Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a raptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a raptor.
The simplest way to catch these guys is to bola them.
A high rock is ideal, but I’ve had that blow in my face a couple of times. Here’s how I do it:
1.) get in raptor’s line of sight with your bola already swinging. He’ll run in a straight line towards you… it’s hard not to miss.
2.) hit raptor with bola just as he is about to grab you, so there’s no chance of you missing.
3.) get behind trapped raptor and beat him unconscious with either club or fists. The reason I say behind is that if you’re in front and you approach him, he can grab and pin you still. Learned this the hard way once or twice…
You got him! Feed it raw meat, and enjoy. I have five lvl 10-20 raptors, and they kill theris and carnos in a matter of seconds. They’re a must have.
Quick and easy way to tame a raptor
Step 1: craft a bola or two
Step 2: throw the bola at the raptor (it might run at you, so do it quick)
Step 3: knock it out with tranq arrows (bring 10+ arrows)
Step 4: once the raptor is knocked out you can feed it raw meat, raw fish meat or raw prime meat (if the meat is cooked it’s even better) prime meat is the best meat you can feed it. Up this if it was useful.
Raptors aren’t great in combat, but can usually help you out of an early game scrape so here’s a guide to tame one.
1. Raptors are all over the jungles in the southern half of the island, sometimes wandering down to the beach. They often spawn in groups so watch out for multiple. Kill all others you don’t want, because they will make taming really annoying.
2. Raptors can be bola’d so use that to trap them as they run towards you. IF TAMING MULTIPLE IN ONE PACK, bola them ALL before you start shooting, or they will harass you as you try to tranq the first one you bola. Once they are all bola’d tranq them in the order of first bola’d to last. That way the one that will break free soonest is tranqed first. If you are taming lots in one group and you can’t tranq them all before they break out, tranq as many as you can then get away and wait for the bola cooldown to reset, then repeat. You will need about 5 tranq arrows per max level or 3 tranq darts
3. I recommend feeding them prime meat, because it is readily accessible and saves a lot of taming effectiveness, but if you have simple kibble definitely use it for the extra levels. On official it’ll take 17ish prime, vs around 7 on single player.
Happy taming!
Try to stay in flat open land, this allows you to easily snare the raptor with a bola. Approach slowly until it runs straight at you then throw the bola at it. Once hit with the bola you can easily KO it using any method you choose.
Use parasuar kibble for faster and higher level tames if possible since you need less than 30 kibbles for a perfect 100+ level tame. It may also be easier at lower levels since gathering meat can sometimes be difficult and parasuars are easy tames.
Bolas are the best for Raptor taming.
Dont. Be scared of this guy
U can just bola and tame it using some tranq arrows or slingshot
(When i first encountered it i was scared but do not be scared haha)

Easy way how to find a raptors and tame them.
Step 1. Get a pteranodon
Step 2. Fly in the air and look around groups of other dinos (do this because raptors spawn by small dinos) if that deosnt work here’s another way.
Part 2 Step 1. Get a pteranodon and fly to a river or spawn at a river.
Here’s how to tame one very easily.
Step 1. Find a raptor all alone fighting some weak and small
Step 2. Craft a Bola and throw it at the raptor
Step 3. Craft a bow/sling shot and craft some tranq arrows or get some rocks
Step 4. Shoot the raptor while it’s trapped in the bola
Step 5. Get some raw meat or some parasaur kibble and put the food up it’s butt and there’s your new pet.

How to tame a raptor!!!
Now,let’s start packing
You will need
1:Raw meat
2:narcotic (if you have motor and pestle)
3:bow and arrow(tranq arrows.you don’t want to kill the thing)
4:bolas(it’s always safe to bring extras)
5:a club
Now that we are done packing,let’s see what kind of taming mode you wanna do
Mode 1:Get on top of a rock and shoot it with tranqs and a bola
Mode2:hit it with a club or fists
Choose one of those modes and go try it!
I think if you are in ark mobile make sure to tame a t bone and get a saddle you can shot tranks from atop whale the rap can’t properly latch on to it 👍🏻 so that mobile can get one of these for once
Use your expendable friend as bait
These are probably the best early game tame. They are easy to knock out and feed, they are common, they are fast and they are great at attacking. They also work very well in packs, If you have a few good levels you can take down some pretty strong foes
If you are a beginner, on easy mode, this thing is COMPLETELY AWESOME. It takes about 50 cooked meat for a lvl 30 but taming is EXTREMELY FAST. Just bola its face! Then slingshot its face! Then feed its FACE. And BAAAAAM RAPTOR
How to tame a raptor. First we must prepare
-tranq arrows or club
-meat,prime,mutton
-naracotics or narcoberries
-saddle for the raptor
-bolas
Now the taming begins
-find a raptor
-bola him/her
-knock it out with bow,crossbow or club
-put meat in into its inventory
Wait and……. BOOM you have a raptor enjoy!
If you are a beginner then I prefer you to run, unless you have a bola.
To tame 1. Bola it
2. Hit it with hands/bat NOT AT HEAD
3.Tame it with meat-beginner’s
To tame velociraptor
1. Craft at least two bola’s
2. Search the west for them (most common there)
3. Throw bola before he/she pounces
4. Hit a few times with club
5. Bola a couple seconds after last bola (to not escape)
6. Feed at least 8 raw meat (depends on level)(more info on how to feed in Dododex)
7. Wait patiently for tame ready
8. Keep it alive...
Disclaimer: this is all based on my experience
Step 1: make bolas, narcotics, saddle, etc.
Step 2: scout out raptors (don't bring any tames, and don't let them see you if you're unprepared)
Step 3: kill the rest if they are in a pack (keep the one you want obviously)
Step 4: bola that sh*t
Step 5: knock it out
Step 6: shove some meat up its anus
Step 7: keep it asleep unless you want it to eat you
Step 8: after it awakens, name it
Easiest thing I have tamed so far as a beginner, highly recommend making a pack of these for when you go hunting
