How ARK players tame and knock out the Deinonychus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Need a Minimum of 16 torches to hatch this egg. You can not tame, must find the nest and collect egg.

When you just transferred to Valguero you need to wait a bit before eggs can spawn

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…

Quick tip! If your nervous its most likely that youll slip up. Take a breather and lock in. You got this! They can smell your fear.

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

Just land in the nest with a pt, take the egg when there not around or distracted, no need for bait. Use about 15 standing torches. Me and my friend tamed 4 high lvls using this method.

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

Everyone is overcomplicating getting egg. Just fly when one isn’t too close grab it leave. Or the way I do it, kill them all then grab the egg. Don’t need bait with argy or anything useless like that. Don’t make useless sacrifice with bait.

Use argy carrying tribemate with whip. With a little practice you will have no problems.

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…

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

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…

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…

Just take a pteradon. Come to the nest. Grab the egg and fast fly away. Easy

I just waited for them to go after other Dino’s and stole their eggs

One of the lowest risk ways to get eggs is to simply have a flyer, fly near enough to aggro them but not close enough to let them attack you, then simply lead them off a cliff. That will give you plenty of time to check nests. This won’t work on every spawn, because they…

you can't knockout tame them you can only take the eggs and raise them I say get high level eggs and breed the deininychus for higher level ones
