ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you ever encounter a raptor;
•Try to bola it if you have one and escape.
•If you don't have a bola,Run through trees and rocks in a zigzag way, creatures in ark are a bit too dumb in chasing.
•If there aren't many trees or rocks,for ex: you are in a plane area,try to lure the raptor to a passive or herbivores dino,like trikes,carbos,or even some moschops.
•If there isn't anything mentioned above then there's one way, Die and recollect the items.🤪
In a recent PC (and very soon to console) update these little jerks can now pounce on you...and they WILL. Every. Damn. Time. They knock you off mounts and on you to the ground while they gnaw on your bones...mocking you. They’ve knocked me off an argy and therozinos several times. They’re much more deadly now. PS...alpha raptors ALSO do this.
Breeding not-so-basics 101:
Incubation: surround the egg in a ring of torches (recommend standing) and light them wooden poles on fire, if it says too hot, turn off a torch. Too cold? Light one up. If it is just right, there should be no “Too Hot!” Or “Too Cold!” Sign and should say “Incubating (10:00:00)” or something like that and the teal blue bar should go down. But if the red bar is going down instead of the blue, check the egg conditions again. If the red bar reaches zero, it cracks and it disappears. But if it hatches correctly, y’a got a baby creature, hooray!
Imprinting: this one’s a doozie, so imma make it simple. Imprinting is a OPTIONAL a thing to do. “But why so many YouTubers like Syntac do it???” Shush, I was gonna get to that. Imprinting provides health and damage bonuses, being best i remember +50% or 1.5x stats. But how do you imprint? Oh it’s easy. Once you have a baby dino and NOT let it starve (it can’t eat until it’s a juvenile) sooner or later it wants care, coming from a cuddle, walk, cooked prime fish meat… EXTRAORDINARY KIBBLE?!? Yeah there’s a lot it can range from. And it varies per dino per imprint method per server settings, so if you have a giga you wanna imprint and the imprint times only like 10 seconds, each single imprint will make such a small dent it’s like trying to blow away the moon with your breath, it’s gonna take a bit, again. Depending on your settings
Age Stages: the shortest one of them all. So imma make this really wasteful of vertical space
Baby: 1/10 of max hp and weight i think
Juvenile: can start eating from troughs, i haven’t really cared much about baby stats so I’m just guessing 1/2 of max hp and weight
Adolescent: 3/4 Of max hp and weight, I think it can start attacking, idk what or how much it does compared to fully grown
Adult/mature: fully grown, 100% usage of health and weight bars. That’s basically it

Be carefull new ark players these raptors will cling on you and kill you. It is most recommended to use a bola to knock out and tame this creature with raw mutton and primemeat
This is how to beat a alpha raptor…
1. Find a alpha raptor
2. Get it’s attention on you and aggro it
3. Go to an area with a lot of herbivores and hide underneath a diplo and bronto if you can’t find a large pack of trikes or stegos
4.go to a high rock and see the raptor getting beated
5. If the raptor kills the Dino’s get out a shotgun and some of the ammo or get a crossbow with tranq arrows and shoot the alpha raptor
6. Make sure that you skin the alpha to get a lot of prime meat
7. Use that prime meat to tame more raptors
8. Get a raptor squad and go on a hunt for alpha raptors once in a while
9. Breed your squad to get lots of baby raptors
10. Get the left over prime meat or meat and make sure to feed the baby raptors
11. Enjoy!
Can you maybe like this comment? I wrote for a while correcting my GRAMMeR for yall
When I was new in Ark and killed multiple times by Raptor, so I decided to tame one. I bring bola, narcotic, meat and started searching for it. I found him and try to bola but missed and he killed. Again I try bola, missed and killed for 5-6 times then I thought I cannot bola him. I climbed on rock and try to tranquize. He was very fast I missed some arrow and hits a lot of tranq arrow and killed multiple times in this process. Finally I killed him just by using tranq. After a lots of day I understand that Raptor was an Alpha and cannot be tamed 🥲
Raptors killed my level 29 para named Birdy Bird (dont Ask Why it’s name is birdy bird). I had to abandon Birdy bird! One like for R.I.P Birdy Bird :(
If you encounter an alpha raptor while riding a weak tame and it attacks you. go swimming under water and get out of its range I saved my raptor (lvl 20) like this.
If One is following you and you are not prepaired hide behind a larhe herbivore like a trike. The raptor will accidently hit it and they will fight to the death. Run while the battle is still hapening. Hope this helped. Up for noobs who have never seen a raptor
Use a bola and use narc arrows, or use a slingshot if you have too.
In Ragnarock across the bridge with the holes there are some Tek Raptors and regular Raptors to!
Here’s a better chance and not much of a arrow waste use crossbow and shoot them at the head it makes it faster to make it asleep
I have killed 30 low level raptors and still can't find a good level 145
This is how to tame a raptor:
1- get a bola or craft one
2- get some meat
3- take atleast 5 narcotics for it to not wake up
4 - find one and bola it
5 - hit it with a club
6 - once you knock it out put the narcotics and meat in it
7- wait....
8-boom! A raptor!
Note: I recommend you first unlock tranq arrows, bow and arrows, since these guys do come in packs up to 2 to 5, I knocked mine out with tranq arrows, and it's also more effective.
The Raptor is the best starter cave tame and PvP tame
1: craft some bolas( 3-5 would work just in case you miss or there's more then one)
2: make sure you have a Wooden club and meat( prime meat would be good if you can get your hands on it)
3: find a raptor and bola it
4: once it's trapped beat it up with a wooden club(lol)
5: once it's knocked out feed it meat in it's inventory
6: level 18 is when you can get raptor saddle for 9 points
7: to pounce swipe down on mobile
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs
If you see one of these guys they will jump on you and you cant attack them when they do but if youre in water they cant jump on you so get to water.
Up for the noobs
Raptors are essentially better Dilos. Whe lacking the poisonous blinding spit of a Dilo, they have a much better DPS due to their speed. In groups of three or more they benefit from a pack boost, and in groups of at least four I notice they tend to take on bigger threats on the Ark (notably Sarcos and Kapros). Plus their pounce ability is not to be overlooked.
In short, tame Dilos for the early game, but Raptors as you move into mid game.
