How To Tame A Deinonychus In Ark, Survival Evolved:
Even though the Raptor may be one of the best-known and most popular two-legged animals in Ark: Survival Evolved, there is another one called Deinonychus. This bird-like, two-legged creature was introduced when the Valguero map came out and has since been used by many people for different tasks.
Even though the Deinonychus isn’t very big, it’s still a useful member of any tribe. In this guide, we’ll show you how to tame the Deinonychus in Ark: Survival Evolved.
In the game ARK: Survival Evolved, the Deinonychus is considered a special species because you can’t tame it in the usual way, by being quiet, or by stunning it. You have to steal a fertilised egg of his kind, that you can only find on Valguero, to make him your friend. After that, you’ll have a mount that can do damage, move quickly, and even climb.
Deinonychus is a bird in Ark Valguero that looks like a raptor and therefore can glide somewhat but can’t fly. Players would like to tame this dinosaur because it has special skills, like being able to climb walls, jump trees, and bite other animals.
How The Deinonychus Works In Ark:
The Deinonychus isn’t very big, but that doesn’t mean it’s weak. This small predator with feathers is known for being able to kill bigger animals with ease. This is because it has long claws and hunts in groups.
The Deinonychus has a special ability called “bleed,” which lets it rip an enemy and do damage based on a percentile over time. This means that Brontos, Rexes, or even Bosses, which have a lot of Health, will take a lot of damage when hit by a Deinonychus.
Deinonychus is a very territorial animal that will attack right away if you get too close to its nests. As they travel in groups and have damage that makes them bleed, you can be sure that if you get caught off guard, you won’t be able to run away.
Deinonychus can also grab onto the side of bigger animals, like a T-Rex or a Bronto, and lift them up and out of the way of their attacks. If they grab you, you’ll have to come up with an alternate way to attack them.
Take Some Thing Before Taming:
There’s just one way to get a Deinonychus, and if you don’t want to die in the process, you’ll have to move very quickly. You’ll need the following things to do this.
- A flying mount
- Good timing
Like the Wyvern, Magmasaur, as well as Rock Drake, the only way to tame a Deinonychus is to steal one of its eggs. Even though this seems easy, the Deinonychus in the area will attack you right away, so you’ll need to be quick as well as careful.
You’ll need to go to the White Cliffs area of the Valguero map to find the eggs. They are also on the map of Fjordur. There, you need to look for a red glow inside a nest. This means that an egg is ready to be taken.
Look around to see if there are any roaming Deinonychus and make sure they are far away from you. Place your flying mount on the nest or as close as possible and press the interact key to take the egg.
At this point, you must quickly get back on your mount & float away before the Deinonychus comes back. If the nest is close to a cliff, you could indeed hang the Deinonychus from the cliff to make it easier to steal the eggs.
Once you get your stolen egg back, you’ll need to put it in an Incubator or, if you have the S+ Mod, a Hatchery so it can hatch. If you don’t have either, you could indeed heat the egg by putting down Aircons or fires. Be careful, because it might hatch without you knowing if you don’t keep an eye on the incubation bar.
Once the Deinonychus hatchling is ready, you’ll need to claim it to add it to your team. As the Deinonychus grows up, it will need different items or interactions to improve its Imprinting. When they grow up, imprinted animals have better statistics and a buff.
How To Make A Saddle For Deinonychus:
To unlock the recipe for the Deinonychus Saddle, you must have reached level 32 and have 30 Engram Points. To craft, you require the following things.
- 110x Hide
- 65x Fiber
- 20x Wood
What The Deinonychus Ate:
Once your Deinonychus has hatched, you have to take care of it. Since Deinonychus eat meat, it’s easy to figure out what they should eat.
- Raw Mutton.
- Raw Mutton.
- Prime raw fish meat.
- Meat that hasn’t been cooked.
- Raw fish.
How To Breed The Deinonychus:
Here’s how to get the breeding ready: When you have a male and a female specimen, you construct a cage that is at least big enough. Put both dinosaurs in the pen and utilize the command menu to tell them to “wander.”
You can also go straight to “Pair,” but then there must always be another player nearby or the pairing will stop because of how the game is rendered. A Deinonychus can have babies every 18 to 48 hours.
