I just kill the adults and then steal the egg, got 3 eggs but one evaporated, idk how that works, don’t ask me

Best strategy for any map is fly over and jump off your flyer then grapple hook to a tree and net gun them, it takes some practice but got 4 eggs in about 5 minutes with this, spread the good word

The saddle engram sometimes doesn’t work so look for the saddle before gathering the mats

This is a buffed up raptor I swear LOL but you can escape them by jumping on the closet ride rex or a spino and make them pay for chasing you up if you think I’m right

Easy, tame a pack of pteranodons and attack each deinonychus, theyll get distracted, easy, get the eggs and fly away

I JUST STOLE THREE EGGS WITH NOTHING BUT A PTERANODON AND PATIENCE

These things take no fall damage and can scale cliffs by jumping then latch onto a new point. They can latch onto larger dinos by jumping once a bite icon shows up either near the larger dinos legs or neck.

I take a pteradon over to the white cliffs, and I swoop down and kill all the dienonychus around the nest, steal the egg, and then I GET OUT OF THERE QUICK

You dont need any flying tame, I got an egg in fjordur by running by FOOT, picking the egg and jumping off a near cliff with a parachute, you just need to wait for them to be a little far away from the egg, take it and run for your life and the baby egg life

Holding down the jump button will make it jump higher and you can also latch onto walls if you jump into one and melee this animal does not take fall damage so don’t worry if you fall off a cliff

I killed a 145 alpha Rex with a single deinonychus. I took advantage of the fact it can’t harvest bodies so I wait till it kills something and then attack it. It doesn’t aggro to me, but it will occasionally go to get something else so wait till it kills that than attack it some more. Bleed effect really helps in this situation

Make this simple on how to steal an egg.. take a Dino with good health or just a flyer with good health.. just Incase you have to fight something.. wait for them to walk away from the nest.. jump off your Dino.. run and grab the egg and jump back on your Dino. I was scared at first trying but it’s actually a piece of cake. :)

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.

May the Obelisks Guide you.

So this thing is my favorite Dino no question. One there not that hard to tame all you need to do is find a nest and you now have an infinite supply of eggs (if you play on single player or even online but there will be some competition for them) it’s sad that there only on two maps but fjordur is at least a great map. So the one downside I found with these guys is that their climbing is kinda messed up or at least on controller so what I found is they jump wherever there head is facing so that’s what you want to look for when climbing as well there climbing is just generally messed up with the fact that they will sometimes just not jump onto wall you’ll jump but they just won’t grab the wall. Overall my favorite Dino

Like dragons you gotta steal the egg, problem is these things are more populated than even the dragons ravine, generally they have a few nests close together. Carefully fly at night to find the nests since the fertilized eggs glow, during the day get a Pteradon with high stam and do a fly by barrel roll to get the attention of a few, then guide them to an area with lots of dinos to kill or be killed by. I lured some stegos n mammoths near the nests that i found and guided the fluffy fellows to them. Rinse and repeat with breaks in between so your ptera gets enough rest. As soon as you dont see any of em near the nests land next to it swipe and fly as fast as you can far away. Make sure your ptera is on passive btw, so he doesn't fly off when you need a quick escape. -Asheir

All you need is a pteranodon with good stam, lure them off a cliff, come back and grab the egg

Anyone has any idea of how to use his climb ability on console?

23 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 20, 2020   Report

Just grab your pt and kite those things off the cliff then loot every single egg simple as that.

5 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Mar 14, 2024   Report

Take something that does damage, kill Deinonychus, dismount your beast and grab eggs
