What is a deinonychus used for? deinonychus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
To the person asking how to use its climb on console, ah, great question, i am very edumacated in this topic. So, if it hasnt changed, if you jump towards a surface, the deino will latch on. From there, look up and jump again, and it will go up, aslong as your deino actually works, mine has been a bit bugged lately.

If you have a deinonychus, it can make taming awkward flyers like argies and quetzals much easier. If you don’t want to make a trap You can latch onto the flyer from quite a distance and then pull out your tranq gun/bow. The creature will try and get away (in the case of a quetz) or attack you (in the case of and Argie, idk if they can latch onto griffins or snow owls, but both of those would attack too) but if you’re latched on, there will be no escape. Once your deinonychus runs out of stam or your targeted flyer drops, the deinonychus won’t take any fall damage. I also think it may work on a mana, but don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t. I knocked out a 150 Argie with my deinonychus and no trap, but then again, I have a 281% dmg longneck.
These guys are strong and really good for bosses. I personally am currently breeding mine to mutate a really powerful army of them. Highly recommend them for bosses.
Also say my wild Dino max lol is 150. If I find a wild deinonychus that's lvl 150 then I kill all the other deinos, steal all the eggs and run OUT OF RENDER DISTANCE. By doing this the 150 is the inly one that can fill the nests and you will get deinos lvl 150 with the same stats for breeding and mutating.
Hope this helps!
They are like a raptor but 100000 times better.
Stealing its egg is not that hard, and hatching it is also easy. It is VERY fast, and it has also decent stats. When it hits other animals or people it applies a bleeding effect to them. They also can stick to walls and big dinos. I highly recommend you to get some of these
On Valguero and Fjördur only, unless you change the Server Settings to make them spawn on other maps aswell. If you meet a deino in the wild and you don't have a good tame, you should start running. They can latch on bigger prey like Rexes or Brontos, on cliffs and other surfaces, but they can't walk in that state, however you can jump up the surface to overcome any obstacle. Those beasts are able to stack a “bleed“ effect on anything they attack, it stacks up to 5. You should skill them on health and damage, that way they will just shred everything, even alphas and bosses.
Do you want to know how to get them? Yes?
Alright, here we go:
If you see a wild deino, there should be a Nest with one Egg nearby... just snatch it, but beware of the great deino Dynasty, they well come to get your Soul.
It is adviced to lure them away before you grab their precious Eggs. Good Luck.
