Raptors are extremely annoying sometimes. Wild ones attack fast, and pounce at some point. Just craft some bolas, DONT USE BAT/CLUB. It will kill the raptor if you do. Use fists, and before you set out to tame one, you have to get 1 stack of meat if you are taming a low lvl like 1-5 in my opinion. But get more meat stacks if you plan on taming higher lvls. I tamed a raptor and she is lvl 4 I think, and she isnt all the fast, nor her weight isnt good. When you craft a raptor saddle, and you mount it, raptor might get ecumbered because of your weight. So use little items for newly tamed raptors that are low. All you need if you are a starter, is good agility skills (In rl) for the game, bola, and a spare bola. Stacks of meat, and raptor saddles. But anyways thats how you tame it. I have just posted this 13 mins after I tamedy raptor. Her name is Autumn. REMEBER: Do not try to tame raptors with an otter on shoulder, or a bat. It results in killing your raptor before taming it! Also, try looking for decent colors if you have time. So please, UP this if it is helpful. Lastly, Raptors can be very annoying. Sometimes they mess up your dinos you are still taming. A result in death. But when raptors are tamed, they can be useful. Upgrade weight if you are planning on riding raptor!!!! -TinaZ. R.I.P. Amina, the otter. LvL 25. Died from raptor or titanoboa attack. (I cant remember which attacked her, but she died for me in redwoods. RAPTORS CAN SPAWN THERE!) Hope this helped!)
