Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
Use a Pteranadon to lure the Deino's off a cliff, or lure them to a highly armored dino such as a Doedicuris or Ankylosaurus, or have a friend lure them away from the nests. Grab the eggs quickly! Deino are fast and will close in on you quickly. Eggs are very quick to respawn so can make rounds to all the nests and get plenty of eggs! Me and my friend got about 20 lvl 100+ eggs in about 30 minutes.
An easy way to steal some eggs to hatch your own with some friends is to have a flyer and carry your buddy, he can grab the egg without having to touch the ground! Even better if your friend has a whip.
These feathered raptors can seem daunting to tame, but here’s a guide to help you.
1. stealing the eggs is nearly impossible without dying if you don’t have a flyer. Pteranodons work great and are quite early game so I recommend them. Argys can be good though, because they have more health and so are less likely to die to the deinonychus
2. fly over to the place the eggs are in valguero (they are found around) the giant white cliffs and land on a ledge above the nest you want to raid. This is the hardest part, dart in and bite one, then lure the pack off a cliff or far enough away from the nest that they won’t aggro when you grab the eggs. It’s even better if you can get them aggrod on something else like a bronto that will distract or even kill them
3. Go back and grab the egg(s)and immediately fly to a place the deinonychus can’t get to. (in case they aren’t far enough away) and scan for deinonychus. You can either fly back to base or go for more eggs at this point
4. Once at base make several torches or campfires to incubate the egg. Once hatched they will eat raw meat, and it is a normal baby raise. I highly recommend imprinting if it’s a high level to boost its stats.
Happy taming!
Most effective way for my gf & i on getting the eggs is: 1 fly around on a Tapejara, eat a rare flower, have them follow you while your partner collects the eggs. Tapejara seems to be the best choice cause it’s extremely easy to fly around on a safe altitude. Tip from Ashley & April.
In my opinion the best way to get the eggs is to go to a cliff that have a side. If you see them then it is good then look for nest. After you find a nest you get a fast flyer [not a agrg] and take thim of the side of the cliff so you can get the egg with ezzz (this was the shortest tip ever)
Need to take egg and hatch to spawn egg ( GFI fertilized deinonychus 1 1 0) that’s how to spawn like if helpful
Me and a friend sprinted in and grabbed eggs. Mine was 145 and his was 135! RIP all the jerboas we sacrificed
Please help I have 10 standing torches and it’s still cold :(
It’s health isn’t going down tho.
Tame a high lol ptera and level speed and some stamina make a whip and some flak armor just in case. Make sure your whip is equipped before you mount up and just fly high so you don't agro then dive on nest, land, hop off,whip remount and fly. Argy is safer but slower if you decide to go that route. I also bring a pump shotty in case I can't remount fast enough. These guys don't do a ton of damage to low hp dinos and players. On par with raptors at best in wild. So fighting a few on foot with flak isnt undoable.
These bad boys are found in the chalk hills if you want an easy egg location spawn in “Chalk hills 1” there go up and find a giant rock deinonychus nests spawn there and that is how I got all 6 of mine.
Just get a equus, ride in there yeet the egg into your inventory with a laso and run for your life.
Make sure not to kill them because they won’t giv eggs anymore if u do no more eggs build metal or trek gates on end of bridge if u want infinite amount of eggs you can build gates around an area as a containment area for them so they won’t be fighting a golem and die
To hatch use 9 fire in a room use 200+ wood and make sure you take the wall down to get them out I got triplets from my first egg. Woop
If you want one bring like 2+ ankylosaurs with you into there nests, the ankylo’s will kill the deinonychus and you can take there eggs.
These are three ways to tame a deinonychus. Note: These do work, I’ve tried them.
1: Get a bunch of movement speed, grab the egg, and run outta there. (For modded/unofficial)
2: Wait for them to attack a creature, then grab the egg and run for your life. (Any type of map)
3: Bola your tribemate/Dino as a distraction, then grab the egg. (Basically a quicker way of option 2, also any map)
To clear the area around the nests, I’ve found a good leveled Argentavis is perfect. The healing buff from eating largely negates the bleed effect.
A baby Deinonychus CAN fit inside a Procoptodon’s pouch.
These things are better than raptors🦖🦎
Deinonychus are very useful early game and even late game. Deinonychus will rip u apart if you go near their best. The best way to get them early game is to place a bed and make them follow you. Redrawn at the bed and quickly steal one.
There you go, you have a Deinonychus early game.
There very cool and good. I love the deinonychus.
