Easiest thing I have tamed so far as a beginner, highly recommend making a pack of these for when you go hunting
How to tame raptors:
1.Craft bola.
2.Craft wooden bat/club.
3.Collect meat for the raptor.
4.Open quest: Hunt: Raptor, and get out your map and compass and find the raptor on the map, it’s location should be marked with a circle. Make sure you have the bola hotbarred.
5.When you see the raptor, get out your bola and throw it at the raptor immediately.
6.Get behind the raptor, as while trapped in the bola, it can still attack from the front.
7.Hit it on the tail until it falls unconscious, then feed it your recently claimed raw meat, and wait.
8.Should enough time pass, you shall have your raptor! Now train it with caution as while they are great damage dealers, they aren’t the tankiest in terms of health, so leveling that up is top priority. Thx for reading
If ur wondering how to tame these guys, don’t worry, I tamed one that had 1,000 health. If u want practice getting close to raptors, I recommend doing the raptor hunt pursuit before u attempt to tame a raptor. First, u need to be prepared. Get at least 3-4 bolas, a pike, tranq arrows and bow, and meat and narcotic. For a low lvl u probably won’t need narcotic but mine was lvl 95 so i hv no idea about low lvls. Next, u need to find raptors. They’re usually found in the forest in the far southeast of the Island. Then u just need to knock it out. Approach it slowly and wait for it to run towards u (u don’t wanna go towards it bc then it only has to run a short distance to come attack u). Give urself plenty of time and when it runs towards u, throw bola and knock it out quickly (bolas only last 30 seconds). Put meat in its inventory and use narcotic if unconscious bar goes too low. Keep ur eye out for other raptors (they usually hunt in packs) and use ur pike to defend urself and ur raptor. I recommend bringing a few fighting creatures in case u get jumped on. Once the taming bar reaches the end, u hv a raptor! Raptor saddle unlocks at lvl 18 but if ur still too scared (like me) i recommend waiting till u hv at least tranq arrows (unlock at lvl 21).
Raptors are very useful bc they are pretty fast and they attack well.
Talon (my raptor), is now lvl 130 and it has been a trusty backup when I go hunting. Plz up so other players see this.
For mobile players only…
There is lots of raptors in the southern isles.
Most of them are by the mountains obviously,
But if your looking for them go there.
MOBILE TIPS
Raptor taming guide
1. Craft bolas (there can be a pack, a lone raptor is rare)
2. Bola the raptor and use either a club or tranq arrows
3. Feed it any type of meat (idk about fish meat)
4. Wait for it to tame
If you tame a good 3 or 4 raptors,you can not only take down bigger and better dino's, but get meat,recourses, and a lot of hide by killing other dino's.
Bola the raptor, go behind it and club till unconscious, and then feed it raw meat and if the unconsciousness is going down fast, just give it narcotics, pretty easy to make at low level, i recommend to feed it 3 narcotics or 2,, I tamed a level 2 Raptor in less than 10 minutes with that method, just for it to die to a spinosaurus, so definitely come with a saddle :) , please like
Best 2nd tame, get yourself a trike and then a raptor and you have your berry gatherer for herbivore tames/narco berries and the raptor for meat gathering for carnivorous tames. Sorted.
Use a bola and tranq arrows on a crossbow
If you hit a level 95 raptor, with a bola. It is very easy to knock out with Tranq arrows and fist. VERY EASY. The only hard part of taming a raptor is the part of just sitting and putting meat and giving it narcos or narcoberries.
When I was playing primal fear I saw a raptor and started to run. Suddenly I remembered a human against a raptor is a win for humans so I turned around and fought it! Then this message appeared: you were killed by an alpha raptor level 204. Oops...
Use a horse. Easiest knockout ever.
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!
If you want a raptor take these steps .be level 21 . Get tranq arrow . Get in water . Shoot the raptor with tranq arrow . tame it with you meat🤨💀
They can escape a trap made of doors on Ascended. I didn’t see how (I’m guessing they fit through the door space now) but I dropped one in a taming box made of doors 3 high and was parking my Argy when I heard all this commotion and he was going nuts on my tames I had set to Passive.
