How to get a deinonychus:
-Deinonychus can't be tamed, and you can only get one by stealing their eggs and hatching them.
1. Tame a flyer like a pteranodon, and carry another smaller dino like a dodo.
2. Fly over the nest, and lure the deinonychus far away from the nest, then drop the dino you're carrying. You might not need a dino to carry with your flyer if there's a ciff nearby, because you can just lead the deinonychus down the cliff.
3. After you've lured away the deinonychus, you can go back to the nest and steal the eggs.
-Now you need to hatch the eggs. If you're using standing torches, I'm not exactly sure how many you need, but probably around 11-20.
-After you've hatched the egg, instantly fill up the baby deinonychus' inventory with meat.
Hope this helped!

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.
Commit mass murder on the parents then take eggsπ€«π‘π‘π‘
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
U need about 13 standing torches to hatch on fordjor from my experience (I just spammed until it worked)
Wear full ghille suit to get eggs, also its good to have a lot of health and movement speed.
Multiplayer: get 1 friend to at least have 145-130-115% movement speed, have them aggro the deinonychus'(?) and nab an egg, or, later on, in the swamp there are carcasses that give polymer, collect some with the ghillie engrams ready, And use that with the first idea for extra safety
