Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
Stole an egg on Fjordur, was trying to position campfires and the such for awhile to get temp right. Then I remembered swamp island is hotter than the rest of locales. Flew there and in castle set up ten standing torches inside a wood building as well as a dimetrodon on each side of egg. Worked for me. Standing torches set up along one side of egg in a straight line. Hope this helps.
All you need to do to tame one, is you just have tame a ptera or other flyer, lure them away from nest (they hardly do that much dmg in the wild, as they don't use their strongest attack) snatch an egg, hatch using multiple fires of any kind, ac's will work as well. Once you hatch them, these little buggers EAT, and you will need a large food supply. They do not eat anything special, just give them some raw meat, and they'll be fine. When you manage to grow them fully, which does not take very long, they grow rather fast, they are rather op. They are faster than a raptor, they have a stacking bleed effect making them op in packs, and have an ability to jump on the back of larger prey, and start feasting on them before they even die, which applies stacks of bleed damage.
If you have no dinos just put everything in speed if you do getting any eggs will be easy I was able to get 5 egg in jus a few minutes
I see tons is nests in vannaland south in fjordur
I saw one of these die to hyenadons so I stole its egg. I’m in fjordur with barely a bow. I tried 8 campfires and 4 standing torches it’s still to cold.
PLEASE HELP ME
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.
Grab the egg and peg it on a flying Dino
Really the easiest way to steal the eggs is to grab a pteranodon, and get the deinonychuses aggroed on you, and you get them to chase you either off a cliff or aggro it onto another wild dino, then take the egg. If you dont have those options you could wait till the deinos wander away from the egg or kill them yourself. (theyre pretty easy to kill with a high level pteranodon as long as its not a huge pack)
Take as long to hatch as a wyvern.
On Fjordur, use a pteradon to lure the Deinons off a cliff before stealing their eggs.
Spawn on beach zone 2 there will be a huge mountain go into there steal da egg and the RUN btw u cant tame it it will take a room and 3 air conditioners on each side and put the egg on the middle it will start taming am sure.
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.
Get any flyer and lore the deinonychus away and take the eggs, it’s pretty easy!
I used 30 campfires an I could hatch 5 at a time.
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.
One of the easiest ways to obtain Deinonychus eggs early-on in Fjörder is to tame a Snow Owl. R - Snow Owls can be found near the redwoods and are an easy tame, even at a higher level. With their swoop, you can glide down and get the aggro of nearby rexes and lead them to the deinonychus, or lead the deinonychus to stegos / trikes if there isn't any rexes nearby. If you are too low of a level for the Snow Owl saddle, Pterandons are advised. I would personally avoid any conflict between you and the actual Deinonychus. It is easier to deal with a rex than the cliff chickens. Before I forget, they can be found all around the large castle located near the grasslands. The area is very dangerous and I would stick to the air. The best mounts for the job are Griffins or Desmodus, but I would rather get them early with a Snow Owl or Pteranodon.
If you fly out of render or get out of render then come back it auto respawn the egg with the same parent, do this for infinite cool colored or good leveled deinonychus
I value the deinonychus highly, it can easily solo creatures that are reasonably high tier and it’s pack power is exponential. In terms of getting their eggs, I’ve found that’s it’s a good idea to lead them off a cliff with a flying mount.
Nah...ima show you the savage way to grab an egg. First, you will need to put your birthday suit on. Then run up there like a mad man streaking thru the outback kiting the deinos to any other animal trying to find the actual nest. Grab one and run for dear life to water. (It works. I just did it)
