I recommend taming one of these because they are one of the best early game tames. Here’s a tutorial.

First, I will show what you need.

Tranq arrows x8 (it only takes one head shot but bring a few in case you misfire or there’s a pack)

Bola x6 (in case you miss or if there’s a pack)

Raw Meat x15

And that is all you need.

Now actually taming one.

The way I usually tame them is by starting the Hunt: Raptor pursuit because the location of the nearest raptor shows on the Map when you start the pursuit.

So now the encounter. Encounter with caution. When it charges at you, ready your bola and….. THROW! If there are multiple be ready to throw another one.

Now shoot a tranq arrow at the raptor’s head and wait 4 seconds. Then it will pass out.

Now, put meat in it’s inventory, wait for it to tame, and BOOM! You have a raptor.

(Side note. If you want to get a saddle for it you need fiber, wood, and hide. Fiber is collected from bushes, wood is collected from trees, surprise right? And you can use your new raptor to kill some trikes, dilos, turtles, moschops, dodos, or any other animal that is easy to kill. Then when you kill enough get the hide from the raptors inventory and then make the saddle.)

(Shorter side note, The raptor has a fast attack. On mobile, if you jump and then swipe down on top of a Dino, you will jump on top of it and the Dino won’t be able to move. You can still attack it. This even works on other raptors!)

Have fun with your new raptor!
