Tips & Strategies
These feathered raptors can seem daunting to tame, but here’s a guide to help you.
1. stealing the eggs is nearly impossible without dying if you don’t have a flyer. Pteranodons work great and are quite early game so I recommend them. Argys can be good though, because they have more health and so are less likely to die to the deinonychus
2. fly over to the place the eggs are in valguero (they are found around) the giant white cliffs and land on a ledge above the nest you want to raid. This is the hardest part, dart in and bite one, then lure the pack off a cliff or far enough away from the nest that they won’t aggro when you grab the eggs. It’s even better if you can get them aggrod on something else like a bronto that will distract or even kill them
3. Go back and grab the egg(s)and immediately fly to a place the deinonychus can’t get to. (in case they aren’t far enough away) and scan for deinonychus. You can either fly back to base or go for more eggs at this point
4. Once at base make several torches or campfires to incubate the egg. Once hatched they will eat raw meat, and it is a normal baby raise. I highly recommend imprinting if it’s a high level to boost its stats.
Happy taming!
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.
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.
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 there’s 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 TRIED…Thank You!🦖🦤
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
