Tips & Strategies

Getting eggs for these on Valguero super easy for low levels:
Step 1: spawn in the chalk hills area near the end of the lake and there should be an abundance of lymantria
Step 2: speed run a lymantria saddle and then easily tame a lymantria with a bola and a bow(no crossbow needed)
Step 3: distract the deinonychus when you find a nest, lure them away and use the fart attack on lymantria, quickly hurry back to the nest and steal the egg, you must be very quick, even though the Lymantria can slow down the deinonychus
Step 4: hatch all the eggs, use about 15 standing torches lined up like this in rows of 5: _

Step 5: breed these for health, stamina, weight, and melee as these are the most important stats for deinonychus
Step 6: make packs of 5 and go kill pretty much anything with them, they can easily kill tamed gigas if mutated and they are also great as an all-around mount for PVE and PVP, they are insanely fast travelers, can be boss killers, are are overall super useful because of their fall damage negation, high attack, bleed damage, fast speed, charge jump, and somewhat of a climb ability.
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.
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
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 :)
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
Easily stole an egg by swooping down and parking next to a nest with my pteranodon while the adults were busy chasing herbivores. Grabbed the egg and flew out of there, itβs as simple as that.
I just waited for them to go after other Dinoβs and stole their eggs
