Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
You will need a flyer if you want it easy (on fjordur I was able to get one on foot with parachutes) they can be found around the tip of the North Island in fjords and the white chalky cliffs to the south east of Valgero. They need the same heat as a wyvern so 15 campfires, indoors. After reading them they are the replacement of raptors and can jump far distances, latch, not climb, on walls, attach themselves to prey, and cause a bleeding effect. I would put points into stamina, speed, and health, maybe even carry weight and health if it is lacking in those two.
It’s pretty easy to tame these things you could use a flyer to bait the deinonychus away from the nests, but what I did was used an obelisk to bring a crystal wyvern to Valgero than I found a nest with only a couple of deinonychus killed them grabbed the egg and incubated it with like 15 to 20 torches. If you want to quickly get one I definitely recommend this only took me about a half hour to get one
If you kill the parents’ you can get the eggs easier, get a fly mount or a strong mount to kill them. I had a fly mount, killed them found a few 140, 135, I think a 145.
If there’s a nest on a cliff on fjordor then lead them off the cliff and grab the egg
Use a oviraptor or whatever it is called and a pt pick up the oviraptor and let the oviraptor take the egg the oviraptor will take the egg without Dino’s knowing
If you have a decent level argy collecting eggs is a breeze.
Just pick up wild ones in the area. Kill. If they latch on you can still attack and kill them. And then just clean house. Easy tame, easy kibble
grab a pt. snatch a high level egg. use a lot of torches and campfires. you got one of the best dinos in ark
If your lucky enough to steal an egg all you need is I believe 11 torches
And if you got the saddle I’d say you are off with a good start
Get a Pteranodon with a good amount of stamina, swoop down and lead all the parents/ adult Deinys off cliffs and ledges nearby ubtil you can safely jump off and graab the eggs.
Only obtained by searching for eggs, just like wyverns and drakes. Watch out for the pack though. They protect the nest and with their latching and bleeding abilities, they can be quite formidable. Either be quick about sneaking in and grabbing eggs, or kill them all. There is no in between...
Bro just make sure they’re not to close and we’ll boom grab the egg and if u have Dino dip and if u don’t ……..RUUUN BACH RUUUUUN
Here’s what I have to say about these furry raptors, find the nest. I play on Fjordur and I found a nest a a cliff. They will camp there nest and try to protect it, kill the parents then take the egg, I suggest using something fast to take the egg.
Get a flyer and stay off the ground and look for a nest and make Sure there are none in the area and go to the nest get it and go straight up to got out of the jump attack
Good early game dino, it’s easy to get eggs for them
1: Tame a Giant moth (forgot what they are called)
2: Upgrade stamina and weight (500+ health should be good)
3: whenever they come close drop a moth poison and fly away, hopefully with an egg, i got 4 in 3 minutes.
Not fun to encounter. They live in packs and give a bleed effect, so they are pretty strong. They are not a knock out tame so don’t waste tranq arrows/darts on them! You have to steal eggs found in their nests. They spawn in the white cliffs & i have encountered them in the forest aswell so be carefull! What i usually do is get on an argentavis and take a parasaur with me. I use the parasaurs roar to scare the deinonychus away, then i take the egg. When hatched you got yourself a new tame. They are fun to play around with. They are quick & can climb on walls. If you have a pack they can shred through dinos. Not to mention how cute they actually are, especially the baby’s. Hope this helped!
Got an egg w and argie and didn’t even get attacked. This is how
1: find a safe spot and scout for nests
2: once you have found your desired nest, wait at it, high enought so they don Agro.
3: one è the coast is clear, park ur argie at the nest
4: take the egg and get on ur argie(or other flier) AND FLY LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FLEW BEFORE
5: get a few standing torches n stuff. The temp they need to hatch is the same as a wyvern!!!!!! (85-84)
6:feed it n imprint I as much as u can
7:lv it up when grown
WHAM BAM U GOT A BOSS KILLER MA’AM!
I don’t have any flyers but there’s a deinon nest on the the other side I think I’m going to put a bunch of spikes on the entrance build on the gap in the canyon lead them off the cliff and steal there egg also I’m not gonna bring any of my stuff just in case I die. Why I’m putting spikes it’s if there smart and go around it.
There are multiple strategies to stealing a deinonychus egg. 1: (solo) fly in with a pteranodon or argentavis and go low and grab the egg and fly before any grab you (this is the riskiest method but still pretty safe) 2: (solo) fly with an argent and drop a creature who can tank hits on passive farther away from the nest and then lead the deinonychus to it and grab an egg while they are distracted. 3: (2 or more people) have your other people distract the deinonychus while you grab an egg and fly away. 4: ( risky solo) run in with tons of bolas and bola all of them, grab an egg and run. 5: ( solo) build a trap, lead then into the trap, and then grab as many eggs as you want. Those are the five I normally use depending on where I am in the game to give you guys options.
Get a pteranadon and find a nest. Land on a rock near the nests that they can't reach you on, but that your pteranadon can reach them from. The pteranadon can attack things from surprisingly far away. When that are all dead, claim your eggs. If there are no rocks to do this on, literally just land, dismount, grab the egg, mount, and leave, all as fast as you can.
It is just so easy.
