Tips & Strategies
Just take a pteradon. Come to the nest. Grab the egg and fast fly away. Easy
Deinon’s are fast, early game I usually get deinon’s first since they are an awesome first tame. They eggs are difficult to get when new, like me so I set a bed down close to a nest but not too close then i lead them as far away as possible before they kill me, respawn at the bed and then go get the egg. You will need a bit of movement speed as they are so fast but its as simple as that! Thanks !
Located in the south west portion of the map on a higher plateau. You will find their nests and many adults running around. Just use a flyer since they cant fly. Once grown up they can be bred
Their nests are usually unguarded,use that time to get them!
Once an alpha has been appointed by having 2 or more Deinonychus together, the Roar ability will be usable.
Using the Roar ability will cause the alpha to do a screeching roar which is imitated by the other Deinonychus, giving them 50% increased damage as well as reducing the damage they take to around 60% instead of the full amount of damage delivered.
This is the easiest way to tame:
1. Grab you a flyer (you may want one with good speed so a deinonychus can’t latch onto you while your flying away)
2. Find a deinonychus nest
3. Check and make sure there are no deinonychus around if so try to lead them away with bait (or just be a man and run really fast)
4. Land and grab the egg QUICKLY and fly away. You will have to move fast because deinonychus are territorial.
5. Get around 10-15 standing torches or 5 campfires and place them into a circular position. Then place the egg in the middle.
6. Wait 30 minutes and voila you have a baby deinonychus. They shouldn’t take to long to grow.

Ended up building my base far enough away from a nest to stay out of their "range" and would just run over every once a while and grab an egg. I think I have 12 now and 7 eggs in my inventory
For all I know they are only found in the white cliffs in packs. There is a set of ruins with bridges. The nests that I know of are near the bridges guarded by rock elementals as well as the new fluffy raptor
You can find loads of eggs near the vannaland castle on fjordur. They saved me from starvation multiple times.
DO NOT TAME THESE WITH LOW LVL FLYERS my ice wyvern (10) died REALLY fast to a lvl 61 deinonychus tame them with quetzal also make sure
They are not focused on you I recommend having 2 players one distracts and one steals I got 3 in 10 min with this
I JUST STOLE THREE EGGS WITH NOTHING BUT A PTERANODON AND PATIENCE
Use argy carrying tribemate with whip. With a little practice you will have no problems.
My tip is short. They spawn in chalk hills biome.
If you are alone, ride a pteranodon. This is because they cannot latch onto a pteranodon, but they can latch onto an argentavis. Lead the deinonychuses away from the nest and into a group of brontosauruses. Agro the brontos and make them hit the deinonychuses, and then watch carnage ensue. Rinse and repeat until the deinonychuses have all died, make sure brontos aren't agroed and then safely snatch the eggs from the nests. Using a whip is an optional choice to make things run smoother and faster. After this process, go somewhere else for a few minutes and come back to do it again. With very little practice, this can be a very effective method.
If there are no brontos in the area, use the pteranodon as a weapon. Swoop in and twirl into the deinonychuses until they die. WATCH OUT for raptors. They WILL dismount you in a heartbeat, whether they were targetting you beforehand or not. After the deinonychuses are dead, swoop in and snatch the eggs before leaving and repeating the process.
When you see a deinonychus don’t try to steal its egg just run before it’s to late
-rip berry the parasaur
Tip use a pt to leade them away and then you can easily go steal the egg on fjordur it takes 16 to 18 standing fires -icedragon
