02:23 - 04:47
3. ⚔️ Combat Tactics: Latching and Damage-Over-Time (DOT) Attack
- ✅ Deinonychus can latch onto creatures, causing mayhem with a damage-over-time (DOT) attack.
- ✅ To latch, jump and hold your position.
- ⚠️ Stamina is crucial for maintaining the latch; increasing stamina is recommended.

4. 🐉 Deinonychus in Combat: Dragon Fight and Harvesting
- ✅ Deinonychus packs are effective against the dragon due to their DOT attack.
- ⚠️ However, their low health can be a disadvantage.
- ✅ They can chase down almost anything and deal significant damage.
- ⚠️ Harvesting is not their forte due to weight limits, despite yielding a lot of meat.
05:48 - 07:04
5. 🥚 Kibble Production: Regular vs. Fertilized Eggs
- ✅ Idle Deinonychus lay regular Raptor eggs, which yield green kibble (not super good).
- ✅ Breeding Deinonychus results in fertilized Deinonychus eggs, which are used for extraordinary kibble.
- ✅ This is one of the easiest ways to obtain extraordinary kibble early in the game.

6. 🗺️ Taming the Deinonychus: Egg Gathering Locations on Valguero
- ⚠️ Deinonychus cannot be tamed by knocking them out.
- ✅ You must gather their eggs and hatch them.
- ✅ Early game, using a Pteranodon is the easiest way to gather eggs.
- ✅ Deinonychus nests are typically found in the southeastern and eastern parts of the Valguero map.

7. 📍 Finding Deinonychus Nests: Spotting Packs and Safe Egg Retrieval
- ✅ Look for groups of 3-5 Deinonychus running around, indicating a nearby nest.
- ⚠️ Be cautious, as they will jump on you and inflict DOT.
- ✅ One of the presenter's favorite spots is around 65 85 on the Valguero map.
10:13 - 12:33
8. 🥚 Gathering Eggs: Best Locations and Breeding Pen Setups
- ✅ The presenter's favorite spot is around 55 95, where a path leads to a Deinonychus area with multiple nests.
- ⚠️ Bring a Pteranodon for safety, as the area is dangerous on foot.
- ✅ For kibble production, surround a male with multiple females in a breeding pen.
- ✅ Various breeding pen designs exist, including towers with elevators and round setups.
12:34 - 13:47
9. 🔥 Hatching and Saddling: Requirements and Crafting
- ✅ Hatching requires air conditioners or campfires to maintain the correct temperature.
- ✅ You can hatch a Deinonychus early game, potentially having one by level 40.
- ✅ The Deinonychus saddle is crafted in your inventory and requires 65 fiber, 110 hide, and 20 wood.
- ✅ The saddle is learnable at level 32.
