Tips & Strategies
All you need to do to tame one, is you just have tame a ptera or other flyer, lure them away from nest (they hardly do that much dmg in the wild, as they don't use their strongest attack) snatch an egg, hatch using multiple fires of any kind, ac's will work as well. Once you hatch them, these little buggers EAT, and you will need a large food supply. They do not eat anything special, just give them some raw meat, and they'll be fine. When you manage to grow them fully, which does not take very long, they grow rather fast, they are rather op. They are faster than a raptor, they have a stacking bleed effect making them op in packs, and have an ability to jump on the back of larger prey, and start feasting on them before they even die, which applies stacks of bleed damage.
More Deinonychus Taming & KO Tips
Tame a bird and carry something as you fly over the nest to lure them away like an Ankylo. Drop the bait, then fly back to loot the nest. I got 5 eggs in 30 minutes. Please spread.
Are strong in packs, do a bleed effect and can latch onto surfaces, it is tamed by stealing its eggs and raising them, it can take 9 to 10 standing torches. Eggs are found in the whites cliffs area ONLY on the valguero map. Like if helpful
People on here are giving the most difficult tips to get the eggs. Just fly down there. Hop off when non is too close. Grab the egg. Fly away. It's as simple as that. No need for an argentavis with bait
Here's how to steal one early game: If you spawn in at chalk hills 3 and spawn next to a pond walk opposite to the pond. There are some nests right there. Snatch one quickly and run off the cliff next to the pond. Be careful and make sure to fall into the water. From there make a left and you should get to a beach area. From there it should be easy to find your base.
You can't tame these guys by knocking them out. Instead, you need to steal their fertilised eggs (just like wyverns and rock drakes), hatch them and raise them, just a bit harder than knocking them out. The eggs can, of course, be found in their nests and do be careful while trying to steal one as the Deinonychus is very territorial. Hope this helps :)
1. Tame a kangaroos 2. Have a tribe mate with a whip in the pouch 3. Quickly jump on a nest and have your tribe mate whip the egg into his inventory 4. Jump away! No one has to dismount so thereβs basically no risk
Wear full ghille suit to get eggs, also its good to have a lot of health and movement speed.
Finally are on another map, near the hexagonal stone cliffs you can find these miniature allos and their nests. This map for me is currently easier to grab than valguero simply because of the amount of other dinos in the area. THANK YOU FJORDUR
Use 13 torches.
CAMPFIRES DONT WORK, BELIVE ME I TRIEDβ¦Thank You!π¦π¦€
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.
