎
For me to hatch one of these, it took 13 campfires + an otter. However I'm pretty sure it takes less when you use the otter from the start. Just tame an otter and then add the fires you need.
If you have a few points in stamina on beach 2 you can take eggs around level 5
Use a flyer when stealing eggs from them they will your land dino won't outrun them
6 air cons was what i needed to incubate. I got lucky on the egg catching because they were fighting other dinos and i hauled butt.
get an igaunadon cause of infinite stam upgrade lots of movement speed and some health and steal some eggs
If you have some pack of 4-5 raptors as bodyguards, is easy to search for Deinonychus’ nests and take their eggs without having a fly mount. In case of some Deinos attacks you, your bodyguard can kill the easily.
Feathered Raptor with an extra trick up its sleeve
I fricking hate these lil freaks, one time I accidentally fell off my argy and died,so I got on my tek parasuar (metal) and went out to find it, two of these lil buds attacked me and my metal. I ran into my base and they followed me in. AND KILLED MY METAL AND ME AND MY ANKLYO STOOD THERE RUNNING OFF. My featherlight and jerboa were safe inside my house. My neighbour tamed a new tek parasuar for me and named it metal, I found my argy btw. #R.I.P metal the 1st. These lil guys are not Gud to mess with if there’s a ton in your island, I’d recommend using a flying mount! :)
How to tame:
Get an Argy
Get a very tanky and fighting creature. (Rex)
Let your Rex follow you and fly until you find a Deino nest
Put your Rex as a bait and steal some children-
FBI PLS DONT COME ON MY DOOR AAAAUGGGHHHHH-
Their eggs are EZ to get. You just have to get a high lvl ptera ( or crystal wyvern if you want it less dangerous ) and lure them away with your ptera ( you have to be pretty close to the ground so they aggro ya ) and you have an deino egg! But if you want to be safe Valguero is the map and if you want to be EVEN MORE SAFE! then just get a crystal wyvern ( you have to be 65 lvl to tame it ) you can easily kill the deinos with the crystal wyvern. Like if helped :) 👆
If you are solo, use a PT and lead them away from the next until they are out of aggro range and grab the egg, if you have a friend, have your friend lure them all away and distract them so you can grab the egg. Simple yet effective
