Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
These creatures like to spawn on mountain / cliffs sides just take a flyer agro The horde lure them off a cliff take the egg from the now unguarded nest problem solved
72.9 60.9 there is a Custer of nests. Just got three eggs at once after killing the four deinonychus’ up here. You’ll have to either climb or fly up here.
Use torches not camp fires. Torches are hotter and smaller.
No need for difficult tips. Heres an easy one for ya to know how to get deino egg!!!
First you need a ptera
Then you need dodo
And then you just lure the deinos away with the dodo and ptera and steal the egg!
Simple isn’t it? Up for more pals to know this nice tip!
Just for fair warning these guys Take 14 campfires to Incubate, Sorry for my lack of knowledge on How that would Translate to Dimetredons, Air Conditioners, ETC.
How to get a deinonychus:
-Deinonychus can't be tamed, and you can only get one by stealing their eggs and hatching them.
1. Tame a flyer like a pteranodon, and carry another smaller dino like a dodo.
2. Fly over the nest, and lure the deinonychus far away from the nest, then drop the dino you're carrying. You might not need a dino to carry with your flyer if there's a ciff nearby, because you can just lead the deinonychus down the cliff.
3. After you've lured away the deinonychus, you can go back to the nest and steal the eggs.
-Now you need to hatch the eggs. If you're using standing torches, I'm not exactly sure how many you need, but probably around 11-20.
-After you've hatched the egg, instantly fill up the baby deinonychus' inventory with meat.
Hope this helped!

TAMING
So first of all you need to steal egg fron nest (i recomend flier) so if parents not near just get off recharge stamina yoink egg and fly tf outta there
INCUBATING
Once you have egg (If youre in fjouldur or really cold zone)
Disable object collition in your ark settings (main menu>General Settings>Disable collision when putting structures>Put on)
Then build a 2x2 tatch hut and place 16 standing torches in a square form leaving a space for you to put egg put 12 wood on each torch (200 Total) put egg lit all torches and wait
Congrats! you have a nice dino btw FEED HIM OFF RIGHT WHEN IT HATCHES OR IT WILL DIE (Learned the hard way)
STATS
I suggest putting stmina health, Melee and weight
But speacially weight and stamina since the two are very low
TIPS
-To climb jump towards you wanna climb then face up and press jump again wait until it latches to the wall or tree then press again
-Put it in apack of attleast 3 for pack bonus minumum level for alpha is 45
-Following Deinos CANT CLIMB
-U can use weapons when mounted on him
-Saddle on lv 32 and really cheap
Enjoy! Sincerely player that hates searching on wikis
Tame a pt and name it white van, scout out the trench and find an unguarded nest. Land and grab the egg and then c spin out.
For anyone who plays like a scaredy cat so do i and I got them on valguero by leading all of the adults off a cliff with a pt and then taking the egg hope this helps
On fjordur go to 40 60 right by the realm portals up above it, you'll see a arch and boom nests, found 4 in that area
Just got 3 egg just with a pt with good stam and speed. Just go to a nest Withought many nearby, grab the egg and run, like your life depends on it. (Because it dose.) I got 3 eggs. But at cost.. I don’t think I’m able to physically handle that much pressure as a 10 year old child only with cloth armor 0-0 (or mentally)
But hey I got some eggs.
Heat required for incubation is the same as wyvern eggs so you need about nine campfires. Up if this helped:)
Is anyone else losing the eggs when you pick them up, they are spoiling immediately, is this a bug?
Getting eggs is super easy. Just put all your stuff in a chest, tame like a level two Pterodon, and make the Dienonychus yeet themselves off a cliff. Free eggs for you.
To tame these you just need a flyer and eyeballs that work to see the nest
When using an incubator to breed, temp is 85, thumbs up if this helps
During events when on 3x or better you can breed then to adult in less thsn 24 hours with just one 100% imprint.
The nest respawn VERY fast. Like literally as soon as the area is out of render. If you hit up multiple locations you can make a route so you’ll never have to wait for eggs respawns.
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
To hatch surround with four Fireplaces. Also works for wyverns
