Simple guide on how to tame,
First, you bring a flying animal, argy recommended in valguero, white cliffs exactly.
Find a nest, or look for deinonychus, they don’t spawn for no reason.
Grab it then run,they WILL chase you, then head back to your base.
Use ac, incubators or AC, hatch it, then raise it. And boom! DEINONYCHUS!
Hope you enjoyed.
There nests are flat on the ground insted of being on some kind of dent on a wall like wyverns and rock drakes
I hope this saved you time like it did for me
It took me 12 to 15 air conditioners to hatch eggs
Use any flying mount and fly over the nest land and snatch the egg making sure there are no Dino’s nearby and fly away. We got four eggs very early in the game but are stuck on hatching the eggs.. hope this helps. ;)
Make sure that the closest birds are stuck in rocks or something and cant move. Then grab as many as you can
Best way to tame them I’ve found is to get a pt and fly near the debonychsy and lead them off a cliff then pillage to your delight
Grab a ptearonodon, snap those ankles off the cliff. Then you grab those eggs, incubate, then go f@#% around with it.
You can obtain the egg if you kill all the Deinos around/close to the nest, best to kill them if your on a cliff so they cant reach you [thats how i stole an a egg]
If you play as a duo drop your friend off with a pterodactyl or a different flying animal they will grab the egg and you can pick them up. If things go wrong tell your friend to run and the Deinonychuses will go after them then safely take the egg. I got two eggs in one go
Okay, if your going to get an egg, you only need :
Pteranodon with good health and melee, just in case if you get latched onto.
Torches, better be prepared so you don’t end up like me all the time.
Bait, just in case.
Go to chalk hills with your ptera and look for a nest, if you find one that has many near it, do not go there. I usually look for 1 or 2 near a nest because I can kill them. If the only one there is an alpha, try and lead it away with any high lvl thing you have. Next is to quickly go down and snatch it up, if it’s a low level don’t worry, these things in a pack at low lvls can shred through things with ease. Once you’ve gotten your egg, place 10 - 20 torches based on what your temperature is. When it hatches, put normal meat into it and imprint it. Have fun grabbing one!
