Encountering Tips

How do I kill a deinonychus? deinonychus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
When I went to grab one it's mom/dad was just killing things, so I waiting till the perfect moment to fly in, pick it up, and leave.
To whoever said That the deinonychus is bigger than a velociraptor.
I bet tons of people already know that deinonychus is bigger than a velociraptor because the velociraptor is only the size of a turkey possibly a chicken, so yeah, I’m not surprised that the deinonychus is real life bigger than a raptor
I was on my ice wyvern then about 12 deinonuchus was there with 5 nests and I lured them away bec they were over my base a level 25 all by its self removed 3 quarters of my health and it had 5k health
So be careful!!!
I hatched one of these adorable fluff balls, cryoed it up like all the others.. but then I almost killed a level 140 one, so I brought it over to my snowowls but it got stuck under them! (Yes it was also Cryo podded). I went to Cryo it back up since I didn’t want to grow it up just yet but the previous one was throw out.. poor little baby got Cryo sickness. I named her Silly Bean and she will be my first Fjorder Deinonychus!

All you need is like an argintavis and fly down quick get off and steal it. If need kill them
When near this Dino be careful and carry a rifle or cross bow make sure your damage is a good level as well
On the info section it says that it is only found on Val but it’s also on fjordour(sry if I spelled that wrong)
Don't expect to ride one if you play on primitive+ no engram for a saddle.
First you have to find a egg then kill all the Dino's around after pick up the egg then run/fly away and fertilise the egg and then you have a baby deinonychus to look after.
These guys can latch on to things so if you find one or more with a bronco or big dinos it will climb on your mount and kill it pretty fast so be careful!-Featherlight master 🐦
From my experience to kill use spinosaurus
Went on a trip yesterday got three eggs lightning wyvrn makes short work of them
They spawn by valguero green obelisk
Best to just fly around on an Argy, swoop down and pick them up. Then when the area is clear, safely land and pick up the egg.
Alternatively, my base is in the plains area of Fjordur where there are a lot of them. I usually go on a tamed Thylo and wipe out the pack as well as any other carnivores the. Lazily take the eggs.
There pretty easy to take but you need a incubator also if you don’t have meat or anything(this is for every dino almost) if you have you if you have you incubator speed and growing speed up you can just leave them be wait till they get older then claim them.
Find them in the White Cliffs area on the bottom right of the map. Best is around the bridge ruins. (:
If you encounter one in the wild, it will latch itself onto your dino and slowly eat it so its best to avoid them at all costs
best thing to do is
1.find neat next to trees
2.lure them away(off a cliff if u can)
3.steal the egg
4.rinse and repeat
I just got ARK on console, and I was playing on The Island, and saw that I could unlock the engram for a Deinonychus saddle. Ive been an ARK fan for quite a while, and know (or thought I knew) quite a bit about the game, but now I’m confused, because I thought that Deinonychuses were introduced in Valguero… What’s what???
