What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you’re new-ish you probably have a raptor used for traveling. But DO NOT try to fight these things with a raptor they are faster they stack bleed and they are faster than a raptor.if you want to escape try to run past other wild Dino’s to get them to get angry at the wild Dino your running past then when they leave you alone get the hell out of there... FAST!!!
Easy, tame a pack of pteranodons and attack each deinonychus, theyll get distracted, easy, get the eggs and fly away
This thing was originally going to be a lot stronger, but classic Wildcard made it into a child class of the raptor so it shares the health stat of the raptor, which is about 200 health less than its intended health stat. They also broke its climbing ability ever since Lost Island released. If you play pc ASE, the Kraken’s Better Dinos mod solves these issues rather nicely, but it’s still a shame it’s less good than intended.
Found a ton in the southeast part of the map. They travel in packs and apply a bleed when they attack. The nests aren't too hard to spot but the eggs are small; they give off an orange aura like other fertilized eggs.
Don't fly nearby these things they will destroy a wyvern in seconds...
These are auctally not that hard to get eggs from if you have a flyer because they are pretty much always fighting something making it very easy to steal their egg’s although I have had bad luck with finding good levels
This is 2 ways to gather eggs efficiently.
1) You need a tribe mate to help with this one and 2 fliers. I would use some decent argy’s with stamina and health. Your tribe mate will fly over the nest low to the floor and agro the deinonychus and fly away slowly. They will keep the agro and leave the nest but try not to get hit their bleed does 10% of your health. Once clear you will fly down grab the eggs and fly away while informing your tribe mate that they can loose agro.
2) This one is a bit more difficult but it’s good for when you’re solo. You need a good flier who can carry a tanky dino. For the flier I would use an argy and the tank would be an anky. You fly over the nest and gather the agro and then fly away while carrying your tank. You lead the deinonychus away and drop the tank so they start eating it. You then quickly fly back to the nest to get the egg and fly away. If your tank is still alive you can try pick it up but be careful if your hot they do 10% of your health. Your tank should have some decent health to give you time as when it dies the deinonychus will return to the nest to kill you in short time.
Hope this helps you guys get some eggs :)
Tame a high level Raptor or something small in size so they can’t latch on to you, kill the group and raid the nests. Unlike Wyverns, looting the egg doesn’t spawn more and force aggro onto you, so it’s probably the easiest tame in the entire game with a single decent level dinosaur
Best way ton het their eggs is to jus sit in a pteranodon and make them fillow you tegen fly of a vliff and they Will just jump off.
Tegen you van grab all tje eggs without any atacking you.
In got like 20 eggs in online about 30mins
Best is to wait for the adult Deinos to go away and snatch it with a fly Dino if they hit you completely destroy them erase this species of valguero
and if u want to get an egg on foot then grind on ur speed a ton cuz these guys are FAST!
Getting eggs for these on Valguero super easy for low levels:
Step 1: spawn in the chalk hills area near the end of the lake and there should be an abundance of lymantria
Step 2: speed run a lymantria saddle and then easily tame a lymantria with a bola and a bow(no crossbow needed)
Step 3: distract the deinonychus when you find a nest, lure them away and use the fart attack on lymantria, quickly hurry back to the nest and steal the egg, you must be very quick, even though the Lymantria can slow down the deinonychus
Step 4: hatch all the eggs, use about 15 standing torches lined up like this in rows of 5: _

Step 5: breed these for health, stamina, weight, and melee as these are the most important stats for deinonychus
Step 6: make packs of 5 and go kill pretty much anything with them, they can easily kill tamed gigas if mutated and they are also great as an all-around mount for PVE and PVP, they are insanely fast travelers, can be boss killers, are are overall super useful because of their fall damage negation, high attack, bleed damage, fast speed, charge jump, and somewhat of a climb ability.
If your egg is spoiling you should put more standing torches down, the number of standing torches varies depending on the climate of the area. Usually you will need about 11 to 12 torches. Good luck!
