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)

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.

A really easy way to get one of these bad boys are on a just wait till they are gone out of the radius then check the level and grab if you need it and if it's a low level always take it you can use it for kibble and then you can get higher level eggs spawning (hopefully) hope you find this helpful

I’d suggest getting 15-30 eggs at a time. Reason is because u can find anything from lvl 1-150. I’ve been searching for some decent eggs for a few hours, and found a few 40s some 20-25s and one 95. My difficulty is at 1 (I’d go harder but my game won’t let me.) and I can find lvl 150 deinonychus by just roaming around. Just explore and you’ll find something. Look in white cliffs. They’re everywhere there.

They are super easy to get do not fear to just get them right away all you need is a bird. They nest bottom right and they take one standing torch to incubate be ready with food because they get hungry quick when they hatch. They are really fast and i think they might turn around this disgusting mana meta.

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!

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.
