Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
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

I found a nest at exactly 42.8 and 82.5
Found nests around 45° 75° near the castle there on fjordur hope this helps
I just got my first egg (level 30) and I got triplets. I used 4 stone fireplaces to keep the egg warm.
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
Need a Minimum of 16 torches to hatch this egg. You can not tame, must find the nest and collect egg.
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.
For people that say it’s too cold for me I needed 11-20 standing torches on the beach hope it helps updoot please
Aight ya'll want a deinonychus on day 1? Spawn chalk hills zone 1, and there is a ravine right next to spawn. Go to the end of the ravine to find the ramp that leads into the ravine, and there will be 2 deinon nests. Snag an egg and run. Hold onto the egg until you can make 3 standing torches. Hatch the egg and feed the baby. Now you have a hunting companion that you will be able to ride upon reaching level 32. With your newfound mount, you can effortlessly steal more eggs whenever you please.
Get a flyer like a Pteranodon or an Argentavis and fly close to the Deinonychus guarding the eggs so that they start running towards you (try not to get hit). Lure them off a cliff or just a few meters away. Fly back to the nests (make sure they don't follow you back), get all the eggs.
Usually if they're a few meters away they will either not notice you stealing eggs or they won't be fast enough to get to you. You don't need to get a bait or anything like that.
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
You can only tame these by getting them from the nests. Personally, I've had worries since the eggs weren't spawning and I just kept finding empty nests (I play singleplayer), but don't worry, guys. Your game isn't broken. The world/save/whatever-you-wanna-call-it takes an hour or two to start spawning the eggs in the nests.

If you’re hatching these bad boys on Fjordur, be prepared to spend a lot more standing torches than you think you’ll need. The cold on Frojdur is crazy, and these guys want a LOT of heat. - KD
Use argy carrying tribemate with whip. With a little practice you will have no problems.
For getting their eggs, just use a spy glass to locate some high level deinonychus roaming around. Then find nearby nests and check the eggs to see if they are good levels. Use a fast fly like a pteranodon or another flyer, argy etc. if it’s a good level just yoink it while the parents are away or just swoop in a grab it if your feeling risky. For hatching just use lots of campfires or torches to incubate and have lots of food when it wakes up(it will be starving) stay by egg when incubating so it doesn’t die while you are away. After that just imprint it and do the tasks as it says. Then boom, jumpy raptor👍
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.
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
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.

Just take a pteradon. Come to the nest. Grab the egg and fast fly away. Easy
Incubates at 73 Fahrenheit and bolas can be used on them
