The hatch buff temp for these eggs in the incubator is 85
I use anywhere from 15-20 standing torches to hatch their eggs. Works like a charm. As for stealing eggs, I usually use a pteranodon. I like to lure some of the adults away first, by flying close to the ground for a bit and then striaght up once they're far away, then I grab any eggs I see. Honestly easy enough and they're amazing tames.
Great for abberation or ab zone on val exploration. Tribe mate and I took 2 wild raised eggs and like 50 armor saddles and destroyed literally everything we came accross. 2 crabs and 3 spinos at once? piece of cake. I recommend 2.5k+ health, min of 1k stam, pump melee between 350-400 = absolute monsters. You can solo the broodmother with 1 that has decent stats and saddle. no joke. oh they can leap up cliffs/trees = great for ab! please like
Like so Dododex will add a pic of them on here!!!!!!!
You can find loads of eggs near the vannaland castle on fjordur. They saved me from starvation multiple times.
How to tame a deinochys
1. Tame and breed a army of dodos and dilos
2.whistle the dodos and dilos to attack
3.steal eggs
4.run away
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.
On Fjordur you can find nests in the flat grassland area that is above and behind the portal room
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

If you have a decent level argy collecting eggs is a breeze.
Just pick up wild ones in the area. Kill. If they latch on you can still attack and kill them. And then just clean house. Easy tame, easy kibble
Get a Pteranodon with a good amount of stamina, swoop down and lead all the parents/ adult Deinys off cliffs and ledges nearby ubtil you can safely jump off and graab the eggs.
Only obtained by searching for eggs, just like wyverns and drakes. Watch out for the pack though. They protect the nest and with their latching and bleeding abilities, they can be quite formidable. Either be quick about sneaking in and grabbing eggs, or kill them all. There is no in between...
For those looking for an interesting mount for boss fights, I suggest this dino for the manticor or any flying enemy.
Pump hits,and stamina, then wait till you see the red jaws on the enemy and grab on, the bleed effect can chew through high hit creatures.
Only downer is breeding and leveling to make them survive.
Best used with other players riding their own, so when one falls off the other can take their place and/or a few recession on ground for the worms, using the bleed effect you can tag the golems with hit and run moves.
Tested with one on God mode and had tons of fun grabbing the manticors haunches for a bite and a ride.
I JUST STOLE THREE EGGS WITH NOTHING BUT A PTERANODON AND PATIENCE
Get a flyer and stay off the ground and look for a nest and make Sure there are none in the area and go to the nest get it and go straight up to got out of the jump attack
