What is a deinonychus used for? deinonychus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I use anywhere from 15-20 standing torches to hatch their eggs. Works like a charm. As for stealing eggs, I usually use a pteranodon. I like to lure some of the adults away first, by flying close to the ground for a bit and then striaght up once they're far away, then I grab any eggs I see. Honestly easy enough and they're amazing tames.
Great for abberation or ab zone on val exploration. Tribe mate and I took 2 wild raised eggs and like 50 armor saddles and destroyed literally everything we came accross. 2 crabs and 3 spinos at once? piece of cake. I recommend 2.5k+ health, min of 1k stam, pump melee between 350-400 = absolute monsters. You can solo the broodmother with 1 that has decent stats and saddle. no joke. oh they can leap up cliffs/trees = great for ab! please like
Deinonychus are very underrated for boss fights especially on low rate servers. If you use a yuty with them the bosses will target the yuty and not the deinos. This means they will not get hit much so don’t need crazy mutated health. Deinos can also form a wall and stop the boss getting to you. Since deinos also bleed bosses and do percentage damage to them you do not have to spend time mutating their damage very high to kill alpha bosses. I have beat the 3 alpha island bosses with an army of slightly mutated deinos before. You would struggle doing the same with slightly mutated rexs.
