Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
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.
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
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
The good and bad of this Dino
The good: they can deal bleed damage to bosses
The bad: they only spawn on two maps
Up so noobs can see
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.
Came across a nest while exploring Valguero with my wyvern. Stayed on my mount and watched the adults for a few minutes -- they didn't even notice us. Hopped off, snagged the egg, and now I'm raising a lil red beauty.
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 :)
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
Wear full ghille suit to get eggs, also its good to have a lot of health and movement speed.
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
Best way to tame them I’ve found is to get a pt and fly near the debonychsy and lead them off a cliff then pillage to your delight
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
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.
Easy taming process
1. The deinonychus is in valguero map. Go there.
2. I spawned and went to 89.2 lat, 90 Lon. Where in the area I found 3 nests.
3. There were things distracted the deinonychuses and I ran in and found a nest. I took the egg. Be careful there are a lot of rock elementals.
4. Run as fast as you can to your base.
5. This egg needs to be super warm so I used at least 16 to 20 standing torches.
6. Light up the torches and wait.
7. When it hatches feed it some raw meat of any kind.
I hoped this helped you.
Grab a ptearonodon, snap those ankles off the cliff. Then you grab those eggs, incubate, then go f@#% around with it.
I saw this tip and its actaully useful, use a whip to get their eggs. You can use a flyer with a friend and you can get a egg mid air
I found a nest at exactly 42.8 and 82.5
How to get a deinonychus:
-Deinonychus can't be tamed, and you can only get one by stealing their eggs and hatching them.
1. Tame a flyer like a pteranodon, and carry another smaller dino like a dodo.
2. Fly over the nest, and lure the deinonychus far away from the nest, then drop the dino you're carrying. You might not need a dino to carry with your flyer if there's a ciff nearby, because you can just lead the deinonychus down the cliff.
3. After you've lured away the deinonychus, you can go back to the nest and steal the eggs.
-Now you need to hatch the eggs. If you're using standing torches, I'm not exactly sure how many you need, but probably around 11-20.
-After you've hatched the egg, instantly fill up the baby deinonychus' inventory with meat.
Hope this helped!

TAMING
So first of all you need to steal egg fron nest (i recomend flier) so if parents not near just get off recharge stamina yoink egg and fly tf outta there
INCUBATING
Once you have egg (If youre in fjouldur or really cold zone)
Disable object collition in your ark settings (main menu>General Settings>Disable collision when putting structures>Put on)
Then build a 2x2 tatch hut and place 16 standing torches in a square form leaving a space for you to put egg put 12 wood on each torch (200 Total) put egg lit all torches and wait
Congrats! you have a nice dino btw FEED HIM OFF RIGHT WHEN IT HATCHES OR IT WILL DIE (Learned the hard way)
STATS
I suggest putting stmina health, Melee and weight
But speacially weight and stamina since the two are very low
TIPS
-To climb jump towards you wanna climb then face up and press jump again wait until it latches to the wall or tree then press again
-Put it in apack of attleast 3 for pack bonus minumum level for alpha is 45
-Following Deinos CANT CLIMB
-U can use weapons when mounted on him
-Saddle on lv 32 and really cheap
Enjoy! Sincerely player that hates searching on wikis
Found nests around 45° 75° near the castle there on fjordur hope this helps
