Tips & Strategies

What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.

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 so Dododex will add a pic of them on here!!!!!!!
On Fjordur you can find nests in the flat grassland area that is above and behind the portal room
It takes about 14 torches in order to hatch a deinon egg.
I JUST STOLE THREE EGGS WITH NOTHING BUT A PTERANODON AND PATIENCE
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
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.
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...
my favourite tame in ark by FAR. a pack of these with level 200+ can destroy almost anything. the bleed damage they do is percent based meaning the more health something has, they higher the damage they will do with bleed. the mobility on these guys is crazy. they are very fast, and if you hold space bar (or whatever your jump button is) you can do a charged jump which will make you go higher and further. you can scale vertical or slanted surfaces with their climbing ability. they are also just adorable. fluffy raptors = the better raptor
Needs about 20 standing torches on Fjordur to incubate
You don’t even have to use a flyer, just run in with a raptor or something while they’re away from the nest of distracted. Worked for me.
On fjorder use a snow owl freeze the deinonychus grab the egg and RUN!
I tamed (hatched) this thing at lvl 13, all I did was go to chalk hills 2, i empty out all my resources just in case I die and wait until the egg is fully unsupervised and boom, stolen eggo
mine was named Cliffwalker, but like all good things come to an end it died of a lvl 14.
