What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My brother was nervous when he was about to tame one but he went in with a parasaur distracting them and took one from the nest and ran like the wind named it Robin
This isn’t a tip but still there better than raptors I really suggest you use them I’m still in the low level area so I can’t take one but I assure you it will be worth it. How you may ask 1.climbs,2. Latches on to creatures. It’s super good for exploring and killing if you have a high level, pack
Let wild kangaroos lire them away then swoop in to grab the eggs
Deinonychus are very underrated for boss fights especially on low rate servers. If you use a yuty with them the bosses will target the yuty and not the deinos. This means they will not get hit much so don’t need crazy mutated health. Deinos can also form a wall and stop the boss getting to you. Since deinos also bleed bosses and do percentage damage to them you do not have to spend time mutating their damage very high to kill alpha bosses. I have beat the 3 alpha island bosses with an army of slightly mutated deinos before. You would struggle doing the same with slightly mutated rexs.
If you get to close to one( on a flyer) it well jump on you and gash you
If you see a pack of them near a good level egg don't go for it unless you got good tames because they will tear you apart
Guys the best thing to do is get a flyer and use a whip to get your egg 🥚
Hi guys
Here is a little tip from me. Take a Pteranodon and fly to a Deino nest. When u found the right one then u look after the Deinoychus parents. When they are not in range fly to the nest and grab the egg. When they are in range then fly near to the parents and wait until they are agro on you. Fly away go fast to the nest grab the egg and fly back off. Now u must bring the egg in an area with 5 to 6 air conditioners.
With this method I have grabt in an half hour more then 10 eggs
Up when u love Deinonychus like me
So these guys are not a knock out game you have to find the nests which are in white cliffs in valguero. I went and used an Argentavis to fly down to he nest and got the egg and quickly left I did this to multiple nests in one run not to difficult.
These are amazing and killing alpha creatures beachside of their bleed effect, a high level can solo kill an alpha raptor or a low lv alpha carno, and with the alpha Rex you can jump on their hind legs and bite them without being hit by the Rex, I’ve killed over 10 alpha Rex’s with these things.
welcome to my one million paragraph tip abt how to get a deinonychus
warning it is very detailed and will take u 500 years to read /hj
don’t try knocking these guys out bc 1. u can’t access their inventory (if wild) and 2. u can’t tame them that way anyways.
how u actually “tame” them is u have to steal their eggs. in fjordur they r slightly rare but r all over the broken meadows, and in valguero they r in the chalk hills and anywhere near there except beaches (and they r a LOT more common).
theres nest spawns in some location with hard to see eggs in them but their red glow gives them away. incase u have never seen the eggs before, they r mostly a dark blue with grayish green spots on them.
i recommend using a flyer but using a land mount or even being on foot is actually pretty possible (but u need to have a lot of movement speed bc they r super fast). ive only used a flyer before so ill only explain the flyer part.
if ur early game a pteranodon should prob be the easiest. otherwise a argy or wyvern should be good bc argies can pick up the deinonychus and wyverns r pretty tanky and deal a lot of damage. for me, i usually find the deinonychus gang somewhere else so i just scoop in with a ptera and fly away. if the deinonychus gang is at the nest leading them away is prob the best option bc there might be a high level which means better egg. but if u cant for some reason, or theres too many low levels or levels u dont want then u should kill them. but do remember they have a bleed attack and can latch onto ur dino
hatching the almighty chicken is very similar to a wyvern. i believe they even have the same temperature requirements. 9-12 standing torches or campfires should be enough (depending on where u r). if ur using dimetrodons then i think 1 or 2 can incubate it as long as they have high melee. as for air conditioners, i actually don’t know
and raising them is basically the same as any other carnivore. their saddle unlocks around level 25, so they r the perfect starter tame. and enjoy ur aggressive chicken
People are giving conplicated advice all you need to do is go with a flyer and snatch an egg that doesn't have then around if there is alot around grab anything like an Anky and use it as bait
Their nests can actually be found around the castle that’s in the grasslands. The castle there is also a decent base location with nearby deinonychus eggs to snatch and hatch or use for extraordinary kibble to tame things faster. Deinonychus are also great creatures to have to move around and take no fall damage while your mounted, and they also do a bleed effect with their attacks. I would say this is a useful tame, as they can climb walls (such as cliffs, etc.).
Do not try to knock them out just steal their eggs trust me it’s way to hard to knock them out
If you main on aberation get a reaper and if u have a lvl 200 you 1 tap em and if you dont tail whip then bite bite.
#1. Ride your flying mount and scout for deinos nests at chalk zone biome.
#2. Stop at high ground and wait for the parent deinos to chase something away from nest. Or use your Argentavis to carry and drop nearby Ankylo or Doedicurus as a bait to distract the guarding deinos. (Be smart! Wait for the perfect opportunity to do step #3)
#3. Approach the egg using your flying mount quickly!
#4. Jump out near the egg -> TAKE THE EGG QUICKLY -> jump in and fly away ASAP! (This must be done in less than 5sec!)
#5. Make a 4x4 thatch/any foundation with closed wall, roof and a door entrance.
#6. Place 10 standing torches inside. (Add more if the egg says "too cold")
#7. Drop the egg/s then light up the torches.
#8. Wait for the incubation to reach 0%.
*These steps are meant for beginners or first timers on snatching and hatching Deinonychus egg @ VALGUERO map. Good luck!
Use a flyer to lead them away then fly back to grab the egg.
You cannot outrun these so you must use stealth. When near the nest you must crawl around and use objects to hide yourself from the full grown ones. Secure the egg and get the hell out of there and make sure to run away by running behind objects so it slows them down.
