Definitely a dino worth your time and effort, you can snatch the eggs super early game with a lymantria by luring and cropdusting the parents, and they can be bred for boss battles and PvP.

A few tips:

-No fall damage

-Pounce range and direction is determined by what you're aiming at with your mouse, imagine an invisible crosshair in the middle of your screen. -The pounce goes a lot further than you think, they can latch onto hovering Manticore, as their vertical wall leap (once latched) is 5-6 walls.

-They can still pounce/wall climb when overencumbered, with the same range/mobility, so you can just hop home with all that metal ore you're carrying.

-A fang symbol will appear on pouncable targets, you just have to press Jump once and watch your Deino turn into a raptor sized homing leech missile. For some reason argies are no problem, but YutyS are unpouncable.

-You will need to target Hp, StaM and dmg

Fast, Agile, Can climb, Latch on bigger creatures and pounce on smaller ones, can glide a bit and doesn't take fall damage, does good damage and even inflicts an stackable bleed and Saddle is just lvl 32.

These things are awesome they latch onto your opponents giant dinosaurs they have a blood damage that stacks and they do massive damage and they can glide and have no fall damage much like the rock Drake but just can't cloak and it's still awesome though 😀thanks for reading!

If you hold jump then let go it will charge your jump for longer range

Their claw attack dose area of effect damage! Great speed and high attack makes them stellar at gathering meat!

These things are amazing for fighting the Dragon boss due to the fact that the dragon can't hit these guys AND they do the bleed effect which stacks. If you can get these, I'd recommend doing so and pumping health.

Get the egg and book for the hills

The deinonychus is not immune to radiation

Today I figured out that if you roar with the deinonychus you get a boost.

Level stamina, dmg, and health. Then get a pig and u can take down every alpha boss on the island

Can barely climb do not tame for climbing.

Stole a 145 egg day 1,could kill level 100 rexes and broncos,trikes,raptors easy. Pretty fast and strong so easy to traverse the map.

the controls are tricky to get the hang of, but this might be one of the most fun mounts to ride!

So this thing is my favorite Dino no question. One there not that hard to tame all you need to do is find a nest and you now have an infinite supply of eggs (if you play on single player or even online but there will be some competition for them) it’s sad that there only on two maps but fjordur is at least a great map. So the one downside I found with these guys is that their climbing is kinda messed up or at least on controller so what I found is they jump wherever there head is facing so that’s what you want to look for when climbing as well there climbing is just generally messed up with the fact that they will sometimes just not jump onto wall you’ll jump but they just won’t grab the wall. Overall my favorite Dino

-REX

I killed a 145 alpha Rex with a single deinonychus. I took advantage of the fact it can’t harvest bodies so I wait till it kills something and then attack it. It doesn’t aggro to me, but it will occasionally go to get something else so wait till it kills that than attack it some more. Bleed effect really helps in this situation

The saddle engram sometimes doesn’t work so look for the saddle before gathering the mats

my favourite tame in ark by FAR. a pack of these with level 200+ can destroy almost anything. the bleed damage they do is percent based meaning the more health something has, they higher the damage they will do with bleed. the mobility on these guys is crazy. they are very fast, and if you hold space bar (or whatever your jump button is) you can do a charged jump which will make you go higher and further. you can scale vertical or slanted surfaces with their climbing ability. they are also just adorable. fluffy raptors = the better raptor

Anyone has any idea of how to use his climb ability on console?

These things take no fall damage and can scale cliffs by jumping then latch onto a new point. They can latch onto larger dinos by jumping once a bite icon shows up either near the larger dinos legs or neck.

Holding down the jump button will make it jump higher and you can also latch onto walls if you jump into one and melee this animal does not take fall damage so don’t worry if you fall off a cliff
