What are tips for deinonychus? Tips and strategies for deinonychus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Please note most of the egg spawns are guarded by 5 story bodyguards called rock golems also the nests look like a circle of bones and sticks.
You can use em for base defense :)
Get 150 movement speed and a decent bit of stam for stats, throw a sleeping bag down, run into the nest argoing anything near, run as far away from nest as u can before dying, spawn at bag and theres not any near their nests unless one wandered in, i did it as a bob with no tools or armor lol
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 🐦
I just tranq the adults I can find and then swoop in with my Griffin, hop off and grab and run off l
There is 2 nests around 85 74
And this is for valegu

They great tames I know there rapid but you latterly can level one to tame all you need to do is find a nest get out hatch and boom you have deinonychus up if was helpful
Carrying an oviratpor that's following your survivor with an argy, waiting for the deinonychus to get distracted, and allowing the oviratpor to use it's ability steal the eggs without alerting the pack is a super easy way to get them. Got 5 eggs in no time on Fjordur.
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.
For this Dino it's a bit weird but I found a good way to do it without loosing much. I steal an egg from the wyvern trench on val and pick up the deinonychus and put it in a body of water because they are very slow swimmers and then I take the egg. Please up if this helps
Tame these guys in summer event for really cool colours
Use fireplaces to incubate it's works with anything
Their great tames to have, make the highest tier of kibble, do bleed, have good mobility, great for boss fights and that stuff, but need to steal their eggs and hatch them, I do so by taming an ptera use it to get aggro of the deinonychus then lure them away and get them to aggro on something else, fly back to the nest and steal the egg (this can work with any flier)
I seem to be only hatching males 🤔
If u just lead somthing there for them to attack, u can grab a egg easy.
