Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a deinonychus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a deinonychus.
There is a round area in the white cliffs with a natural wall all around apart from one entry/exit so if you put a double gate you can lead them in, leave the area and come back and if you fill the area with just high levels you get loads
Have a Tapejara, one guy rides it, one guy goes front seat with a whip, just fly to any nest and whip the egg, easy way to steal eggs without being in trouble. Same goes to a Griffin but the rider can do both things.
Everyone talks about how it’s so hard to get but it’s really not if you have the right stuff. I recommend getting a PT and just luring them away then you can just steal the eggs. I got about 7 eggs in 20 min using this method. Be careful because they do a bleed damage that stacks so make sure your PT has a good amount of health. They have a cool secondary attack where they latch on to larger creatures and continuously hit them. I wouldn’t use an Argy for this because they will latch on to you. They need a lot of heat to hatch so I would have as many standing torches as possible 👆so people see this.
There not just in chalk hills there all over the map near swamp bio and forest bio.Theres is even a camp near green spire.
Easy, tame a pack of pteranodons and attack each deinonychus, theyll get distracted, easy, get the eggs and fly away
Best way ton het their eggs is to jus sit in a pteranodon and make them fillow you tegen fly of a vliff and they Will just jump off.
Tegen you van grab all tje eggs without any atacking you.
In got like 20 eggs in online about 30mins
These are auctally not that hard to get eggs from if you have a flyer because they are pretty much always fighting something making it very easy to steal their egg’s although I have had bad luck with finding good levels
This is 2 ways to gather eggs efficiently.
1) You need a tribe mate to help with this one and 2 fliers. I would use some decent argy’s with stamina and health. Your tribe mate will fly over the nest low to the floor and agro the deinonychus and fly away slowly. They will keep the agro and leave the nest but try not to get hit their bleed does 10% of your health. Once clear you will fly down grab the eggs and fly away while informing your tribe mate that they can loose agro.
2) This one is a bit more difficult but it’s good for when you’re solo. You need a good flier who can carry a tanky dino. For the flier I would use an argy and the tank would be an anky. You fly over the nest and gather the agro and then fly away while carrying your tank. You lead the deinonychus away and drop the tank so they start eating it. You then quickly fly back to the nest to get the egg and fly away. If your tank is still alive you can try pick it up but be careful if your hot they do 10% of your health. Your tank should have some decent health to give you time as when it dies the deinonychus will return to the nest to kill you in short time.
Hope this helps you guys get some eggs :)
Tame a high level Raptor or something small in size so they can’t latch on to you, kill the group and raid the nests. Unlike Wyverns, looting the egg doesn’t spawn more and force aggro onto you, so it’s probably the easiest tame in the entire game with a single decent level dinosaur
Best is to wait for the adult Deinos to go away and snatch it with a fly Dino if they hit you completely destroy them erase this species of valguero
Getting eggs for these on Valguero super easy for low levels:
Step 1: spawn in the chalk hills area near the end of the lake and there should be an abundance of lymantria
Step 2: speed run a lymantria saddle and then easily tame a lymantria with a bola and a bow(no crossbow needed)
Step 3: distract the deinonychus when you find a nest, lure them away and use the fart attack on lymantria, quickly hurry back to the nest and steal the egg, you must be very quick, even though the Lymantria can slow down the deinonychus
Step 4: hatch all the eggs, use about 15 standing torches lined up like this in rows of 5: _

Step 5: breed these for health, stamina, weight, and melee as these are the most important stats for deinonychus
Step 6: make packs of 5 and go kill pretty much anything with them, they can easily kill tamed gigas if mutated and they are also great as an all-around mount for PVE and PVP, they are insanely fast travelers, can be boss killers, are are overall super useful because of their fall damage negation, high attack, bleed damage, fast speed, charge jump, and somewhat of a climb ability.
If your egg is spoiling you should put more standing torches down, the number of standing torches varies depending on the climate of the area. Usually you will need about 11 to 12 torches. Good luck!
From What i tested takes about 20 standing torches to hatch and takes as long as a wyvern. There are a decent amount of nests rear the ruins in the white cliffs.
Yo any ideas on where to find nests on fjord cause these guys are there as well
You cannot tame them, only hatch them. Found ONLY on Valguero map i white chalk cliffs. Rhey can latch onto surfaces. Not like thylacalyo. They have special bleed ability that causes target to lose 5% of healt in five seconds. If this was useful like. This is my first tip. By, and peace
I have a pack to really strong dire wolves, and two deinoychus nests a little ways from my house. I simply take my pack of dire wolves, go kill them, and take the eggs. I now have like 15 eggs and three fluffy raptors of my own.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT ITS NOT JUST FOUND IN THE WHITE CLIFFS! FOUND SOME IN A FOREST AT THE SIDE OF THE MAP SOMEWHERE ON A CLIFF.
Nests spawn around the packs, and respawm when the packs go to different locations. What other people say about where they found nests are immaterial.
To steal a deinonychus egg in valgeuro, you can do it very early by starting in the chalk cliffs and then making a crap tin if bolas to bola all the deinons so you can easily grab an egg or two and run. From there deinonychus are very good at bringing down small to mid sized theropods as well as traversing around the cliff environment.
Put all your stuff in a storage box. Run into the white cliffs find a nest with no deinonychus nearby (or just distracted) grab the egg and run to your base. Easy first tame.
Up so noobs can see.
