Tips & Strategies

What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get a flyer, agro the parents on the nest, lead them away, get out of their aggro range, fly to the nest, land, grab the egg, fly away.
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!
