ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Don't bother knocking out wild, they cannot be tamed in this method. Instead, steal the eggs from their nests. There are many methods for this, but the simplest is to lead the pack away with a swift mount, or simply wait until the pack has moved away from the nest. Be quick, as picking up an egg will draw aggro, the same as when picking up any wild spawned egg.
These nasty little beasts are absolute monsters in a pack, and can make quick work of any dino, so long as they can survive long enough to finish the job. They are excellent for land mobility as well, being extremely fast and having the ability to latch to vertical surfaces and jump up them for a rapid climb. They also have the only bleed effect in the game that stacks with itself and works on all creatures, including bosses. This makes them ideal for taking out the various arena bosses, such as the Dragon, Broodmother, and Mantacore, as well as seasonal raid bosses, such as the Dodorex and Dodowyvern. To cap these creatures off, they have a pounce ability that let's them latch on to larger dinos, making then hard to hit and impossible to escape from on large dinos.
Be cautious when dealing with these raptor-like creatures, because anything less than pinpoint precision can and will lead to a swift and painful death.

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.
Use 13 torches.
CAMPFIRES DONT WORK, BELIVE ME I TRIEDβ¦Thank You!π¦π¦€
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
Take something that does damage, kill Deinonychus, dismount your beast and grab eggs
