Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
It doesn’t actually take 9-10 standing torches I just tried it and I had to have 13 standing torches if I could show a picture I would ⬆️
For hatching these, I recommend you use 13 - 15 standing torches. If you do not use this amount, they will be “too cold”. These guys r gods at pvp and pve and you can get soo many eggs that they will soon be disposable. I highly recommend these creatures to you and their saddles is learnt at a low level. If this helps you, please leave it a like and try get it to the top

This new guy is pretty much like a raptor. There are 4 imprints 8 hour apart from each other. The egg incubation is 5 hours (like a Wyv). The baby stage is roughly 4 hours and the baby will be a Juvy at 10% (like any normal baby). Be careful though if hatching low level guys as they eat 3 meat per sitting so they go through it fast, and if leaving overnight there is a chance of starvation. Mine was a 140 and it’s food value is 3800. We hatched them Sunday morning at 10:30am (Juvy by 2:30pm) and my final Imprint is Monday evening at 6:30. He is now an Adolecent. Saddles unlock at lvl 32. Hopefully this helps you all because we had to test it in order to get the proper information. (R.I.P Lvl 100). GoodLuck !
Need a Minimum of 16 torches to hatch this egg. You can not tame, must find the nest and collect egg.
I just got my first egg (level 30) and I got triplets. I used 4 stone fireplaces to keep the egg warm.
Deinon’s are fast, early game I usually get deinon’s first since they are an awesome first tame. They eggs are difficult to get when new, like me so I set a bed down close to a nest but not too close then i lead them as far away as possible before they kill me, respawn at the bed and then go get the egg. You will need a bit of movement speed as they are so fast but its as simple as that! Thanks !
Deinonychus eggs can only be gotten like the rock Drake or wyverns, you just steal a fertilized egg from their nest. Normally I would use a snow owl to freeze it while my tribe mate grabs the eggs. Or you can have a gun and a dinosaur with good melee. (The gun to shoot it if it latches on your mount). And kill them and grab the eggs.
Just take a pteradon. Come to the nest. Grab the egg and fast fly away. Easy
For people that say it’s too cold for me I needed 11-20 standing torches on the beach hope it helps updoot please
Located in the south west portion of the map on a higher plateau. You will find their nests and many adults running around. Just use a flyer since they cant fly. Once grown up they can be bred
This is the easiest way to tame:
1. Grab you a flyer (you may want one with good speed so a deinonychus can’t latch onto you while your flying away)
2. Find a deinonychus nest
3. Check and make sure there are no deinonychus around if so try to lead them away with bait (or just be a man and run really fast)
4. Land and grab the egg QUICKLY and fly away. You will have to move fast because deinonychus are territorial.
5. Get around 10-15 standing torches or 5 campfires and place them into a circular position. Then place the egg in the middle.
6. Wait 30 minutes and voila you have a baby deinonychus. They shouldn’t take to long to grow.

You can find loads of eggs near the vannaland castle on fjordur. They saved me from starvation multiple times.
For all I know they are only found in the white cliffs in packs. There is a set of ruins with bridges. The nests that I know of are near the bridges guarded by rock elementals as well as the new fluffy raptor
I would suggest using a few campfires and a few air conditioners as well. Whenever you’re trying to make the egg and incubate is best to use for air conditioners, and if needed standing torches or campfires.
I JUST STOLE THREE EGGS WITH NOTHING BUT A PTERANODON AND PATIENCE
Use argy carrying tribemate with whip. With a little practice you will have no problems.
If you are alone, ride a pteranodon. This is because they cannot latch onto a pteranodon, but they can latch onto an argentavis. Lead the deinonychuses away from the nest and into a group of brontosauruses. Agro the brontos and make them hit the deinonychuses, and then watch carnage ensue. Rinse and repeat until the deinonychuses have all died, make sure brontos aren't agroed and then safely snatch the eggs from the nests. Using a whip is an optional choice to make things run smoother and faster. After this process, go somewhere else for a few minutes and come back to do it again. With very little practice, this can be a very effective method.
If there are no brontos in the area, use the pteranodon as a weapon. Swoop in and twirl into the deinonychuses until they die. WATCH OUT for raptors. They WILL dismount you in a heartbeat, whether they were targetting you beforehand or not. After the deinonychuses are dead, swoop in and snatch the eggs before leaving and repeating the process.
Tip use a pt to leade them away and then you can easily go steal the egg on fjordur it takes 16 to 18 standing fires -icedragon
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!
Use torches not camp fires. Torches are hotter and smaller.
