Tips & Strategies
Tame a bird and carry something as you fly over the nest to lure them away like an Ankylo. Drop the bait, then fly back to loot the nest. I got 5 eggs in 30 minutes. Please spread.
Deinonychus: all you need to know
The deinonychus is a raptor-like carnivore best used in packs of at least 3. They do a bleed effect that can stack, so having multiple deinonychus will be no less than deadly to any enemies. You can’t actually tame a deinonychus in the wild due to their high intelligence and the strong bond they have with their pack. To acquire a deinonychus you must steal a fertile egg from one of their nests. It is best to distract the pack than to take it head on. The danger of this feat is being swarmed by a pack, so one should stay as far as possible from a actual wild deinonychus. If need be, to kill a deinonychus it is best to use a strong ranged weapon. You can use a sword or a powerful mount as well, but it is best to avoid hand-to-claw combat. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day. ^ for more

Are strong in packs, do a bleed effect and can latch onto surfaces, it is tamed by stealing its eggs and raising them, it can take 9 to 10 standing torches. Eggs are found in the whites cliffs area ONLY on the valguero map. Like if helpful
The eggs can hatch and you can claim them in the wild.
About 4 to 6 nests on fjordour around 44, 74.
People on here are giving the most difficult tips to get the eggs. Just fly down there. Hop off when non is too close. Grab the egg. Fly away. It's as simple as that. No need for an argentavis with bait
There is a canyon on that big plateau that i got 12 eggs from goings through less than half of it just bring a buffed up carno to kill them and you are gunna have a HUGE pack
Here's how to steal one early game: If you spawn in at chalk hills 3 and spawn next to a pond walk opposite to the pond. There are some nests right there. Snatch one quickly and run off the cliff next to the pond. Be careful and make sure to fall into the water. From there make a left and you should get to a beach area. From there it should be easy to find your base.
You can't tame these guys by knocking them out. Instead, you need to steal their fertilised eggs (just like wyverns and rock drakes), hatch them and raise them, just a bit harder than knocking them out. The eggs can, of course, be found in their nests and do be careful while trying to steal one as the Deinonychus is very territorial. Hope this helps :)
Tame them by getting their eggs. Use a whip while you're grappled to a flyer. They need five fireplaces to hatch. It doesn't take that long for them to grow, but to hatch them it's thirty minutes. They can be found easily on the white cliffs along with their eggs. I don't care if you like this or not I just wanna give tips.
1. Tame a kangaroos 2. Have a tribe mate with a whip in the pouch 3. Quickly jump on a nest and have your tribe mate whip the egg into his inventory 4. Jump away! No one has to dismount so there’s basically no risk
Who wishes these were on Ragnarok.
You can find the eggs by the green obelisk on valguero
Wear full ghille suit to get eggs, also its good to have a lot of health and movement speed.
I was sitting on a flyer on a cliff above the deinos, thought I was safe to wait for my moment to steal their eggs...had the biggest heart attack when one of them decided to climb up the cliff. I accidentally dismounted in shock and fell right into the packs claws, where they shredded me to death. Don't be scared of them, they smell it.
Finally are on another map, near the hexagonal stone cliffs you can find these miniature allos and their nests. This map for me is currently easier to grab than valguero simply because of the amount of other dinos in the area. THANK YOU FJORDUR
Gonna be honest. I just ran up into the plateau area with a 12 bolas and managed to get some eggs. Aslong as you don't take a direct path to the eggs so you avoid most creatures that can't be bola'd. Also around 150 and above stamina. Then when you see the deinonychus go after something else. Go for it. The bolas are for whatever stays chasing you after you grab the egg.
Fun fact: Deinonychus in real life are bigger than Velociraptor.
