What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This is an amazing tame!
First it has an ability to grab onto prey and not let go until its stamina is empty, during this ability you can damage prey and take very little damage yourself ( sometimes none ).
You can ( partially ) climb. They have an ability where if you jump near a vertical wall it usually latches onto the wall. Spamming jump will get you up the wall in no time!
They have a bleed effect ( similar to the giga ) which deals bleed damage.
They don’t take fall damage.
If you hold down the jump button they jump much higher than their usual jump.
If you get a few of these guys they can obliterate brontos and Rex’s in seconds!
( would recommend pumping stats into health and stam )
You can find nest at around lat 80 Lon 80
Only on Valguero
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
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
If you kill the parents’ you can get the eggs easier, get a fly mount or a strong mount to kill them. I had a fly mount, killed them found a few 140, 135, I think a 145.
These guys can be pretty viscous so be careful, these guys are great for early to midgame strong fast and reliable.
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
They will chill around ANY nest
Be very careful when stealing eggs from the nest because it’s like automatically know when you do.

Run faster then your friend can
Here’s how to tame it: first you need to find a nest, then you need to steal an egg (flyers like a pteradon most recommended) steal the egg(I would recommend luring them off a cliff and THEN stealing there eggs) then get the FRICK out of there, otherwise say goodbye to you, your egg, And your flyer. These guys have a bleed that stacks up to 5 TIMES, So after you escape, make sure to ditch that place. Then make about 15 CAMPFIRES. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT, 15 CAMPFIRES, And that’s just an estimated amount
🥲, so then after the egg hatches. You need to stuff it with MEAT. Take care of the denoiy, then saddle it up and then your done🫃🫃🫃👍
190 movement speed you can run up and whip the nest/egg as you go past
I just kill the adults and then steal the egg, got 3 eggs but one evaporated, idk how that works, don’t ask me
Ok best way to tames these
1. Take a flyer to the nests and find a place to scout
2.wait for a nest to be undefended then fly in. The best way is fly slow coming in and fast coming out. You want to spend as little time on the ground
3. Kill any agro deinonychus.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3
On fjordur they are EVERYWHERE in the hills just nest after nest there’s around 5 nest locations
